Developed with scientists, the idea is that by feeding your ears a continuous loop of single band frequencies, you'll enter a relaxed mental state.

But the most notable and brave feature in Zen mode is 'binaural beats'. Poker was released as a trial version, which could be unlocked in full.

It runs under Windows 7 and Windows 8, but I just upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now Bejeweled 3 crashes. On February 27, 2014, Poker from Bejeweled 3 was added to the game, alongside new badges. There are options to help you modulate your breathing while the game plays relaxing ambient noise. I own the full version of Bejeweled 3 for Windows. Firstly, everything is easier, with more opportunities to create multiplier gems and less chance of the dreaded 'NO MORE MOVES' situation. Bejeweled 3's new Zen mode is remarkable.Īn addition intended to relax stressed minds, Zen mode takes Bejeweled's regular mechanic clearing an 8x8 grid by aligning identically coloured jewels in rows of three or more and adds a few tweaks. I've been in a trance-like state for the last two hours, subconsciously creating rows of identically coloured gems and breathing in time to visual cues, while the sound of falling rain coerces me into a deep, meditative state.
