Oblique Strategies was originally a set of cards created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt back in 1975. Each card contains effectively a single prompt intended to help get you unstuck creatively. Prompts like:

  • Use an old idea.
  • State the problem in words as clearly as possible.
  • Only one element of each kind.
  • What would your closest friend do?
  • What to increase? What to reduce?

This site is an online version, each refresh showing a new random card. Interesting.
