How to play

1. 4827-1936

   Step 1 of 4

   Settle on the target

   Each session begins with a target number. It stands for one hidden photograph.

   • The number tells you nothing about the photograph. It gives your attention a place to rest.
   • Take a slow breath and settle.
   • Notice what comes: shapes, textures, light, movement, a feeling.

   Record impressions

   Sketch what you notice as it arrives, before you decide what it means.

   • Draw with your finger. Use Text to place a word on the sketch, or Notes for longer thoughts.
   • Describe before you name. Rough is fine, and a blank sketch is okay too.
   • Tap Submit when you are done. Your sketch locks and cannot be changed.

   Choose the match

   After you submit, two photographs appear. One is the target.

   • Tap the photograph that fits your impressions best.
   • Or drag the slider toward it. Farther from the center means more confident.
   • Neither fits? Choose Cannot determine. It is saved and left unscored.

   Step 4 of 4

   Review your feedback

   Feedback reveals the target photograph.

   • Tap View submission to see your sketch again. Notice what corresponded.
   • Daily feedback arrives the next day. Every other round shows it right away.
   • One session is one observation. Your record builds over time.

The practice

1. Settle

   Take a slow breath and let your attention rest on the target number.

2. Notice

   Let impressions come without forcing them: a shape, a texture, light, movement, a feeling.

3. Record

   Sketch or note each one as it arrives, before you decide what it means.

4. Review

   At feedback, compare your record with the target and notice what corresponded.

Where it comes from

In the 1970s, physicists Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ began testing remote viewing at SRI. A viewer described a distant place they could not see, and a judge later matched the descriptions to the real sites. Their work was part of a U.S. government program that ran from 1972 to 1995.

• 7 of 9

  sites matched in first place by a blind judge, for viewer Pat Price. Chance expects 1.

  Puthoff and Targ, 1976

• 154

  experiments with 227 participants across 15 years of the program.

  SRI’s own review, 1989

• 12,000+

  documents from the program, public in the CIA’s Stargate collection.

Figures are as reported by the researchers. The early experiments drew published criticism and replies, and remote viewing is still debated.

How Sense is built

Sense keeps the order the research used: target, record, comparison, feedback.

• The target is set first

  The target number stands for one exact photograph and tells you nothing about it.

• Your record locks

  Your sketch and notes can’t change once the two photographs appear.

• Two real photographs

  One is the target. Every target is a real photograph of a real place and time. With two to choose from, chance is 50%.

• Feedback closes the session

  The target is revealed for you to compare with your record. Some targets are Moments in Time: photographs of significant events, shown with their story, date, and place.
