# Relaxing Puzzle Apps 'Breath of Light' is a Meditative Gaming Experience with Hypnotic Sounds By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-01-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breath-of-light References: [wersm](http://wersm.com/6-best-mindfulness-apps-every-type-digital-creative/) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/breath-light-relaxing-puzzler/id959800639?mt=8) Unlike the many [puzzle games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocean-wood-screw) out there that are fast-paced feature heart-pumping constraints and challenges, 'Breath of Light' sets itself apart as a "relaxing puzzler" that's calming, beautiful and meditative. The puzzle game revolves around water lilies that are followed by bursts of light. Players are challenged to guide these balls of "energy" through the garden, all the while being soothed by a [hypnotic soundtrack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/healing-sounds-meditation-calm) from Winterpark. Unlike many [meditation apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shut-up-breathe) that call for people to set aside their phones and sit in stillness for a few moments, which can be a challenge, this one still permits a level of activity that most technology users would be comfortable with. Rather than earning points, defeating bosses or leveling up, one "wins" at this game through quieting the mind. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Relaxing Puzzle Games:** Opportunity to create more puzzle games that promote relaxation and meditation. - **Meditative Gaming:** Opportunity for game developers to create more games with calming and soothing attributes. - **Gamification of Meditation:** Opportunity to incorporate gaming elements into meditation practices. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Gaming Industry:** Chance for the gaming industry to expand into the meditation market. - **Mental Health Industry:** Potential for mental health professionals to incorporate relaxing puzzle games into meditation therapy. - **Mobile App Industry:** Opportunity for mobile app developers to create more meditation and relaxation apps that incorporate gaming elements. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mindful Virtual Reality Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maloka.md) - [Relaxing Brain Teaser Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinkle-words.md) - [Cozy Meditative Digital Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simpler-times.md) - [Soothing Puzzle Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puzzle-odyssey.md) - [Cozy Self-Exploration Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/betwixt.md) - [Relaxing Light-Based VR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-sugar.md) - [Casual Nature-Inspired Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-of-the-sea.md) - [Stress-Reducing Activity Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stressreducing-activity.md) - [AI Breath Work Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breath-confetti.md)
