Everbright comes with default animations to keep things interesting, a push-button reset for any time you want to start from scratch, and a smoother interface than its historic cousin, the Lite-Brite (a plug-and-play toy with a tendency toward piece loss).

Hard to verify their claims, but they even say this will make workplaces more productive: “Solve hard problems faster. Everbright refreshes hard-working brains. Unconscious minds are free to work through hard problems as hands tinker with this screen-free, device-free, interruption-free, tactile toy. It’s like a giant “refresh” button for the brain.”
