Each of the petals becomes a new centre point which helps to break down broader topics such as coffee or sports into more personal \/ emotional themes. Compared to other brainstorming techniques this structure is more about depth rather than speed. This helps to come up with less generic themes that can be used as a foundation for a game.\u00a0\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8813-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8813-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8813-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8813-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8813-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8813-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"268\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8814-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8814-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8814-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8814-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8814-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/12\/IMG_8814-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"773\" data-id=\"48\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-18.42.06-1-1024x773.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-18.42.06-1-1024x773.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-18.42.06-1-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-18.42.06-1-768x580.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-18.42.06-1-1536x1160.png 1536w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jr22g22-yr3\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/45\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-18.42.06-1.png 1828w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">After doing some lotus blossom maps, it&#8217;s clear the areas of each topic that interested me the most such as mood and demographic in the coffee shop, or the social\/ community aspects from sports.
