Where it comes from
The gods condemned Sisyphus to roll a rock up a mountain forever, only for it to roll back down. In The Myth of Sisyphus (1942) Albert Camus was most interested in the walk back down. He ends: “One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
How to play it
Hold to push the rock uphill. On the way down, tap what he passes.
What it teaches (try it first)
Camus didn’t think the meaning was waiting at the top. It’s in the pushing, and in how you walk back down.
Ask yourself. Which boulder do you push every month, and what do you notice on the way back down?
