I think the Google idea of having a day where someone can work on anything is a good way to keep creativity up. If someone has had an idea during the week, they get the chance to work on a prototype of it. If someone just needs a break from the project they are working on, they can work on something else; which helps give them different experiences, thoughts, etc, which also helps boost creativity.
Just let your devs do something different. Go somewhere new as a team, have them read something unrelated to work, get them to experience new ideas.

put LSD in their coffee, that always leads to creativity

I've found that everyone having a nerf gun can keep things fun, and when your employees are in a fun atmosphere they're more productive.

Put LSD in their nerf ammunition?

Make the development process conform ITIL and ISO. That is the way to go!
