I want to add a new angle like trying to solve a brain teaser and then looking at it in some other way makes it possible.
Some scales or something that will add a new flavour I don't currently use. Honestly, I thought this would be much easier, since all I know is essentially one pattern and that's it.

Well, using guide tones is a way of freeing yourself up from box patterns and shapes.
Check out Ed Byrne's comments on the concept of "Linear Improvisation."
Or do you actually not want help? It seems like you're looking for some easy answer like "play this scale over this chord and you'll get a totally new sound." It doesn't work like that.
