Trains visual memory like a little detective game. A row of items sits on a shelf for your child to remember, then the lights flash off — when they come back on, one item is gone. Have your child recall it and tap the right answer. The better you get, the more items appear and the less time you get to memorize them. Trains visual memory and observation — playable even before your child can read.
Items line up on the shelf for a short while for your child to memorize, then the lights flash off once. When they come back on, one item is gone — have your child tap the answer they think is missing. Get it wrong and the game reveals the answer, then starts a new round. The better you do, the more items appear (from 3 up to 6) and the shorter the memorizing time gets.
Visual memory and recall — the brain has to take a mental snapshot of the shelf and compare it against what it sees afterward.
Tips for parents
Have your child say each item's name out loud while memorizing (apple-car-ball) — naming things helps the brain store them as a list, which is easier to recall than a plain image.
On purpose — if the wrong answers were unfamiliar items, a child could guess correctly just from recognizing what's new, without really remembering anything. Choices drawn from the shelf force them to recall exactly which piece is gone.
The first level gives just over 3 seconds to memorize only 3 items, and the game gets easier automatically if your child answers wrong.
Yes, and you should! Set out 4-5 objects, have your child close their eyes, then remove one — the on-screen game is great for practicing solo when no one's around to play with.
