Level up to unlock new palaces for your start screen and show them off to your friends! Too busy? Then try playing Against The Clock and be the fastest to memorize 10 random icons in chronological order.

Update is a step back
sanborn55
Great game, with a lot of replay value and beautiful in simplicity, but as another review said, the update was a big downgrade for the icon selection part of the game. Please add an option to toggle the old style, where you select icons from all the available ones, not just the ones that were shown. Making sure to memorize the correct icons, and not confuse them with similar looking ones was a very enjoyable part of the game before. This was taken away with the update. Similarly, the removal of the “confirm” button takes away the need to commit to your choices, another fun part of the game before. Lastly, selecting icons is less convenient post-update due the icons being smaller. Please give players an option to enjoy the game as it was previously! Thank you!
Maybe landscape mode?

The game is ok. The text and icons on the iPhone are so small that it would be nice to use it in a landscape view. Super generic as far as play goes, needs animation and a better way to review what you have completed before you move on to the next “palace.”
Buggy

Upon buying the game and downloading it there were immediate bugs not even allowing me to play the game. Feel completely ripped off. Game won’t even begin.
Not really a memory palace but good nonetheless

The name is misleading, as the app really has little to do with the memory palace technique. However, it is an excellent training app for the story method (a.k.a. The mnemonic link system), which is technique that is often used inside a memory palace but it stands on its own.
Hopefully fixed

Okay, the developer responded; I reinstalled and was able to get my progress back and adjusted my rating. As for instability, I haven't had further problems running on XS Max. Aside from that it is a fun and rather addictive game. Happy building!
Deleted after update

I loved this game so much but when I opened it and there was an update it all went downhill. Instead of having to remember which ones you saw mixed with decoys and click them in order you know only see the ones that were showed. I’m always having to fix it because when I move an icon it lands in the wrong place 90% of the time. Also there’s no “finished” button so unlike before, you could rearrange until you got it right there is no real risk of getting it wrong here...honestly I deleted it after this update.
Simple, Lovely.

The animations & designs are really good, the simplicity makes this game as useful as a memory trainer that there really can be. It needs some refinement and some additional work to be great and maybe even trending towards essential, but it works for what it is. Cons: UI could use some tweaks, it needs to be more intuitive, it edges on perfect but still has some overlooked elements. Design/animations could be bettered, which would make this app better. Keep it up devs, you got something with solid potential here.
A memory game
Boatguy2002
This is a memory game, it is a lot of fun if you like challenging your memory to build it stronger. I’ve read a lot of comments that people say it’s no fun and has no point, but the point is to use your memory to recall the pictures after you see them. If you don’t know what to do, just make up a little story that links them together in order, every time you do it, you get a little better at it. It’s a game, it’s that simple. To the developers: I would love to see the icons animate during the recall phase. I don’t always recognize them when they’re not animated.
