Palace

Drag rooms into a route and arrange them into a walk you can picture. Place each item into a room, study the route, then recall it from memory by assigning the hidden items back to their steps in order. Exact-order matches score most, with partial credit for the right item in the wrong step.

• Build a route by dragging and ordering rooms
• Walk each item into a room, then memorise the walk
• Recall the route in order once the items are hidden
• Daily routes feed a spaced-repetition scheduler; Practice is throwaway

• Desktop: drag rooms into the route (or click to add), click items then rooms to place, click steps to recall
• Phone & tablet: tap rooms to add, tap an item then a room to place it, tap steps and items to recall

• Picture a vivid, slightly absurd image of each item in its room, it sticks better
• Pick a route you can mentally walk in a natural order
• Replay the Daily over days; nailing a route stretches its review interval

Palace is a memory-training game built on the classic method of loci, the memory-palace technique.

• Skills: memory techniques, the method of loci, recall
• Best for: roughly grades 5–12 (and adults)
• For parents & teachers: the ancient memory-palace technique.

Placing items along a route you can picture, then walking it again to retrieve them, is the method of loci — the memory palace, a technique of classical rhetoric still used by competitive memorisers today.

The original structure is that you build the route first, arranging rooms into a walk, before anything is placed in it.

That order is the part people get wrong. The technique works because the route is already familiar and already ordered, so it supplies the sequence for free; a palace improvised while memorising gives you two things to remember instead of one.
