How to play
Flip through the 52-card deck once during the memorize phase, then place every card back into its correct position from memory. Your score rewards how many slots you nail and how fast you rebuild.
Memorize: step through each card and lock its rank and suit into memory
Harder settings shorten the memorize timer before recall begins
Recall: tap a slot, then tap the card you believe belongs there
Submit to see exactly which positions you got right or wrong
Game modes
Daily: one shared shuffled deck per day for everyone
Practice: endless fresh decks at Easy, Medium or Hard
PAO trainer: study the built-in person-action-object mnemonic system
Controls
Desktop: click Next and Prev or use the Left and Right arrow keys to study; click slots and the palette to rebuild; Enter submits your recall
Phone & tablet: tap Next and Prev to flip cards, then tap a slot followed by a card to place it
Tips & strategy
Use the person-action-object trainer to turn each card into a vivid mental image you can replay in order
Chunk the deck into small groups and rehearse each chunk as a tiny story before moving on
Fill the slots you are certain of first, then deduce the leftovers from the cards still in the palette
