We are sure you know this game, lots of items are put onto a table. They are covered, one item is removed, then you are shown the items again and you have to name what's missing.

It has been designed to improve your memory and get some of that grey matter working, this is one of the best mental exercises around.

Testing on friends and family, we found lots of people initially struggle with only 9 items, however after a little practise they are up beyond 25 items and going strong!

One of the best tips we've heard is quickly use the items on the table to make a little story, we all like stories and find them easier to remember. Once the item has been removed, run through the story in your head and you should be able to see what's been removed. It actually works and is good fun too.
