Story Recall

Five tiny everyday stories, each denser than the last: a lost umbrella, a garage sale, a hotel mix-up. Read before the bar drains, then answer five questions about the details once the story is gone.

How to play

Read. A 4–6 sentence story shows for 13 to 27 seconds, longer for longer stories. Ready sooner? Press “I’m ready”.
Answer. The story hides. Five multiple-choice questions on names, places, times and amounts: tap or press 1–4.
Get denser. One light story, two medium, two dense: more names, more numbers, more to hold.
Score. 10 points per right answer on a light story, 20 on medium, 30 on dense, plus up to 5 for answering fast.

Quick tips

Read for the 5 Ws. As you read, tag who, what, where, when and how much. Those are what the questions ask.
Say numbers in your head. Saying “twelve dollars, bay six” silently makes numbers stick better than just seeing them.
Picture the scene. A quick mental image of the place and people gives details somewhere to live.
Watch the look-alikes. Distractors swap details around: 412 for 214, Elm Road for Birch Close. Link each number to its thing.
Use all the time. Press “I’m ready” only when you've read the story twice. The fast-answer bonus is small next to a right answer.
