About the Desert recall game
Endless dunes, blazing days and freezing nights — the desert is one of Earth's toughest neighbourhoods, and everything that lives there is a survival genius. Can your memory survive the heat?
Did you know?
- The Sahara is the largest hot desert, but the largest desert overall is actually Antarctica.
- A camel's humps store fat, not water — they let camels go days without eating.
- Some cacti can soak up and store hundreds of litres of water after a single rainstorm.
- Desert temperatures can swing from 40°C by day to below freezing at night.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Desert recall game work?
All the desert tiles are shown face up for a few seconds — memorise the layout. They then hide, and the game asks for each one in turn ("Where was the Cactus?"). Click the right spot to reveal it; wrong clicks count as misses.
What are the difficulty levels?
Quick is 6 tiles with 6 seconds of study time, Standard is 9 tiles with 8 seconds, and Full Deck lays out all 12 tiles with 10 seconds. Your best first-try score is saved for each level.
Is it free?
Completely free, no signup, nothing to install. Progress is saved privately on your device.
