About the Retro Sweet Shop recall game
Remember handing over pocket money for a paper bag of pick-and-mix? Sherbet fountains, gobstoppers, flying saucers and toffees — the retro sweet shop deck is sugar-coated nostalgia with zero calories.
Did you know?
- The candy floss machine was co-invented in 1897 by William Morrison — who was, of all things, a dentist.
- Gobstoppers earn their name honestly: the biggest ones can take days of licking to finish.
- Sherbet gets its fizz from a reaction between bicarbonate of soda and citric acid on your tongue.
- Traditional British sweet shops sold sweets by the quarter — a quarter of a pound, about 113 grams.

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.
