About the Police Sequence Memory Game
Flashing lights, loyal police dogs and detective work — the police deck is for every kid who wants to solve mysteries and help people. Investigate the board and crack the case of the missing pairs.
What's on the Police pad

Study tip: give the first three tiles — police car, officer and flashing light — fixed positions in your head ("top-left", "middle", "bottom-right"). Sequence memory is about position as much as pictures.
How to memorise a jobs and heroes board
Give every job its tool and every tool its scene. The firefighter has the hose, the chef has the pan, the astronaut floats past the porthole — memorise the pairing, then the pairing's location. Tools-and-people is a natural two-column list, and two-column lists are the friendliest thing a memory can hold.
Then stage the day: who do you meet first in the morning, who at lunch, who last thing at night? A walk through an ordinary day touches most of a jobs deck, and the walk gives the board an order you can replay when you are hunting the missing paramedic.
How to Play
- Press Start and watch the tiles light up in order.
- When the sequence finishes, tap the same tiles in the same order.
- Each round adds one more step to the sequence.
- One wrong tap ends the run — your best round is your score.

Jobs & Heroes deck questions
Do these decks work for "what do you want to be" age kids?
Perfectly — it is that exact age. Naming the jobs, the tools and the workplaces turns the game into a vocabulary lesson that feels like play, and the themed boards keep the fantasy jobs in too.
What is the hard part of a jobs board?
The uniforms. Several items share a colour scheme, so colour will mislead you — memorise each figure by what they are holding or doing instead.
