About the Detective What's Missing? Game
A picture-recall challenge based on the classic parlour game. Study a board of pictures for a few seconds, then one quietly disappears — can you say which? Rounds get bigger and faster as you go, and three wrong answers ends the run.
Magnifying glasses, trench coats, fingerprints and typewriters — classic detective memory matching for fans of whodunnits.
How to Play
