About the NFL What's Missing? Game
Thirty-two NFL franchises; hard boards hold twelve pairs, so monograms are split across three decks. Every team also has its own fan theme. Logos stay out — they are trademarked.

Study tip: link the first three — cardinals, falcons and ravens — into one ridiculous mental picture. Absurd images stick; lists don't. When a picture vanishes, replay the scene and ask what doesn't fit any more.
How to memorise a sports board
Anchor every item to a moment you have watched: the last-second shot, the penalty saved, the bowled stumps. Sports decks memorise through highlight reels — one mental clip per tile — because motion is what the brain archives best from sport.
Sort by the field they play on. Pitch, court, track, pool and ring each hold a subset of the deck, and knowing the venue of the missing volleyball shrinks the search from twelve tiles to the two that share its court.
How to Play
- Press Start and memorise every picture on the board.
- After a few seconds the board hides and one picture is removed.
- Pick the missing picture from the answer choices.
- Each correct answer adds a bigger board. Three misses ends the game.

Sports deck questions
Are the sports decks club-specific?
The big club and franchise themes are — there are dedicated decks for dozens of football clubs and NFL teams, with the words and colours of each. This page's deck is the general sports kit; the club decks live under the sports category.
Good game for a sports-mad child who refuses "memory games"?
This is the horse to lead to water. A deck of things they already care about plus a timer plus "I bet you cannot beat 40 seconds" is the whole trick. Keep the scoreboard honest and they will come back.
