About the Pirates 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.
Treasure maps, parrots, cutlasses and jolly rogers — set sail with our pirates memory game. Brilliant for swashbuckling kids and fans of high-seas adventure.
How to Play
- Press Start and memorise every picture on the board.
