About the Robin Hood 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.
The Robin Hood legends are centuries old and firmly public domain. Longbows, Sherwood Forest, green-hooded outlaws and the Sheriff of Nottingham all star in our merry-men memory game.
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.
Why Play What's Missing?
- Trains observation and visual recall under time pressure
- Based on "Kim’s Game", used for over a century in memory training
- Great party and classroom game — call answers out loud together
