About the Summer Camp 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 β can you say which? Rounds get bigger and faster as you go, and three wrong answers ends the run.
Toasted marshmallows, ghost stories after lights-out and friendship bracelets you kept for years β summer camp memories last a lifetime. Pitch up with this deck and match your way back to the lake.
