Every puzzle uses pictures from that era, and its music plays while you play. • 200 brand-new pictures: jukeboxes, lava lamps, roller skates, boomboxes and more, drawn with bold outlines so they're easy to recognize. • Four clear levels, from Beginner to Advanced. Each one adds a little more to keep in mind. • New Hint gives you a short phrase to say out loud while you search, to help hold the rule in your head. • New Magnifier: drag it onto any picture to see it up close. • The Image Key shows every picture used at your level. • Music controls: change songs, adjust the volume or pause the music at any time. • A clearer results screen: see your score, then tap Try Again to correct any puzzle you missed. • Ten new, randomly generated puzzles every time you play, so you'll never run out. • Pick the background color you find most comfortable while you play. • Ready for more rehearsal?
