Remember Bee is a memory improvement game produced by the University of California Riverside (UCR) Brain Game Center - A research unit focused on brain fitness methods and applications. Remember Bee is a modified rendition of the cognitive "N-back" task set in a simple but challenging navigation-style game. Players race against the clock in order for their bee to collect all of the flowers needed for pollination! The goal of the player is to collect the right signal (i.e. flowers) in order to match "N-back" along a continuous sequence. As the game gets more challenging, the player is forced to "remember" or perish. Studies conducted at the UCR Brain Game Center and elsewhere have shown the N-back increases working memory in trainees. See how far your memory takes you. Float like a flower, remember like a bee!
