Recall the Game 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. "Recall" is a modified rendition of the cognitive "N-back" task set in a simple but challenging space-collection runner-style game. The goal of the player is to collect the right signal/fuel-cells to match "N-back" along a continuous sequence. As the game gets more challenging, the player is forced to perish or "recall". Studies conducted at the UCR Brain Game Center and elsewhere have shown the N-back increases working memory in trainees. And to date, there is no more fun version of N-back, than "Recall". Happy remembering!
