Shopping List — free online memory game
About this game
The items are read out loud, one at a time — no writing them down. Then you are in the store: tap only what was on your list. Every extra item costs a life, and the list keeps growing.
How to play Shopping List
- 1Items are read off your list one at a time.
- 2At the store, tap only what's on your list — extras cost a life.
- 3Each level adds an item. 3 misses end the run.
What Shopping List trains
This is list memory with real-world rules: the list is heard once (no re-reading), the aisles present distractors, and errors cost lives. It trains exactly the everyday skill of leaving a store with what you came for — built on the same story-linking technique memory athletes use for word lists.
Category: Everyday memory · Scoring: Items in items
Tip: Link the items into a story as they're read — a story list survives a busy aisle.
How can I remember a shopping list without writing it?
Link the items into a story as they are read — milk pours over the bread, the bread becomes a boat on the eggs. One weird narrative is easier to carry than seven separate items, which is why this game grows the list every round.
What is a good Shopping List score?
Reaching level 8–10 (a list of 8–10 items held across a full shop) is a strong result. If you tap extras late in the run, your story is fading — make the links more vivid and see the score climb.
Is Shopping List free?
Yes — Shopping List is completely free, with no account, no signup and no downloads. Scores are saved privately in your browser, and you can install MemoryGames as an app from your browser menu if you want it on your home screen.
