Why we picked this?

Memory Quest: Dungeon Adventure is simple enough for kids to pick up and play while having a layer of complexity for an older audience as well. The idea is to turn over tiles with a tap and match them with their associated objects to unlock treasures, open doors, mine for gems, and defeat enemies. For example, a tile with a sword will match with a cyclops and a tile with a pickaxe will match with gems. Experience points allow you to level up your character, and the gems allow you to purchase helpful items.

You want to improve your memory while having some fun.

You’re more of a true dungeon crawler fan. The gameplay will most likely feel shallow to you.
