Do We Have Good Memories in the North East?

Published 21st Jul 2015

Mecca Bingo has revealed a new game – aptly named “Mind Bingo” – that has been designed to put your memory to the test.

With a recent study revealing that millennials are far more likely to forget what day of the week it is than their elders, the bingo aficionados have decided its time the general public got some practice in!

With a choice of three glamorous backdrops, “Mind Bingo” is a fun, interactive game designed to test and train the public’s memory power by asking them to remember a series of bingo numbers.

Sounds simple, but it’s far more challenging than you might expect! In fact, the average person is expected to remember just seven numbers in a row.

To get you in the mood for Mind Bingo, here are five memory facts!

  1. The UK finished twelfth in last years World Memory Championships, which were hosted in Haikou, China.
  1. Chao Lu holds the world record for memorising Pi to the most places...67,890 of them.
