Pi Day is best known for 3.14 - but it can also be a fun prompt to challenge your memory. Whether you try learning one extra digit or build a longer sequence using mnemonic tricks, the process can be a creative way to stay mentally engaged.

Inspired by memory champion Nelson Dellis, here are a few ways to get started:

✅ Start small - Begin with just one extra digit beyond 3.14.
✅ Make it memorable - Use phrases where word length matches each digit.
✅ Build associations - Turn numbers into words or images that are easier to recall.
✅ Create a story - A vivid mental narrative can help keep a sequence in order.

Challenges like this are a fun reminder that practicing recall can be engaging and rewarding. Keep the momentum going with Memory Recall and other interactive training games in Lumosity Premium.

Flashcards flash by; does this symbol match the one you saw two cards ago? Memory Match challenges you to recall and update the memory of what you just saw - targeting your Working Memory.

Fun Fact – Working Memory helps temporarily store and manipulate information. 

Whenever you meet someone new, try following these three steps:

1) Picture an image that reminds you of their name.  Maybe the name Lydia reminds you of “lit up”

2) Notice the first feature about the person that catches your attention. Perhaps you notice that Lydia wears glasses.

3) Link the image with that feature in as much detail as possible. Imagine Lydia’s glasses lighting up like a neon sign

At first, it may seem like a lot to think about when you’re in the middle of meeting somebody. You can practice this strategy while playing What’s My Name until you get better at it. This will also give you the chance to come up with visuals for lots of common and diverse names.

Note: Everyone's version of What's My Name is different. So the face above may not go with the name Lydia in your version.
