A browser-based memory training minigame where you navigate through a forest by remembering the correct path during daylight and then walking it in darkness.

🎮 Play the game

Forest Hike is a brain training game designed to improve your memory and spatial awareness. The gameplay follows this pattern:

1. Daylight Phase: Study the forest map and memorize the dirt road path
2. Night Phase: Navigate the same map in darkness, following the path from memory
3. Checkpoint System: Reach checkpoints to briefly see the map again before continuing
4. Goal: Successfully navigate to the final tent without getting lost in the trees

• Study the Map: During daylight, carefully observe the dirt road winding through the forest
• Stay on Path: Walk only on the dirt road - stepping into trees will get you lost
• Use Checkpoints: Reach tent checkpoints to get another glimpse of the map
• Complete the Journey: Navigate all the way to the final destination
