There's a tiny distance between this game and actual mnemonic techniques used by world champion memory athletes. Method of loci capitalizes on the fact that the brain stores memories using a map like structure, as a result of grid cells.
If you can, get a cabby in London with "The Knowledge" to do a session. Such cabbies are among elite humans, of a handful of disciplines known to alter the structure of their brains in a predictable way. Like Shaolin monks, Australian aboriginal shamans, and others, they've got an amazing superpower.
Neat game, and fascinating peripheral subjects, thanks!
Fascinating, thanks! I knew of memory palaces but I hadn't considered taxi drivers! Can't wait to tell my dad someone on the internet said he's a genius :P
