There is a game on Shockwave.com that is called InkLink. The basic premise is similar to Pictionary; that one person is the “drawer” and they have to draw the secret word and the other players must guess the secret word. It’s an interactive game and you play with people from all over the world. In the game, all guesses are public so you can see what your competitors are guessing. Oftentimes, seeing one of your competitor’s [wrong] guesses jogs your memory and leads you to think of the correct “secret” word.
The theory of transactive memory is based on the idea that individual members can serve as external memory aids to each other. This is present because even though you are not playing in teams, you benefit from the ideas and knowledge of your competitors when their incorrect guesses help you eliminate wrong answers and often lead you to the correct one.
