Token Search
Token Search is a self-ordered spatial search: one token hides among scattered boxes, and you open boxes until you find it — but a box that has already yielded a token never hides another, and re-checking a box you already searched this hunt costs a life. The paradigm is a classic spatial working-memory test; one preparation source lists it in the Arctic Shores suite.
