Jay Cross, my husband William Sharkey, and I made this site together. It is a game to help you memorize the digits of pi. Once the page opens, hit 3 1 4 1 5 9 to get started and see how far you can get. Best with a numpad and if you are able to enjoy the background song. The background music has helped me memorize more digits.
The project is managed on Github:

We are open to collaborators / ideas / suggestions / bug reports.

I can barely get to 25 digits. Nooreen can do 100+ digits. I'm going to add a feature where you can just listen to the digit's of pi, without playing. I want to see if I can memorize pi by remembering the tune. I am considering re-mapping the digits. Currently they are chromatic, I am thinking that mapping to a major, minor or pentatonic scale would make it easier.
