"The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci" by Jonathan Spence is an interesting non-fiction account of the science of mnemonics, specifically as practiced by Matteo Ricci, a Jesuit missionary to China.
Very similar to your Game, Ricky.
This also leads to the book, "In the Palaces of Memory: How We Build the Worlds Inside Our Heads", by George Johnson, which I alluded to in another thread, about investigations on several fronts about how memories are formed.
