Understand the basics of Visual Memory

Take a closer look while playing

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.

What the game asks you to do

Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

How a round unfolds

  1. Start a round and watch the highlighted cells.
  2. Wait until the board hides the pattern.
  3. Select the positions you remember; order does not matter.
  4. Complete the pattern to advance.

The controls to know

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

A useful example

If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Look for the relevant detail.

Keep this in mind

Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
