Visual Memory: how a round works

Something to practise

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

The purpose of your moves

Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Making your moves

  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.

Using the playing area

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

Work through an example

If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
