Visual Memory: learn through an example

Something to practise

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.

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. Take a moment to understand the current position.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

How your actions work

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

Put the rules into context

If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.

Avoid this misunderstanding

Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
