Visual Memory: instructions and practice

Bring this focus to a round

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.

What counts as success

Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

The order of play

  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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Put the rules into context

If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.

Check this before moving on

Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
