How to play Visual Memory
Visual Memory gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Start a round and watch the highlighted cells.
- Wait until the board hides the pattern.
- Select the positions you remember; order does not matter.
- Complete the pattern to advance.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
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. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
