Visual Memory: a guide for your next round

Practice beyond the first move

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.

What the game asks you to do

Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Making selections and moves

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

One way to understand the rules

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. Keep the controls nearby.

Watch out for this

Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Compare the situation with the worked example. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
