How to play Visual Memory
Start Visual Memory by looking at the playing area and its controls. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the solo mode shown on the page. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Notice the feedback after each input.
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. Keep the controls in easy reach.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. A new-round button replaces the current round.
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. Keep the game’s format in mind.
Watch out for this
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
