The essentials of playing Visual Memory

Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Visual Memory. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Practice with a purpose

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

The goal to keep in mind

Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.

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.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.

A closer look at one 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. Verify the rule before continuing.

Pay attention to this rule

Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
