Expert Tips
Chunk the digits: Group them into pairs — "47 29 16" is far easier to hold in mind than "472916".
Say it silently: Mouthing numbers as you see them activates phonological memory and boosts recall accuracy.
Enter fast: The 60-second clock keeps running during entry — faster recall means more rounds and a higher score.

GOAL

Memorise as many number sequences as you can in 60 seconds. Each correct answer scores points and eventually unlocks longer, faster sequences.

RULES

  • A number appears briefly — memorise it while the bar drains.
  • It disappears. Use the numpad to enter what you saw.
  • Tap ✓ to submit. Correct = points. Wrong = next round.
  • Every 3 correct answers adds one more digit (max 9).
  • Every 5 correct answers the display time shrinks slightly.

SCORING

Correct = digits × 100 pts. A 4-digit answer scores 400 pts; a 7-digit answer scores 700 pts.

Why this sharpens your mind

DIGIT SPAN

Digit span — how many items you can hold in working memory — is one of the strongest predictors of fluid intelligence. Training it transfers to reading, maths, and multi-step problem solving.
