How to Play

1. A pattern of highlighted cells is shown briefly, then hidden.

2. Tap exactly the cells that were highlighted — any order.

3. Each correct round increases pattern complexity. Build your streak to maximise points.

Expert Tips

Quadrant grouping: During the reveal, group highlighted cells by quadrant (top-left, bottom-right, etc.) rather than memorising individual positions.

No second-guessing: If you clearly remember a cell, tap it immediately — hesitation causes interference and overwrites your short-term memory.

Goal

A set of cells briefly light up — memorise their positions. After they hide, tap every cell that was lit from memory.

Mistakes

Wrong taps count as mistakes. Too many mistakes ends the round. The number of cells to remember increases each round.

Tips

Group the lit cells by region (top half, left column) rather than individual positions.
Trace a mental path connecting the lit cells in a single route.
If you lose track, use your first confident memories first — they are usually the strongest.

Why this sharpens your mind

Visuospatial Working Memory

Remembering exact grid positions is one of the purest tests of visuospatial working memory — the system that lets you mentally hold and manipulate spatial information.

Recall Accuracy

Distinguishing remembered positions from near-identical distractors trains precision memory — quality of recall, not just quantity.

Attentional Encoding

You must focus intensely during the brief reveal phase. This trains deliberate attentional encoding — the conscious effort to commit information to memory, a skill that improves all learning.
