A practical guide to Visual Memory

Visual Memory gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Practice with a purpose

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you are aiming for

Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Input guidance

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

A closer look at one example

If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

Where a round can go wrong

Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
