Visual Memory: how a round works

Read the aim of Visual Memory, then make your first move. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Practice with a purpose

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.

Aim for this result

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.

The playing sequence

  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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

A closer look at one example

If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Read the matching step again.

A useful caution

Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
