How to play 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Read the objective before making your first input. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. The example below illustrates a decision.
Step by step
- Start a round and watch the highlighted cells.
- Wait until the board hides the pattern.
- Select the positions you remember; order does not matter.
- Complete the pattern to advance.
Controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful 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. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
