Visual Memory: a guide for your next round
Start Visual Memory by looking at the playing area and its controls. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Make your first input carefully and watch the result. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Build familiarity through play
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Making your moves
- 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.
How your actions work
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
One way to understand the rules
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. Verify the rule before continuing.
Check this before moving on
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
