Visual Memory: rules and examples
Choose a round of Visual Memory and settle into its rules. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Look at what changes after your first action. Check the rule that explains your first action. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.
An idea for your next attempt
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Keep the objective visible.
What you are aiming for
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
From the start of a round
- 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.
Using the playing area
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
Put the rules into context
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.
Keep this in mind
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.
