Read before your next round of Visual Memory
Take a moment with Visual Memory before moving to another game. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Use the example below to understand a decision. Use the opening round to become familiar with the layout. Look at what changes after your first action.
Practice beyond the first move
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Keep the objective visible.
What the game asks you to do
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
See the idea in action
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. Look for the relevant detail.
Keep this in mind
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
