Learn the rules of Visual Memory

One thing to notice as you play
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Refer to the controls when needed.
What you are aiming for
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
Work through the instructions
- 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 to use the controls
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
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. Look for the relevant detail.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
