How to play Visual Memory
Open Visual Memory, check the instructions and begin a round. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Look at what changes after your first action.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.
A useful example
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
