The Visual Memory playbook
Visual Memory gives you a focused activity to play in your browser. 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. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Give this approach a try
Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round. Make the next step deliberately.
What you are aiming for
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.
The order of play
- 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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Follow the example
If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.
An important reminder
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
