How to play Visual Memory
Read the aim of Visual Memory, then make your first move. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
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. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Watch out for this
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
