Rules, controls and help for Visual Memory
Start Visual Memory by looking at the playing area and its controls. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Give this approach a try
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
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.
Choosing and moving on screen
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Read the example below alongside these instructions.
See the idea in action
If the four corner squares were shown, select those four corners in any order. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
A common point of confusion
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. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
