Pattern Memory
A grid of cells lights up in a pattern - you have to remember which ones and tap them back. Each level adds more cells and shortens the flash time. Tests visual memory and gets genuinely difficult after level 5 or so.
Watch. Remember. Repeat.
A pattern flashes on the 6 × 6 grid. Memorise which cells lit up, then tap them before time runs out.
How to use
- Pick a grid size: Easy (5x5), Medium (6x6), or Hard (7x7).
- Hit Start. A pattern of lit cells flashes briefly on the grid.
- Watch carefully. The cells go dark and you have a few seconds to tap the ones that were lit.
- Correct? Next level adds more cells and shortens the flash. How far can you go?

Pattern Memory shows you a grid that lights up in a specific sequence, then blanks out and asks you to reproduce the pattern. Get it right and the next level adds another element to remember. Miss a cell and the round ends. It starts simple but within a few levels the patterns become challenging enough that you have to be deliberate about how you memorize them.
Visual pattern memory is one of the core components of working memory. People who do well at this tend to chunk the pattern into regions rather than trying to remember individual cells. Recognizing a cluster of lit cells as an L-shape or a diagonal line is far more efficient than remembering each cell's coordinates separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the difficulty scale?
Each level adds more cells to the pattern or shows the pattern for a shorter time. Early levels are forgiving but difficulty ramps up quickly.
Is there a time limit to reproduce the pattern?
There is no strict time limit for recall. You can take as long as you need to mark your pattern after the display phase ends.
How many levels are there?
The game runs indefinitely, getting progressively harder until you make a mistake. Your highest level reached is your score.
Can I replay the pattern before answering?
No. The pattern is shown once and then hidden. This is the core challenge of the game.
