How to use it

  1. 1

    Watch and listen

    The pads flash with a tone in a set order. Round one is a single pad; each round adds one.

  2. 2

    Repeat the sequence

    Click the pads back in the same order. The colour and the tone both help you remember.

  3. 3

    Go as long as you can

    One wrong pad ends the game. Your score is the longest sequence you repeated.

Frequently asked questions

How far can people get?
Reaching a sequence in the high teens is a strong run, and most people break somewhere between rounds eight and fifteen. Using the tone as well as the colour helps, because two cues are easier to recall than one.
Can I turn the sound off?
Yes. There is a mute control, and the game still works on colour alone. Browsers also keep audio silent until you interact with the page, so the first tap is what switches the sound on.
What is the trick to remembering?
Hum or sub-vocalise the tones, and give the sequence a rhythm so it plays back like a little tune. Chunking the pattern into groups of three or four also makes a long sequence far easier to hold.
