A practical guide to Visual Memory
Open Visual Memory, check the instructions and begin a round. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Use the example below to understand a decision.
A focus for your next round
Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Refer to the controls when needed.
The purpose of your moves
Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
How a round unfolds
- 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.
Input guidance
Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
One way to understand the rules
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. Check the stated objective.
Where a round can go wrong
Unlike Sequence Memory, this game does not require the original order. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
