How does this game work?
This game descends from electronic memory games that first appeared in the 1970s: you watch the screen flash a sequence of colors, then repeat it back exactly. Every round you clear adds one more color to the sequence, so the difficulty keeps climbing.
Why memory games are good for your brain
Remembering and reproducing a sequence exercises both short-term memory and focus at the same time β a classic form of brain training. Playing regularly, at any age, can help you hold onto momentary details a little better.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I make a mistake?
Clicking the wrong color ends the game and records how many rounds you cleared. Press "Start Game" to try again.
The sequence plays too fast.
The playback speed picks up gradually as the rounds go on. It plays slowly at the start, so focus on the screen and memorize the order of colors.
