What is Memory Speed?

Observe a sequence of flashing tile patterns and replicate them exactly, with increasing length and speed as the level progresses.

How to Play

You are presented with a grid of tiles. The game flashes a sequence of tiles. Your goal is to repeat the pattern exactly. Interaction is "Tap-to-Repeat." The sequence grows by one step each round (N+1). You have a "Recall Timer." If you tap the wrong tile or run out of time, the game ends. Difficulty scales by introducing larger grids (3×3→4×4) and faster flash rates.

Pro Tips

Achieving "Eidetic" status depends on "Pattern Chunking." Do not remember individual tiles. Group them into "Shapes" or "Vectors" (e.g., "Triangle," "L-Shape," "Zig-Zag"). A pro strategy is "Audio-Visual Association"—assign a mental sound or number to each grid quadrant to create a "Multi-Sensory Anchor," significantly extending your retention span beyond the average 7-item limit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the pattern reset every round?

Yes. Unlike "Simon," where the pattern builds on the previous one, Memory Speed often generates a fresh random sequence each level, preventing long-term memorization.

Is there a limit to the speed?

Yes. At higher levels, the tiles flash almost subliminally. You must rely on "After-Image" retention (Iconic Memory) rather than conscious processing.
