About Pattern Recall
A handful of tiles light up for a moment, then everything goes dark and it is over to you. Tap exactly those tiles, nothing else. Clear a level and the grid grows while the pattern gains another tile, so what begins as a doddle turns into a real test of how much your short-term memory can actually hold. Three lives, and a wrong tap costs one.
How to Play
Watch the tiles that flash, then tap them all back from memory. Tap only the highlighted ones — a wrong tap costs a life. Every level adds tiles and grows the grid. Three lives and you're out.
💡 Tips & Strategy
Don't memorise a list of tiles — memorise a shape. Three cells in a line is a bar, four around a gap is a ring, two plus two on opposite corners is a diagonal. Your visual memory holds one shape far more reliably than it holds five separate positions.
Anchor to landmarks. Corners, the centre and the edges are easy reference points, so store each lit tile as an offset from the nearest one rather than as an abstract coordinate. On the bigger grids, split the pattern into two halves and hold each as its own small shape.
Rehearse in the gap. The moment the tiles go dark, run the shape through your head once before you start tapping — the act of recalling it immediately is what fixes it. And tap in a fixed order, say top-left to bottom-right, so you never double-tap a tile or lose count of how many you have left.
Don't look away, don't talk, and don't try to be fast during the flash. Accuracy is the only thing costing you lives; the clock is not the enemy here, interference is.
