Memory Grid Challenge is a calm memory game and brain teaser. A grid of squares lights up. Watch which ones, then tap them back from memory.

There are two ways to play. Pattern has 8 levels, from a small 3 by 3 grid up to 6 by 6, and the lit set grows by one square each round. There is no clock on your taps. N-back has 5 levels, with one square lighting at a time. Tap Same place when a square lights where it did a few steps back.

Also called: memory game for adults, brain teaser game, pattern memory game, n-back game, memory grid challenge

How to play

  1. Open the game and pick Pattern or N-back. Levels open in order, and the game remembers where you got to.
  2. In Pattern, watch the squares light up. Then tap those same squares, in any order. A tap on the wrong square costs one of your 3 hearts.
  3. Find every lit square to clear the round. The next round adds one more square. Clear all the rounds to win the level.
  4. In N-back, one square lights at a time. Tap Same place if it lit in the same spot one step back. Later levels look two or three steps back.
  5. A wrong Same place, or a match you miss, costs a heart. Lose all 3 hearts and the level ends, and you can try again.
  6. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys to move and Enter to tap. Space or M is Same place, and Esc or P pauses. In Settings you can turn on extra time to look.
