Pattern Memory: redraw what you saw

Also known as: repeat the pattern, copy the pattern, draw from memory, visual pattern memory

A colored pattern appears on a grid for a few seconds. Then the board is cleared, and you draw the pattern again: tap the cells, and if there are several colors, pick a color first. Then press “Check”. A game lasts two minutes. You can play 10 minutes a day without signing up.

What it trains

What Pattern Memory trains

The exercise works your visual memory: you need to remember which cells are filled and with what color, and reproduce the whole pattern. Unlike “Remember the Color”, here you draw the pattern on a blank board, and it’s only checked at the end.

Points for a round: correct cells minus extra ones. Once you sign up, your result is saved, and your account shows a chart.

Rules

How to play

  1. Memorize

    Press “Start”. A colored pattern shows on the grid for a few seconds.

  2. Draw

    The pattern disappears. Tap cells to fill them in. Tapping a cell again clears it.

  3. Colors

    If the pattern has several colors, a palette appears below the board: pick a color and fill in. The number keys 1–3 also select a color.

  4. Check

    Press “Check”. Extra cells are crossed out, and missed ones are outlined with a dashed line. After an exact copy, the next pattern is bigger.

  5. Game over

    The game ends after two minutes. Your score is the total points for all patterns.

Method

The idea behind the exercise

Reproducing a pattern from memory is a classic visual memory task: it’s used both in psychological tests and in grid-drawing lessons at school. The pattern is shown only briefly, so you have to remember the whole picture rather than copy it cell by cell.

A similar task where you find the cells right away is “Remember the Color”. Memory for order rather than for a picture is trained by “Corsi Blocks”.

Who it’s for

Which ages

Adults

Two minutes of visual memory with no words or numbers. Works well as a break between tasks.

Kids

Not part of the “Kids” collection. If the profile has a child’s age, the pattern is shown longer and the board is no bigger than 5×5. Suitable from age 6.

60+

Not part of the “60+” collection. You can draw without hurrying: the pattern is checked only when you press “Check”.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How are points counted?

Each correctly filled cell earns a point, and each extra or wrong-colored cell takes one away. A round never goes below zero.

Can I fix a cell?

Yes, before you check. Tap the cell again to clear it, or pick a different color and tap again.

Why did the board get smaller?

If a pattern has a lot of mistakes, the next one is easier. An exact copy raises the level again.

Do I need to sign up?

No, you can play 10 minutes a day right away. Free sign-up lets you keep playing, save your results, track your progress and unlock the daily workout.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, the game runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There’s nothing to install.
