What it trains

What Remember the Color trains

The exercise works your visual memory for location: you remember places on the grid, not objects. In two seconds you take in a pattern of tiles and then rebuild it from memory.

The grid gradually grows from 3×3 to 7×7, so there are more tiles to remember. Once you sign up, every game is saved and you can see a chart in your account.

Visual memory

Hold on to a picture after it disappears.

Memory for location

Remember exactly where the tiles were, not just how many.

Capacity

As the grid grows, there are more tiles to remember.

Accuracy

One miss and the grid changes, so it’s better not to guess.

Rules

How to play

Start
Press “Start”. The game runs for two minutes, and the first grid is 3×3.
Remember
A few tiles light up in one color for two seconds. The number of tiles is shown at the top.
Tap
The tiles go dark. Tap all the ones that were lit, in any order. Each correct tile earns a point.
Miss
Tapped the wrong spot: you lose a point, we show where the tiles were and give you a new grid of the same size.
The grid grows
After you clear a few grids, the size goes up: 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, 6×6 and 7×7.

Method

What the exercise is based on

It’s built on a visual pattern memory task: which cells of a grid were filled in. Similar grid-pattern tasks are used to test visual memory separately from words and numbers. Here all the tiles light up at once, so what matters is the whole picture.

If you want a bigger challenge, try Corsi Blocks: there the blocks light up one by one, and you repeat not only the positions but also the order.

3×32 tilesThe first three grids, to get the hang of it.

5×55 tilesComes after the 4×4 grid with four tiles.

7×77 tilesThe largest grid; it doesn’t grow any further.

Who it’s for

Which ages

Adults

Two minutes of visual memory with no words or numbers. A good break between tasks.

Kids

It starts with a 3×3 grid and two tiles, and the rules make sense without reading. It’s in the “Kids” collection. Suitable from age 6. Kids set

60+

Not part of the “60+” collection: the tiles show for only two seconds, and the grid grows up to 7×7. Find the Pair or What’s Missing? are gentler places to start, and both are in the collection.
