Grid Memory — a free visual pattern memory game

In Grid Memory some cells on a grid light up for a moment, then the grid goes blank. Tap every cell that was lit. Each round lights one more cell, and the grid itself grows as the pattern gets bigger.

It trains the visual-spatial memory you use to remember where things are — a parking spot, a layout, a diagram.

How to play

  1. Round one lights 3 cells on a 3×3 grid.
  2. The pattern shows for about one second at first (0.65 seconds plus 0.13 seconds per lit cell), then the grid goes blank.
  3. Tap the cells that were lit, in any order.
  4. Every lit cell found: the next round lights one more cell. The grid grows to 4×4 at 5 cells and 5×5 at 8 cells.
  5. Tap a cell that was not lit and the run ends.

How the score works

Your score is the largest pattern you reproduced completely. Missing the first 3-cell pattern scores 0.

What it trains

Grid Memory questions

Does the order I tap the cells matter?
No. Grid Memory only checks which cells you tap, not the order. (The Sequence game is the one where order matters.)
How big does the grid get?
It starts at 3×3, becomes 4×4 when 5 cells light up, and 5×5 from 8 cells.
