Rules of this memory Game

You have the choice between 2 different modes:

GAME mode

• To start the game, click on "PLAY".
• A grid with black squares will appear and the countdown will begin.
• You need to memorize the positions of the black squares on the grid. If you want to give your answer before the countdown ends, click on the "GIVE MY ANSWER" button provided for this purpose.
• When the time is up, an empty grid will be displayed. Simply click on the empty squares of the grid to place the black squares. To help you, a black square counter is displayed.
• When you are done, click on "CHECK MY ANSWER".
• The initial grid and your answer grid will be displayed side by side, allowing you to see any mistakes you may have made.
• If you click on "START OVER," a new grid will appear, and a new game will begin. The positioning of the black squares on the grid is random, so each game will be different, allowing you to play endlessly without getting bored!

CHALLENGE mode

In CHALLENGE mode, the principle is the same as in GAME mode. The difference is that the levels are predefined, you start at level 1, and if you give the correct answer, you move on to level 2, and so on... As soon as you make a mistake, you go back to the first level. To win, you must succeed in all the levels!

In this mode only, the highest level you have reached is recorded using cookies, allowing you to track your progress.

We recommend disabling the countdown timer because the last levels are very difficult!
