What is the sequence memory test?
This test measures your spatial working memory — your ability to remember and reproduce a sequence of positions. A growing pattern of tiles lights up on a 3×3 grid, and you have to tap them back in the exact same order. Each level adds one more tile, so the demand on your memory increases steadily.
What is a good score?
Most people reach level 8 to 10. Reaching level 12 or higher puts you well above average, and very few players get past level 15 without chunking strategies.
Score distribution
Typical results cluster like this: level 1–5 (beginner), 6–9 (average), 10–13 (strong), 14+ (exceptional). Scores are stored only in your browser, so your "best level" follows you on this device.
How to improve
- Group the tiles into small visual chunks instead of memorizing each one separately.
- Trace the path with your eyes as it plays — movement is easier to recall than static dots.
- Stay relaxed; anxiety shrinks working-memory capacity.
FAQ
Is this the same as the Corsi block test?
It's based on the same idea — reproducing a spatial sequence — used in cognitive psychology to measure spatial span.
Does one mistake end the game?
Yes. A single wrong tile ends the round and records the level you reached.
