How is this different from a sequence memory test?

A sequence test shows tiles one at a time and requires the exact order. A visual memory test flashes the tiles all at once and only asks you to find their positions, so order does not matter.

How many lives do I have?

Three. Each tile you click that was not part of the pattern costs one life, and the run ends when all three are gone.

Does the grid get bigger?

Yes. The grid starts at three by three and grows toward five by five as you climb levels, while the number of tiles to remember also increases each round.

Is the pattern stored anywhere?

No. Each level is generated randomly in your browser and nothing is uploaded; your progress resets when you reload.

What is the Visual Memory Test?

Free visual memory test. A set of tiles flashes white on a grid; click every one that lit up. Each level adds a tile and the grid grows. See how many positions you can hold in visual memory. Runs entirely in your browser. It runs free in your browser on Gera Tools, with nothing uploaded.

The Visual Memory Test measures how many tile positions you can hold in your mind at once. A set of tiles flashes white on a grid; once they fade, you click every one that lit up. Each level adds another tile and the grid gradually grows.

How it works

At the start of each level several tiles flash white simultaneously. After a short display window they fade back to the board, and you click the tiles you remember lighting up. Order does not matter here — you simply need to find them all. Clear a level and the next adds a tile (and eventually a larger grid); click a tile that was not in the pattern and you lose one of your three lives.

What it tests

This is a test of visuospatial working memory — your ability to retain the layout of several items seen at the same moment. It differs from a sequence test, which shows tiles one by one and demands the exact order. Here everything appears at once, so you are storing a snapshot rather than a path.

Tips

Try to take in the whole board as a single image rather than memorising tiles one by one, and look for shapes or clusters the lit tiles form. Staying calm on the larger grids matters most — that is where a hurried guess usually costs a life.
