Question 1

What is Color Memory?

Accepted Answer

Color Memory is a Simon Says-style game where you watch a sequence of colours light up, then repeat the sequence from memory. Each round adds one more colour to the sequence · the streak is the longest sequence you reproduce without a miss.

Question 2

How does my progress save in Color Memory?

Accepted Answer

Your best streak per (palette size, speed) combination is stored locally in your browser, so chasing your 24-colour record doesn't overwrite your 4-colour record. Sign in to sync the same scores across phone, tablet, and desktop.

Question 3

How many colors can the sequence use?

Accepted Answer

The game supports 4, 6, 9, 12, or 24 distinct colours. Start with 4 to learn the mechanics; scale up as the rhythm becomes second nature. At 24 colours, distinguishing similar hues (teal vs cyan, magenta vs pink) is half the challenge, and the audio cues become essential.

Question 4

Can I play without sound?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each colour also has a unique visual position so the game is fully playable in mute · but the audio cue adds a second memory channel (you can hum the melody back to yourself), so most players score higher with sound on. The shared PlayMemorize sound toggle controls it.

Question 5

Can I play with friends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick 2, 3, or 4 players from the setup screen and the game cycles through everyone in turn. The same sequence plays for all players · whoever extends the streak furthest wins. Pass-the-device hot-seat works on a single phone or tablet.

Question 6

Why does the speed setting matter so much?

Accepted Answer

Higher speed shortens the visual cue between colours, so you can't sub-vocalise the sequence (say the colour names out loud in your head) at the same pace. That forces a switch from verbal to purely visual recall · which is exactly the skill the game is training. Crank speed up once the palette feels comfortable.
