Sequence Memory — how to play, illustrated

The idea

What is Sequence Memory?

Watch the grid on the big screen light up one cell at a time, then tap the same cells in the same order on your phone. Every round adds one more step to the sequence, and it's always the same sequence plus one, so the challenge is keeping it all in your head. You score 10 points for every step you get right from the start, which means even a slip near the end still pays off.

Step by step

How to play Sequence Memory

  1. The host picks the grid size (3×3, 4×4 or 6×6) and how many rounds to play.

  2. Cells on the big screen light up one at a time. Watch the order carefully.

  3. Tap the same cells in the same order on your phone.

  4. You get 10 points for each correct step from the start, until your first mistake.

  5. Each round adds one more step. The highest total after the last round wins.

How many players?

Everyone repeats the sequence on their own phone at the same time, so it's just as fun alone as with a big group.

Tips & tricks

How to win at Sequence Memory

  • Say the positions out loud in your head, like "top left, middle, bottom right".

  • Group the sequence into chunks of three. It's much easier to remember.

  • Only the last step is new each round. Focus on it while you replay the rest.

  • The time to answer grows every round, so there's no need to rush.

  • 3×3 is perfect for kids. 6×6 is brutal, so try it once everyone has warmed up.
