Five ways to think

Memory Grid

A pattern flashes on the board. Hold it, then tap it back. Position, not order.

Reaction

The pad turns green after an unpredictable pause. Tap it fast — and not a moment early, because jumping the gun costs you.

Sequence

Pads light one at a time. Repeat the order. Miss one and the round ends there, so the steps you got right still count.

Attention

The board fills with symbols. Find every match before the clock runs out. Nothing is hidden — what is scarce is time.

Logic

Four terms of a sequence and a missing fifth. Work out the rule, pick what follows.

It gets harder as you do

Every mode carries its own level. Play well and it tightens the clock, widens the board and asks for more. Play badly and it eases off. You never sit at a difficulty you did not earn.

The daily challenge is the same for everybody, seeded from the date — same board, same order, same clock. Come back tomorrow for a different one.

What it does not do

A minute is enough.

Free, offline, and about as long as the kettle takes.
