How to Play the Simon Memory Game
Simon is a timeless electronic memory challenge. Your job is simple: watch the color pattern, then repeat it. Every correct round adds another color, making the sequence longer and your task harder.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Press Restart to begin a new game.
- Observe the flashing pad (and its tone). That’s step 1.
- Click or tap the same pad.
- Simon now plays the previous sequence plus one extra color.
- Repeat the whole sequence in order. Keep going until you slip up!
Tips for a Higher Score
- Chunk the pattern: break long sequences into groups of two or three colors.
- Use rhythm: hum the tones or tap your foot-it reinforces auditory memory.
- Practice daily: even five minutes a day noticeably boosts working memory capacity.
Why Simon Is Great for Your Brain
Scientific studies show that sequence-recall games stimulate the prefrontal cortex, improving short-term memory, attention span, and pattern-recognition skills. That’s why educators often recommend Simon-style activities for both kids and seniors.
