Memorize Random Symbols Game

This game tests how well you remember where things are. Study a grid of random symbols, then put each symbol back in its cell from memory. Start with 25 symbols in a 5 × 5 grid, and move up to 100 in a 10 × 10 grid when you want more of a challenge.

Settings

Off means no time limit. A timer still counts up so you can see how long you took.

How to Play

  1. Choose a grid size. You can also set time limits for memorizing and recalling, or leave them off.
  2. Press Start Game and study the grid. Press Recall when you're ready, or wait for the time to run out.
  3. Select a cell, then pick its symbol from the palette. After each pick the palette moves on to the next cell, so you can fill the grid row by row.
  4. Press Check Answers to see your score and the grid with the right symbol in every cell.

You can also play with a keyboard. The arrow keys move around the grid and the palette, Enter opens the palette and picks a symbol, Delete clears a cell, and Escape closes the palette.

Tips

Turn each symbol into a picture and place it along a route you know well, such as the rooms of your home. That's the memory palace technique. For more ways to train, see our free memory games.
