Memory League
Memory League is a free online platform for memory training and competition. You memorize numbers, words, images, cards or names against the clock, then recall them, either on your own or head to head against a real opponent.
It is the easiest way to try the techniques memory athletes use, and to see how you compare.
How a match works
Whichever discipline you choose, a match has the same three steps. The pictures show the Images game.
- Step 1
Pick a discipline
Log in, choose Train or Compete, then the discipline.
- Step 2
Memorize
Study the pictures, words, numbers, cards or names as fast as you can. In Images you see the pictures a few at a time, and get up to a minute.
Memorizing Images. The three big pictures are the group you are on, with the pictures you have seen stacked on the left and the rest on the right. The arrow keys or the buttons move you along, and Finished stops the clock early. - Step 3
Recall
Put them back in order from memory. In Images you click a box, then the picture that goes there. Each picture in the right place scores a point, and score counts before time. In Compete, your score and time are set against your opponent's.
Recalling Images. Click an empty box, then a picture in the row below to move it there, and click a placed picture to send it back. The picture under the mouse shows large on the right.The results, with the order you memorized above the order you recalled. The Earth and a cupcake swapped places, so this game scores 8.
