What is a good sequence memory score?

Most people complete somewhere around 7 to 10 levels. Twelve or more is a strong result, and getting past 15 usually takes a deliberate technique.

Is this the same as the Simon game?

Same idea — repeat a growing sequence of lights — but on a grid of nine tiles instead of four coloured buttons, which makes long sequences much harder to hold.

Does the sequence change every level?

No. Each level keeps the exact sequence you just repeated and adds one new step to the end.

What does the sequence memory test measure?

Visuospatial working memory: how much information about order and position you can hold and replay. It is closely related to the Corsi block-tapping test used in psychology.

Is the sequence memory test free?

Yes — it runs in your browser with no download and no account.

About Sequence Memory Test

The sequence memory test measures how long a pattern you can hold and repeat. Tiles on a 3×3 grid light up one after another; when they stop, tap the same tiles in the same order. Each level replays the entire sequence with one new step on the end, so the pattern only ever grows. The first wrong tile ends the test.

It is a close cousin of the Corsi block-tapping task that psychologists use to measure visuospatial working memory, and of the classic Simon electronic toy. Your score is the number of levels you completed — the length of the longest sequence you repeated perfectly.

How to Play Sequence Memory Test

1Press Start and watch: one tile lights up.
2When the playback ends, tap the same tile.
3Each level replays the whole sequence from the start, plus one more step. Repeat all of it.
4Tap a wrong tile and the test ends.
5Your score is the number of levels you completed.

Sequence memory scores

Levels completed	Rating
Under 6	Warming up
6 – 8	Average
9 – 11	Good
12 – 15	Great
16+	Exceptional

Approximate ranges — technique matters more than it seems, so scores rise quickly with practice.

Tips & Strategy

Name the tiles — 1 to 9, or 'top-left', 'centre' — and rehearse the list as it plays.
Watch the shape the sequence draws across the grid. Spatial patterns stick better than lists.
Group the sequence into chunks of three, like a phone number.
Don't rush the input. Only the order matters, so a steady pace beats a fast mistake.
