Memory Chain

About Memory Chain

Memory Chain is a memory game where you watch keys light up in order and then repeat the same sequence. The chain starts with three colors and grows by one after every correct step. There are four keys on screen, and each one differs in both color and shape: an orange circle, a blue square, a green triangle and a pink star.

Who is it for?

It's for anyone who wants to test their short-term memory. In an online room, it turns into a knockout race among friends, and the last one standing is the hero of the table. Because the colors also differ by shape, players who have trouble telling colors apart can play comfortably too.

How to play

Online room

1. Create a room, set the number of rounds and share the invite code with the group. Each player joins from their own device.
2. The keys light up one after another. When the sequence ends, tap them in the same order.
3. A color is added to the chain at every step. Everyone in the room sees the same sequence and plays at the same time.
4. Whoever taps a wrong key or runs out of time is out for that round and watches the rest. The round ends when one player is left.

Solo

Here too, the chain starts with three colors and keeps growing until you make a mistake. A wrong key or running out of time ends the round. At the end, you see the longest chain you reached and your record.

Scoring

• The last player standing gets 3 points; the one who went out just before gets 2, and the one before that gets 1.
• Players who go out on the same step share the same place and points; tapping faster doesn't change the order.
• If you don't get past the first chain of three colors, you score nothing.
• When all rounds are over, the player with the most points wins; a tie is broken by the total length of the chains completed across rounds.
• A chain can grow to at most 25 colors.

Tips

• Remember the colors in small groups rather than one by one: chunks of three like "circle, square, circle" stick better.
• Use position too: some people find it easier to count "top left, bottom right" than colors.
• Don't try to tap while the sequence is playing; just watch and repeat it in your head.
• Don't wait more than five seconds between two taps; if you do, you're out of the round.

Example situations

• The chain has reached six colors and three players are left: the next step may decide who wins the round.
• Two players made a mistake on the seventh step at the same time: they share the same place.
