How to play Visual Memory
Choose a round of Visual Memory and settle into its rules. Select every square that was shown. Selecting an unshown square ends the session. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Keep the objective visible.
