Brain Training: How to Play the Memory, Focus and Speed Games

What is it?

Brain Training has three quick games that each take a minute or two. 🧠 Memory asks you to remember lit squares, 🎯 Focus asks you to tap the ink colour of a word (not the word itself), and ⚡ Speed is a 60-second sprint of sums. Your best scores are saved.

Who is it for?

Adults who want a short daily mental workout, students warming up before study, older people keeping sharp, and families comparing scores.

How to use it

  1. Pick a game: 🧠 Memory, 🎯 Focus or ⚡ Speed, read the short rules and press Start.
  2. Memory: watch “Remember these 3 squares…”, then tap them. You have three lives (❤️); the count of Squares grows each round.
  3. Focus: in 30 seconds tap the colour of the ink as many times as you can.
  4. Speed: in 60 seconds pick the right answer to each sum.
  5. Your Memory best, Focus best and Speed best appear at the bottom. Press Play again to retry.

How scoring works

  • Speed: each right answer scores the current level (1 to 10); three right in a row move you up a level.
  • Focus is based on the Stroop effect: reading is automatic, so naming the ink of “RED” printed in blue is slow. Look at the colour, not the letters.
  • On a keyboard, keys 1–4 answer in Focus and Speed.
  • A few minutes a day beats one long session. These games train the skills they practise; they are not a medical test.

Errors and how to fix them

  • “Not that one. 2 lives left.”: in Memory, that square was not lit; the round repeats.
  • “Game over: you remembered 6 squares.”: all three lives are used.
  • A wrong answer in Speed shows the right one and “(−3 seconds)”: a mistake costs time and drops one level.
  • Focus score lower than right answers: the score is right minus wrong, so random tapping does not pay.
  • My game, best time or score has gone: it is kept only in this browser on this device. Private windows, clearing site data, or another browser or phone start fresh.
