Pattern Recall Test
Test your visual pattern memory by studying abstract grid designs, then recreating them from memory. Each level increases the number of tiles to remember.

How It Works
- Click Start to begin.
- A pattern appears on the grid briefly.
- Recreate the pattern by clicking tiles to toggle them on/off.
- Click Submit when you think you've matched the pattern.
- Exact match required — one wrong tile ends the test.
- Your score is the highest level reached.
Tip: Look for shapes or clusters in the pattern rather than trying to memorize individual tile positions. Visual chunking can help you recall more complex patterns.

These are real attempts in a browser — every device, every connection, first tries included. Published research figures are usually collected on dedicated hardware with practiced participants under controlled conditions, so they typically run higher than what this table shows. Both are useful, and they answer different questions: a score can sit well behind the research figure and still be mid-pack among people actually taking the test here.
