How to Play Yaad Memory Gym
Simon, grid flash and number span. Grow your memory, beat your best.
Yaad Memory Gym is a memory session of three exercises. Simon lights up four coloured pads in a sequence you repeat. Grid Flash briefly shows lit tiles on a square grid that you tap from memory. Number Span shows a number for a moment and asks you to type it back. Each exercise grows one step harder after every success until you miss, and your span in each becomes your score.
The Daily Workout generates its sequences from today's date so every player faces the same test, while Free Train is random and repeatable. A separate Match Pairs mode is a classic card-flip game with several grid sizes and a best time per grid. Scores map to ranks from Warming Up to Mind Palace, and a ten-day trend line shows whether training is working.
Controls
- Simon: tap the pads in the order they lit, after playback ends.
- Grid Flash: tap every tile that was lit, in any order.
- Number Span: type the digits on the keypad, del or clr to fix, then confirm.
- Match Pairs: tap two cards to flip them; matches stay up. Mouse works on desktop.
How to play, step by step
- Pick Daily Workout or Free Train.
- Simon starts at three pads and adds one per success, speeding up.
- Grid Flash starts at three lit tiles on 3x3, growing to 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6.
- Number Span starts at three digits and adds one each round.
- One miss ends an exercise unless you take the ad extra life; the total becomes your Memory Score.

Tips to score higher
- Chunk Simon into groups of three or four colours as a rhythm.
- See the grid pattern as a shape like an L or a diagonal.
- Split numbers like a phone number and rehearse the first chunk while the second shows.
- Do not tap during Simon playback; taps are ignored and rushing breaks rhythm.
- Train your weakest exercise; the score is a sum, so one strength cannot carry two weaknesses.
- In Match Pairs flip cards in a fixed scan order so every seen card has a known spot.
Modes and challenges
- Daily Workout: date-seeded, same for everyone, once a day for the streak.
- Free Train: random sequences, unlimited.
- Match Pairs: grids from Easy 4x3 upward with best time per grid.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good Memory Score?
The average adult recalls around seven digits and a Simon sequence of six to eight, roughly 1500 to 2000 points, the Brain Athlete range. Mind Palace at 2700 needs near-cap spans in all three.
Is the Daily Workout really the same for everyone?
Yes. The generator is seeded from today's date, so the Simon sequence, lit tiles and numbers are identical for every player that day. Free Train uses a random seed.
How many coins can I earn per day?
Up to three runs per day pay coins, and only runs scoring 400 or more qualify. The amount is 20, 40 or 60 by score, and the result screen offers an ad to double it.
Does Match Pairs affect my Memory Score?
No. Match Pairs has its own best times per grid size. The Memory Score, rank, streak and trend are based only on the three-exercise workout.
