Memory Games

Games that train short-term memory — remember what you saw, recall it under pressure, and repeat as the challenge grows.

About memory games

Memory games train working memory — the short-term memory you use to hold a phone number or follow a recipe. The biggest group here is card matching: flip two cards at a time and remember where each picture hides, in themed versions like Pixel Car Memory Quest, Pokemon Memory Time and Halloween Faces Memory. Other games test different kinds of recall: Memory Tiles asks you to repeat which tiles lit up, Memorize and Repeat the Shape and Ice Cream Memory have you rebuild a picture, and City Ride keeps count of passengers getting on and off a bus.

Short, regular sessions work best, and using a strategy — checking cards in order rather than at random — improves results faster than raw effort. Our article on improving memory with memory games explains what these games do and don't train.
