Colour Memory is a simple but gripping memory game. Four coloured pads light up one after another in a sequence. Your job is to watch closely and tap them back in exactly the same order.
Each round adds one more colour to the sequence, so it starts easy and gets harder very quickly. Reach round 10 and it counts as a win. It is a great quick workout for your focus and short-term memory, and a fun game to take turns on with family and friends to see who remembers the longest sequence.
