How to play Pattern Pulse

Watch the board: a handful of cells pulse bright, then the grid goes dark. Now rebuild the pattern — tap every cell that was lit, and only those. Get it right and the next level adds more cells with less viewing time; a miss ends the run. Score scales with level and streak, and your best is saved. It’s a pure visual working-memory workout — the same skill you use to remember where you parked — in a free browser game at Skorven.

Tips & strategy

• Chunk the pattern into shapes — an L here, a pair there — instead of memorizing loose cells.
• Anchor to the grid’s landmarks: corners, center, and edges are easier to recall than floating middles.
• Recreate the pattern in reading order, left-to-right and top-to-bottom, so you never lose your place.
