Simon Says
Watch the animals flash, then tap them back in order. How long a sequence can you remember?
Simon Says 🐾
Watch the animals. Tap them back in order.
How to play
- Watch the sequence of animals that light up, one at a time.
- When the sequence ends, repeat it back by tapping each animal in the same order.
- After each successful round, one more animal is added to the sequence.
- Make a mistake and the game ends. Try to beat your personal best.
Tips
- Say each animal's name quietly as it lights up — putting words to the sequence helps it stick in memory.
- Don't rush. Take a breath before you start tapping; the game gives you plenty of time.
- For longer sequences, try chunking — memorise the first three animals as a group, then the next three, rather than holding the whole thing at once.
About this game
Simon Says is our take on the electronic memory game made famous by the "Simon" toy created by Ralph Baer and Howard Morrison in 1978. It became one of the most popular toys of the late 1970s and remains a classic. The core mechanic — watch a growing sequence of lights and sounds, then repeat it back — is a simple but highly effective test of working memory and concentration. Studies have linked regular pattern-repetition games to improvements in attention span and short-term recall in children. We have replaced the original four colour buttons with a cast of friendly illustrated animals, and tuned the pacing to feel calm rather than frantic.
