Color Memory Free online game

What is it?

Color Memory is a memory game where you remember the order the buttons light up and repeat it. It works like the 1978 electronic toy "Simon", and how many rounds you last is your memory score.

Easy has four colors lighting up slowly, Normal has four colors, and Hard has six colors flashing fast. Your record is the round you reach.

How to play

1. Watch the order the colors light up
2. Press the buttons in the same order
3. Each round adds one more. How far can you go?

Playing on PC (keyboard · mouse)

On phones you tap the screen; on PC you can also use the mouse and the keys below.

Difficulty and rankings

There's a weekly ranking and an all-time ranking; the weekly one resets every Monday at midnight (Korea time). For details, see the Help.

Good to know on Hanpanmadang

• Your record is the number of rounds reached. The buttons light up for less time as the rounds go on.
• One mistake in the sequence ends the game on the spot.

Common mistakes

Trying to memorize the whole sequence from scratch every round.

The beginning is the same as last round. You only need to add the one new step at the end.

Missing the flashes as they speed up in longer rounds.

Each extra step shortens the flash a little (from 0.62 s down to 0.34 s on Easy). Remember the pitch of each button's sound along with its color.

Tips

• Instead of memorizing colors silently, say them in a quick chant like "red-yellow-blue-blue" — it sticks longer.
• Remember the sequence in chunks of three or four. Even a long sequence shrinks to a few chunks.
• In long rounds, stop finding each button by sight and remember the finger movements instead. Once your hand knows the sequence, you can press much faster.
• Each button has its own sound, so remembering the pitches helps too.
