REMEMBER. MERGE. WIN. Memorix is a fast, addictive memory game built around one simple idea — the board flashes once, then it all goes dark. You have 120 seconds to match every pair from memory. No tutorials. No fluff. Just you, the clock, and a grid that doesn't forgive. HOW IT WORKS • A 5×6 grid of color-coded blocks flashes for 2.5 seconds • Memorize every position, every color • Drag blocks together to merge matching pairs • Wrong move? –50 points, –5 seconds, blocks re-hide • Need a hint? Tap to peek — but it costs you precious time CHAIN COMBOS Back-to-back correct merges build a multiplier — up to 5×. One mistake resets the chain. Risk it for the points. RACE THE CLOCK • Correct merge: +3 seconds • Wrong merge: –5 seconds • Peek: –2 seconds, –50 points Every move is a tradeoff. Every second matters. GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Every game is logged. Compete with players worldwide. Your best run is your reputation. Final score = game score + (time left × 50). WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • Pick-up-and-play sessions under 2 minutes • A real test of working memory, not just reflexes • Clean, dark, distraction-free design • No energy timers, no paywalls, no tricks • Plays offline — your scores sync when you're back online Whether you're killing time on the train or training your brain between meetings, Memorix is the memory game that respects your time. Download. Memorize. Climb the boards.
