Sequence is a brain training game where colored cells light up on a grid — memorize the pattern, then reproduce it. Each round adds more cells, progressively testing your visual memory and concentration until your brain reaches its limit. 4 MINI GAMES, ONE BRAIN WORKOUT Sequence includes 4 different mini games — including a Simon-inspired color sequence challenge — so your brain never gets used to the same routine. Each game targets a different cognitive skill for a complete mental workout. MAIN FEATURES • Memory Training: Strengthen short-term memory and working memory with increasingly complex color patterns and 4 varied mini games. • Earn Neurons: Complete challenges to earn virtual currency and unlock new themes and bonuses. • For All Ages: Great for kids, adults, and seniors.
