You just saw it. Can you remember it? Follow a sequence of lights. Find the number that vanished. Remember which card was where. Memory Daily brings together 16 memory games with clear rules and different reasons to try again. CLASSICS WITH A CHALLENGE Repeat the lights in Sequence Echo, tap hidden numbers in order in Vanishing Numbers, find matching cards in Match Pairs, or rebuild a pattern in Flash Matrix. Never Repeat asks you to choose something you have not picked before. Ready for more? Try 2-back matching. SIX MORE WAYS TO PLAY Hold a sequence through a distraction. Track hidden cards and decide which to swap. Find objects from spoken or visual cues. Build vivid associations along a Memory Palace route. Plan a chain of linked cards. Study a scene and answer questions about its objects, colors and positions. The original Card Dispatch, Rolling Recall, Spot the Shift and Hidden Treasure are still here, along with Classic practice. A DAILY GOAL THAT FITS YOUR DAY Choose 1, 3 or 5 games. Favorite the games you enjoy and replace any selection before starting. Daily versions keep the challenge manageable. Completed games are saved, so you can finish your goal across several visits. An unfinished game starts again from the beginning. Once you start, today's goal stays fixed; later setting changes apply tomorrow.

Sound and visual-cue records are also separate. No account required. Progress is stored on your device. Gameplay works offline; ads, purchases and some services need an internet connection. Includes ads and an optional one-time purchase to remove them. Restore Purchases is available in the app.

Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chimp Test holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mind Games has 12K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of Mind Games's written reviews are positive against 71% of Chimp Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mind Games ships an update every 3 weeks, Chimp Test every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
