Memory Test Games

How many digits can you actually hold in your head? The classic answer is 7±2 — these games let you test it. Sequences, positions, patterns and numbers, each with a hard score at the end that tells you exactly where you stand. Fair warning: they start easy on purpose.

Questions

What is a normal short-term memory score?

Most people hold 5 to 9 items in short-term memory (the classic “seven plus or minus two”). The number games here will find your personal limit in about two minutes.

Do memory games improve memory?

They reliably improve at the game itself; broader transfer is debated in research. Either way, they are a fun benchmark — and the scores are very shareable.
