How to play
Watch the stream. Catch the repeat.
Letters appear one at a time. Press Match whenever the letter on screen is the same as the one a fixed number of steps earlier. Nothing stays on screen, so you have to keep the last few letters in mind and update them on every step.
- 1HoldKeep the last few letters in order.
- 2CompareCheck the new letter against the one n steps back.
- 3RespondPress Match, tap the button, or press the space bar.
Some letters repeat at the wrong distance on purpose. A letter you simply recognise is not automatically a match — only the exact distance counts.

Stream held.
You tracked the repeats without chasing every familiar letter.
How to play
Find every exact match.
Keep the target symbol in mind, scan the board, and select every symbol that matches both its shape and internal mark.
- 1Check the targetNotice its outside shape and inside mark.
- 2Scan the boardIgnore symbols that differ by even one detail.
- 3Find them allThe round ends when every match is found.

Shape and internal mark must both match.
Exercise complete
Targets found.
You kept the right detail in focus.
How to play
Name the outline. Ignore the word.
Each trial prints a shape word inside an outline shape. Choose the outline you can see, not the shape the word names. Reading happens before you decide, so the word will keep offering you the wrong answer.
- 1LookA shape word sits inside an outline.
- 2SuppressOn conflict trials the word is never the answer.
- 3AnswerTap a button or press its number key.
Nothing in this game depends on colour. It is the colour-free counterpart to theStroop Test, built so the same conflict is available to players who cannot discriminate colours.
Get ready
3Name the outline shape, not the word inside it.Choose the

Word suppressed.
You named the outline while the word pulled the other way.
How much slower your correct conflict answers were than your correct matching ones. Reported as feedback; it does not affect your score.
How to play
Find the exact twin.
Compare the reference with every option. The frame, centre, arm directions and end marks must all be identical.
- 1FrameCheck the circle, diamond or hexagon.
- 2CentreMatch the dot, ring or cross.
- 3ArmsConfirm every direction and terminal mark.
Eyes ready
3Your first reference is coming up.Reference

Orientation must match too.Every arm and mark lined up.
Exercise complete
Sharp matching.
You held the whole symbol together while the clock kept moving.
How to play
Build the line from low to high.
Scan the whole board, find the smallest value, then keep selecting the next smallest until every tile is ordered.
- 1ScanInclude minus signs and decimal places.
- 2SelectChoose the lowest remaining value.
- 3ContinueClear the complete board before time expires.

Order under pressure.
You kept signs and decimal places aligned while the clock moved.
How to play
Work out what comes next.
Study five visual steps, identify the rule connecting them, and choose the only option that continues it correctly.
- 1CompareCheck shape, mark, amount and direction.
- 2Find the ruleLook for a repeat, cycle or steady change.
- 3Continue itChoose one of four possible next steps.

How to play
Keep the calculations moving.
Solve as many short calculations as you can in 60 seconds. Accuracy carries most of the score, so choose quickly—but do not guess.

How to play
Put the signs back.
Every equation is missing its operators. Fill each gap so the values reach the target exactly, using normal multiplication and division precedence.
- 1Select a gapChoose the position you want to fill.

How to play
Turn it. Don’t flip it.
Study the reference shape and choose the exact same arrangement after it has been rotated. Reflections and moved blocks do not count.
- 1TraceNotice the arms, corners and short edges.
- 2RotateTurn the whole outline in your mind.
- 3CheckReject anything mirrored or rearranged.

How to play
Fold flat. Fill six faces.
Choose the one arrangement whose six connected squares can fold onto a cube without two squares trying to occupy the same face.
- 1AnchorTreat one square as the cube’s front face.
- 2FoldTurn each neighbour through a right angle.
- 3CheckAll six faces must be covered exactly once.

Each square reaches a different face.
Exercise complete
Solid folding.
You kept the six faces separate while folding each net.
How to play

Let the clue sort the letters.
Rearrange every tile to make the one word defined by the clue. Another valid anagram is still wrong when it does not match that meaning.

How to play
Think past the next press.
Turn every light off. Pressing one tile switches that tile plus its neighbours above, below, left and right.
- 1Scan the boardCount where the lit tiles sit, especially along the edges.
