Simon Says
Watch. Remember. Repeat. How long can you last?
About Simon Says
Simon Says is the iconic memory game of glowing colors and musical tones. Four pads light up in a sequence — watch carefully, then repeat it. Every round adds one more step, and what starts as child's play quickly becomes a serious test of focus as the sequences stretch to 10, 15, 20 steps. The melodic tones help (your ears remember what your eyes forget), but one wrong tap and the run ends. A perfect daily brain workout disguised as a toy.

Tips & strategy

- Say the colors in your head as they play.
- Don't rush your replay — there's no timer on your turn.
