About Simon

Simon is the classic memory game of colors and sounds. Watch the four pads light up in a growing pattern, then repeat it back note for note as the sequence gets longer every round. Play Simon online free, with no download and no sign-up, on phone or desktop.

How to play

Let the sounds help you: each pad plays a distinct pitch, so many players remember the tune as much as the colors. Repeat the sequence quietly to yourself while you watch, and settle into a steady tapping rhythm rather than rushing. As the pattern grows, chunk it into small groups of three or four to keep longer sequences from blurring together.
