Simon Memory Game

Simon is a memory game built on one rule: a device flashes a sequence of colored pads, and the player must repeat it back in the exact same order. Milton Bradley released the original electronic version in 1978 with four pads, red, green, blue and yellow, and every version since keeps the strict ordering rule. Each level adds exactly one new flash to the end of the run, so the sequence already memorized stays intact and the required recall span grows by one step at a time. A single wrong pad ends the game outright, with no lives to spend. The 12 practice questions here follow that structure. Level 8 flips the rule and asks for a three color run repeated backwards, and level 11 has two players give six flash answers that differ only in the final color, which is enough to knock one of them out.
