Digit Span Working Memory Game
Watch the digits, then tap them back. Free, no signup, works on any device.
How to Play
- 1A short row of digits appears one at a time. Watch carefully — they hide before you answer.
- 2When the keypad appears, tap the digits in the same order you saw them.
- 3At higher levels the row gets longer, and later you tap the digits backward.
- 4A trial is correct only when every digit is in the right place.
Digit Span asks you to hold a short row of numbers in mind and say them back. That same working-memory loop is used when you remember a code, a phone number, or the next few steps of a recipe.
About This Game
Digit Span is a classic working-memory task: a few digits appear one at a time, then they hide and you tap them back. That sounds simple, but it asks your mind to hold a short row, keep the order, and only then answer.
A trial is correct only when every digit matches the expected sequence. Early levels use three or four digits in the same order you saw them. Higher levels grow the row and later ask you to tap the digits backward.
Short rounds are enough. Two to five minutes is a comfortable practice dose. The game is for anyone who wants a calm memory workout — students, adults, and curious players — not a medical test and not a promise of special results. Play for the feeling of keeping a number row in mind, then come back another day.
