Numbered Squares

Numbers are scattered across a grid. Tap them in order from 1 as fast as you can. A quick test of visual search and focus, with a daily board.

How to play

  1. Every number from 1 up to the last square appears once somewhere in the grid.
  2. Tap 1 first, then 2, then 3, and so on. Found numbers are shaded.
  3. A wrong tap is counted as a mistake and the timer keeps running.
  4. Tap the last number to finish. Your time is your score.

Tips and strategy

  • Keep your eyes on the middle of the grid and use your side vision to spot the next number.
  • Look for the next number while you are tapping the current one.
  • Do not rush the first few. A steady rhythm beats a frantic start with mistakes.
  • Try the small grid first and move up once you can finish it in under fifteen seconds.

Does it train anything useful?
It is a classic visual search exercise. It is a fun speed test, not a medical or training programme.
