Task: Cards are briefly revealed showing emojis, then turned face down. Click on two cards that show the same emoji — find all pairs.

Task: Maths problems fall from above. Solve them as quickly as possible — enter the answer on the number pad and confirm with ✓ before the block reaches the bottom.

Task: On a 3×3 grid, cells light up one after another. Memorise the order, then click the same sequence afterwards.

Task: Circular targets briefly appear on screen. Tap only the correct targets — ignore all others.

Task: Symbols appear on screen and sometimes a tone plays at the same time. Count only the moments when image AND sound occur simultaneously. Enter the count at the end.

Task: Arrows appear one by one. → adds 1 to the counter, ← subtracts 1. You start with a number (e.g. 11). After the last arrow, enter the final value.

Task: You do two things at once: search for symbol pairs (visual) and count tones (auditory).

The 3 phases

Symbol pairs — what to click?

Symbol pairs such as ◉◉ or ◉▲ appear on the game field. Click only on pairs with two identical symbols — ignore mixed pairs. Each item has a small countdown bar; when it runs out, the item disappears.

Task: On a large flower meadow, 450 small symbols are hidden. Among them are two target plants: 🌿 herbs and 🍀 clover. Find and mark all occurrences — as many as possible in 3 minutes.

How do you recognise the target plants?

All symbols are small and grey (black-and-white). The target plants differ from the distractor flowers only by their shape — 🌿 and 🍀. All coloured flowers (roses, sunflowers, tulips etc.) on the meadow are distractors and should be ignored.

Clicking & marking

• Click on a target plant → it is marked green with a number (order)
• Click on a distractor → brief red flash, no point (actually costs points!)
• The meadow is larger than the screen — don't forget to scroll / swipe
• The "Done" button ends the game early

After the game

Unfound target plants are highlighted in yellow so you can see where they were hidden. In the therapist dashboard, your search path is also visible as a chart.

Score

Score = hits × 80 + remaining seconds × 5 − wrong hits × 50

Task: On a dot grid, dots light up one after another — each with a small number. This is the path you must memorise. Then tap the dots in exactly the same order.

How does a round work?

1. The screen shows "Memorise path!" — watch which dots light up
2. The numbers show you the order (1, 2, 3 …)
3. Tap the dots in the same order, then press "Done"
4. Green = correct path · Red = your errors

Does it get harder?

• The higher the level, the longer the path (3 → 4 → 5 → … dots)
• The display time gets shorter too — you need to react faster
• From level 5, the grid grows: 3×3 → 4×4, from level 9 → 5×5 dots
• From level 6, diagonal connections are added — the path no longer runs only horizontally/vertically
• From level 12, the path can also cross itself — that's when it gets really tricky!
• The level adjusts automatically: 2 correct → level up · 2 errors → level down

Score

Per correct step: 40 points × combo multiplier. Perfect round: additionally path length × 30 bonus points. Combo increases with each error-free round (max. 2.5×).
