About Simon Says
Simon Says is a memory game modeled on the electronic classic Simon, launched by Milton Bradley in 1978 with its unmistakable four glowing pads and musical tones. The machine plays a sequence of colors and sounds; you repeat it; then the sequence grows by one — round after round until your memory slips.
This browser version keeps the four pads — green, red, yellow and blue — each with its own tone, and adds a Strict mode for purists: one mistake sends you back to round one instead of just ending the round. Your best round is tracked, sound can be toggled, and the game is free to play with no download.

Frequently asked questions
Chunk the pattern into groups of three or four, the way you would a phone number, and let the tones help — each pad has a distinct pitch, so the sequence becomes a melody as much as a light pattern.
In normal play a mistake simply ends your run at that round. Strict mode is the original hard variant: any wrong pad wipes the sequence and restarts you at round one.
Most beginners stumble around rounds 8 to 10. Reaching the mid-teens is genuinely strong, and 20-plus rounds puts you in trained-memory territory — the average person holds about seven items in short-term memory.
No — the pads flash visibly, so the game is fully playable muted. That said, the tones give your memory a second channel, and most players score higher with sound enabled.
Yes. Tap the pads on any touch screen; nothing needs installing, and your best round is saved in your browser.
