Mind the Cards

A card-sequence memory game

Watch the cards.
Rebuild the order.

A simple challenge with surprising depth: cards appear one by one, then disappear. Your job is to put them back in exactly the same sequence.

Available now for iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows. No adverts. No subscription. No Mind the Cards account required.

One round, three beats

Easy to understand. Hard to beat.

You cannot rely on matching pairs or keeping cards face-up. The whole sequence lives in your head until you rebuild it.

  1. 01

    Watch

    Cards appear one at a time. Notice every picture and its position in the sequence.

  2. 02

    Remember

    The sequence disappears. Hold the order while the complete card tray arrives.

  3. 03

    Rebuild

    Tap the cards in order, undo a mistake if needed, then check your answer.

23 themed challenges

Change the cards. Change the kind of recall.

Pictures, symbols, places and objects ask your brain to encode the same sequence in different ways. Five games are free; Ultimate unlocks the complete collection.
