The Chimpanzee Memory Test challenges your visual short-term memory with a fast-paced task inspired by studies on real chimpanzees. In this game, numbers flash briefly on the screen, then disappear. Your task: tap the hidden numbers in the correct ascending order — relying entirely on memory.
This test is based on cognitive experiments showing that some chimpanzees can outperform humans in certain memory tasks. It's a fun yet demanding way to explore how well your brain can process and retain spatial information under time pressure.
5 Tips for the Chimp Test:
1. Observe before you act
Take a quick but focused snapshot of all number positions before they vanish. Every detail counts.
2. Use spatial patterns
Try to remember number locations by their layout or shape — like imagining them as parts of a grid or pattern.
3. Don’t rush the click
Speed matters, but precision is more important. One wrong tap ends the round.
4. Train regularly
The more you play, the better your brain adapts to fast visual recognition and recall.
5. Challenge yourself
Gradually increase the difficulty level and compete against your own high score — or the memory of a chimp.
