About Copycat

Copycat is a sequence memory game. Tiles light up one after another, and you tap them back in the same order.

Each round the sequence gets longer, and later levels ask you to play it backwards. It is a cousin of the classic light-up memory toys and of the Corsi block test.

Tips for a higher score

  • Group the tiles into chunks of two or three, like a phone number.
  • Trace the path with your eyes while it plays, as a shape.
  • For backwards rounds, say the order to yourself, then reverse it.
