About Count

Count is a quick counting game. A scatter of shapes flashes up, then hides, and you say how many of one shape in one colour there were.

The other shapes share the target colour or the target shape, so you have to count only the ones that match both. You have a moment to look, not time to point.

Tips for a higher score

  • Find the colour first, then count the right shape within it.
  • Small groups of up to four can be seen at a glance, so count in groups.
  • Ignore everything that matches only one of the two.
