Position Memory Game is a deterministic browser challenge that asks you to study three shapes on a 3×3 board, hide them, then restore every hidden position across five fixed files for an exact 1,000-point total. Each round shows an Orb, a Wedge, and a Loop in fixed cells, hides them on your command, and hands you the same three shapes in a separately authored tray order. You place them back one at a time using drag, click, or keyboard input, and you earn 200 points only when all three shapes land in their exact original cells. The board, target coordinates, tray orders, scoring, and error policy are original finite fixtures, so every replay returns to the same auditable route. Everything runs locally in your browser with no account, upload, camera, random service, or model, and the score is entertainment rather than a cognitive assessment, medical screen, educational placement decision, developmental milestone, or guarantee of memory performance.
How Position Memory Game Is Structured
Every round in Position Memory Game follows the same three-stage cycle: Show, Hide, and Recall. During the Show phase, three original geometric objects, the Orb, the Wedge, and the Loop, appear in fixed cells of the 3×3 board. Each Show phase begins with a visible count of three so you can pace your own observation. Once you are ready, you use either the Count down control, which advances one pure step at a time, or Hide now, which moves directly to the Recall phase. Both transitions are deterministic; no hidden timing race changes an answer, which keeps the experience consistent across keyboard, touch, and automated accessibility use.
When the board is hidden, the tray presents the Orb, Wedge, and Loop in a separately authored order that is unique to that round. The tray order is intentionally different from the target cell order, so you cannot rely on a simple first-to-first mapping and must remember the actual cells. The recall phase ends in one of two ways: you restore all three objects in their exact original cells and the file is closed with 200 points, or you commit a second distinct wrong placement and the file deadlocks. Five rounds of 200 points produce the locked final score of exactly 1,000.
The Five Fixed Layouts and Tray Orders
The five layouts in Position Memory Game are literal finite product fixtures rather than randomly generated challenges. Cells on the 3×3 board are numbered left to right from one through nine. The table below shows the exact target cell for each shape in each file, and it is the same map every time you press Restart.
| File | Orb | Wedge | Loop |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cell 1 | Cell 5 | Cell 9 |
| 2 | Cell 3 | Cell 4 | Cell 8 |
| 3 | Cell 7 | Cell 2 | Cell 6 |
| 4 | Cell 9 | Cell 1 | Cell 5 |
| 5 | Cell 4 | Cell 8 | Cell 3 |
Independent tests own all five target-coordinate maps and all five tray orders as literal fixtures, so the route to a perfect 1,000 is fully auditable. The tray order for each round is separately authored, which means the visible order of the Orb, Wedge, and Loop in the recall tray is not the same as the order of their target cells on the board. You must rely on your observation of the Show phase rather than pattern matching between the tray and the board.
Play Position Memory Game Step by Step
Position Memory Game is designed so that a complete, deterministic run to 1,000 is achievable in five rounds. The steps below describe one full file from Show to scoring, and you repeat them for each of the five files.
- Observe the Orb, Wedge, and Loop in their fixed cells on the 3×3 board while the visible count of three is displayed.
- Use Count down to advance one pure step at a time, or press Hide now (or Enter or Space on the keyboard) to move directly to the Recall phase when you are ready.
- Place each shape back in its original cell using the method that suits you: drag a tray object onto a board cell, select an object and click its remembered cell, or use 1, 2, or 3 to pick a tray object, Arrow keys to move the board cursor, and Enter or Space to confirm.
- Confirm that all three shapes occupy their exact original cells. A correctly placed object leaves the tray and stays visible on the recalled board.
- Watch the round award 200 points automatically once the third shape lands in its correct cell, then proceed to the next file and repeat the cycle until all five files are restored for an exact 1,000-point finish.
Mouse, Touch, and Keyboard Controls
Every input method in Position Memory Game routes through the same placement reducer, so drag, click, and keyboard paths produce identical scoring behavior. Pointer and touch players can drag a tray object onto a board cell, and every drag uses the same logic as the click path. Players who prefer point-and-click can select an object and then click its remembered cell. Keyboard players can complete the entire game without a mouse by pressing 1, 2, or 3 according to the visible tray order, moving the board cursor with Arrow keys, and placing with Enter or Space. Enter or Space also doubles as the Hide now control during the Show phase, so a single key handles both transitions and placements.
Every interactive target in the game meets the 44-pixel minimum size requirement, which keeps the controls usable across touchscreens, accessibility switches, and standard mouse hardware. Occupied cells, unknown objects, fractional cells, negative cells, and cells outside the zero-through-eight range are rejected without partial state changes, so a stray click or out-of-range keyboard input cannot corrupt the board. Because all input methods share one reducer, you can switch between mouse, touch, and keyboard mid-round without affecting how your placements are scored.
Error Rules, Deadlock, and Restart
Position Memory Game treats the first wrong placement in a round as a recoverable event. When you place an object in the wrong cell, the object stays selected so you can choose a different cell without re-selecting it. If you repeat the identical wrong object in the identical wrong cell during the same round, the action is treated as an atomic no-op and does not count as a second error. The round closes only when you make a second distinct wrong object-and-cell placement, which deadlocks the file and freezes selection, placement, cursor movement, and Show controls.
When the file reaches completion or deadlock, the terminal state freezes the board entirely. Restart restores the first literal layout, the Show count of three, an empty placements list, the first board cursor position, a zero score, and zero errors. The shared game shell also provides best-score storage that stays in your browser, plus a double-Escape Boss Key that hides the game quickly. Because every restart returns to the same fixtures, you can use the game as a repeatable practice tool and compare your best score across sessions without worrying about drift in the underlying layout.
What the Score Does and Does Not Measure
The 1,000-point total in Position Memory Game is a reflection of how closely your placements matched the five disclosed literal layouts. The math is direct: each of the five files awards 200 points only when all three shapes occupy their exact original cells, so 5 files × 200 points = 1,000 points on a perfect run. If a file deadlocks after a second distinct wrong placement, that file contributes 0 to your total, and your run ends without the full 1,000.
The score is entertainment rather than a cognitive assessment, medical screen, educational placement decision, developmental milestone, or guarantee of memory performance. The layouts, target coordinates, tray orders, and scoring rules are fully disclosed, so the game offers an auditable practice environment for visual spatial recall without making claims about your underlying ability. Independent tests verify pure Show ticks, Hide now, full exact-1,000 completion, a recoverable error, identical-error deduplication, second-error deadlock, occupied-cell rejection, cursor boundaries, illegal input, Restart, and terminal freezing, which means the rules you see are the rules the game actually enforces. If you want a related five-round memory challenge with the same transparent scoring style, the Pattern Memory Game tests a different memory channel by asking you to pick each exact pattern from four options, while the Picture Memory Test offers another compact 3×3 grid challenge with a similar structure.
