Sequence Memory Test
Wards flare gold in a sequence — watch the order, then plant them back by clicking the same spots in the same order. Perfect it and the next sequence is one longer. Two failed attempts end the run.

What's a good score?
8–9 span — Exceptional spatial sequence memory.
6–7 — Strong — above the classic average.
5–6 — The textbook adult range.
< 5 — Typical when tired or distracted; span is state-sensitive.
What this test measures
This is the Corsi block-tapping task, in continuous use since 1972 — the standard measure of visuospatial sequence memory. The classic adult span is around 5–6 items; the task’s beauty is that it self-calibrates, climbing until it finds your ceiling.
Spatial working memory is one of the clearest expert–novice separators in esports research samples.
Questions players ask
What is a normal memory span?
Around 5–6 items for spatial sequences in adults (slightly below the famous 7±2 figure, which was for digits). Span shrinks measurably with fatigue and divided attention.
How is this different from a number memory test?
This measures WHERE-in-order memory rather than verbal digits — a separate system, and the one games actually use: positions, paths, and timings on a map.
Can I grow my memory span?
Practice and strategy (chunking positions into shapes) reliably improve span-task scores. Gains are measured on the trained task family.
