Chimp Test

Each test here probes a different part of short-term memory: digits (number memory), positions (visual memory), order (sequence memory), pairs (memory match) — and the chimp test, which demands positions and order at once. Most people hold around 7 digits and reach level 8–10 on the visual grid; anything beyond that is genuinely good.

Scores swing with focus, sleep and practice, so play a few rounds before judging your result. Signed scores go to a global leaderboard — see how you rank against everyone else who tried today.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good memory test score?
Rough averages: 7 digits in number memory, level 8–10 in visual memory, 8 steps in sequence memory, and 7–9 in the chimp test. Beating those puts you above most players.
Do memory games actually improve memory?
You will clearly improve at the task itself through better strategies (chunking, verbalizing positions). Whether that transfers to everyday memory is still debated in research — treat these as fun measurement, not medicine.
What's the difference between the visual memory and chimp tests?
Visual memory only asks which tiles lit up; the chimp test also demands the order, binding each position to a number — that extra binding is what makes it harder.
What's the difference between short-term and working memory?
Short-term memory is passive storage — holding a phone number just long enough to dial it. Working memory is storage plus manipulation: holding information while you reorder, compare or use it. Repeating digits mainly taxes the first; the chimp test leans toward the second, since you must hold positions while executing them in order.
Which memory test should I start with?
Start with number memory — it's the simplest format and gives you a clean baseline (most people land near 7 digits). Then try visual memory for positions and sequence memory for order. Save the chimp test for last: it combines position and order, so it's the toughest and the most satisfying to improve at.
Why is it called the chimp test?
It recreates a famous Kyoto University experiment in which young chimpanzees memorized the positions of numerals after seeing them for only a fraction of a second — and outperformed adult humans at the task. The test became a viral benchmark precisely because losing to a chimpanzee makes people want another round.
