Zodiac Memory

Thumby leads a lantern parade of the twelve zodiac animals. Each round a new line walks past, all in view at once, then the lanterns go dark. Don't play it back: answer two questions about its order, like who walked right after the Tiger or where the Goat was.

2–4 min
Sequence memory

How to play

Study the parade. 3 to 8 animals in a row, each on a numbered place. You have a few seconds; tap "Got it" to go early.
Lights out. The lanterns go dark. Answer two questions about the order: who came after or before, who was third, where an animal walked, who was in between.
Three lives. A wrong answer costs a life. Twelve rounds, one for each animal of the zodiac, with a memory tip and a zodiac fact after each.
Score. 30 points plus 10 per animal in the parade for each right answer, +25 for a perfect round. A perfect run is 2,340.

Quick tips

Count while you look. "One Rat, two Horse, three Dog" ties each animal to its place number.
Chunk the line. Split a long parade into groups of three. Three small chunks beat one long list.
