FREE DEMO & PRACTICE GUIDE
P&G Grid Challenge practice.
Remember where the dots appeared while answering visual questions between them. Try three fixed memory sequences before starting full practice.
No account required. The demo always uses the same questions.

The memory game has two jobs
The Grid Challenge is often called the P&G memory test or dot test. You retain a sequence of positions while working on a separate visual task. In the published P&G interactive examples, recall alternates with reflection, rotation and combination tasks.
In our practice, a dot appears for two seconds. After each dot, answer a visual question. When recall starts, select the remembered locations in their original order. The three demo sequences introduce the three visual task types.
An example of ordered recall
Location and order are separate
1. Upper-left2. Middle-right3. Lower-left
If these were the three positions shown, recall them in that order. Selecting the same three places in reverse would not reproduce the sequence. Use short location labels as a practice aid, then check them against the actual dots on the board.
Our result history records both correctly recalled positions and visual answers. That helps you distinguish losing the sequence from making errors on the intervening task.
Reflection, rotation and combination
- Reflection
- Compare the pattern with its mirror image. A cell one place from the dividing line on the left needs its counterpart one place from the line on the right.
- Rotation
- Turn the pattern mentally without flipping it. Follow an asymmetric feature: an L-shape, a missing corner or a short arm is more informative than a symmetrical centre.
- Combination
- Combine or remove the shown elements according to the sign. For addition, include elements from either input; for subtraction, remove the second input's elements from the first.
How to practise the two tasks together
- Give each position a short label you can retain while switching tasks.
- Rehearse the sequence once after a new dot, rather than replaying the whole visual puzzle.
- On recall, pause long enough to check the first location. A shifted start can make a remembered sequence look entirely wrong.
- Review memory and visual accuracy separately. Choose your next practice session based on the weaker part.
Full memory practice has nine sequences and an optional 12-minute timer. The free demo is untimed overall, but dots and visual phases have their own display periods. Compare the full-access plans.
Common questions
Is Grid Challenge the same as Switch Challenge?
No. Grid is about retaining positions while solving visual tasks. Switch is about applying codes to reorder symbols.
Can I replay the free memory demo?
Yes. It always uses the same three sequences. It is useful for learning the controls; full practice generates fresh sequences.
Does the memory score predict my P&G result?
No. It measures recall within these practice sessions. It is not an official assessment score.
