Tea set #5
Light brew · three games · about 5 minutes
Cups in this set
Each cup counts when you play it at the level shown here.
A light brew to start with. All three cups are poured at gentle levels, so this set is about settling in rather than stretching.
In this pot: hold it in mind, a steady eye. It opens with Light Trail and finishes with Flash Grid.
What is in the pot
| Cup | Game | Level | First task | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Light Trail | Easy | 3 steps, 4 panels | about 2 min |
| 2 | Step Back | Letter · 1 back | 21 letters | about 1 min |
| 3 | Flash Grid | Easy | 3 tiles on 3 × 3 | about 2 min |
The three cups
Cup 1: Light Trail
Light Trail, Easy: keeping an order of shapes and notes. The first trail is 3 steps long on 4 panels; each panel glows for 0.52 s.
Tip: Listen as well as look. Each panel always plays the same note, so a trail is also a little tune.
Cup 2: Step Back
Step Back, Letter · 1 back: keeping a short list moving through your mind. 21 letters, 6 of them matches; letters used: C, F, H, K, L, N, R, T.
Tip: Say the last items under your breath and drop the oldest each time: ‘K, R’ becomes ‘R, T’.
Cup 3: Flash Grid
Flash Grid, Easy: holding a scattered pattern for a second. The first pattern has 3 tiles on a 3 × 3 grid and stays lit for 1.11 s.
Tip: If you miss twice in a row, take a sip of tea before the next round. The game waits for the countdown, not for you to rush.
Every cup in set #5 has a fixed seed, so anyone who opens this set gets the same patterns, trails, sums and waits. Your own ticks and results are kept only in this browser.
