Pattern Breaker

A row with a rule running through it — the same shape, a repeating cycle of colours, a number sequence, arrows turning steadily — and one item that breaks it. Find it. Practice shows why after every answer.

Pattern Breaker trains pattern recognition. Each row has a rule running through it — the same shape, a repeating cycle of colours, a number sequence, arrows turning steadily — and exactly one item that does not follow it.

How to play Pattern Breaker

Look along the row and work out its rule.
Tap the one item that breaks it.
In Practice there is no clock, and after every answer the game shows the rule and why the item broke it.

Scoring

A right answer is 10 points, and up to 5 more for a quick one.
Five good decisions in a row start multiplying your points, up to three times.
A wrong answer, or running out of time, costs 5.

No clock

Choose No clock to play twenty rounds at your own pace: each round waits twice as long, there is no bonus for speed, and a wrong answer or a miss costs nothing — it only breaks your combo. A no-clock game keeps its own best, apart from the timed one’s.

Tips

Check one property at a time — shape, then colour, then size, then direction.
With numbers, look at the gaps between them: a steady step or a doubling is usually the rule.

Play it with friends

On your own, against the characters — each plays the game by its own rules the moment it starts, so there is always somebody to beat.
With friends, each on their own phone or laptop: one of you shows a code, the others type it in, and everybody gets exactly the same game on the same Go.
Taking turns on one device — pass it round, and each turn is scored against the turns before.
