Bomb Finder shows you a grid with bombs hidden in specific cells, lets you look for a moment, then hides them and asks you to click every bomb position. It is a spatial recall test dressed as a minesweeper board — you are not deducing anything, you are remembering where things were.
Study the grid while the bomb positions are visible.
The bombs disappear when the study time ends.
Click every cell that held a bomb.
Wrong clicks count against you, so do not guess to fill the count.
Grids grow and study time shrinks as you clear rounds.
Visuospatial working memory — holding a set of positions rather than a sequence. Position memory has a different capacity limit from sequence memory, and people who are strong at one are often noticeably weaker at the other.
Encode the shape the bombs make, not the individual cells. Four bombs in an L is one thing to remember, not four.
Use the grid edges as anchors. 'Two in from the left, top row' survives longer than a purely visual impression.
Count the bombs during the study phase so you know when to stop clicking.
Click the ones you are certain of first. Recalling one position often unlocks the one next to it.
No — only the set of positions matters.
Matching Pairs is about linking two locations to the same hidden item. This is about holding a static pattern of positions.
Yes — the grid gets larger and the study window gets shorter as you clear rounds.
Split the grid into quadrants and remember a count plus a shape for each. Chunking beats brute memorisation once you pass about five bombs.
