Path Finder

Watch the path animate across the grid, then trace it back in the correct order. Great for training spatial working memory.

Path Finder is a spatial working memory task that challenges you to observe, retain, and reproduce a sequence of connected locations on a grid. Unlike simple recall games, success depends on remembering both position and order within a two-dimensional space.

During the preview phase, the animated path must be encoded quickly and maintained without visual support. When tracing the path back, each step requires precise recall of spatial relationships rather than isolated points.

As paths become longer, the task places increasing demands on working memory, attention control, and error monitoring. Even a single misplaced step breaks the sequence, reinforcing careful sequencing over guesswork.

Spatial sequence tasks like this are commonly used to train navigation skills, visual planning, and ordered recall — abilities that support problem-solving, learning, and real-world activities that involve remembering routes or procedures.
