Questions

How do you play Simon says?

One player is Simon and gives commands. Do an action only when the command starts with "Simon says"; if it does not, stay still. Tricky mode in this game uses the same rule.

Does it check that my child really moves?

No, it cannot see your child. It checks the picture they tap. Doing the action is up to you!

How many actions?

18 actions and body parts, all with a recorded voice.

What is Tricky mode?

Simon only counts when he says "Simon says". If he does not, do not move and tap the hand symbol instead.

How long is a game?

Ten commands per game.

Which actions are in the game?

18 actions and body parts, from jump, run and swim to touch your nose and brush your teeth.

Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for. Progress is saved on the device you play on.

Does it work without internet?

Supported games can be played offline after a successful first visit. Speech recognition may still need internet; manual continuation is available.

Do I need help to start?

No. If someone is learning with you, try the first session together so you can see how it works. After that you can play alone.
