THE FIELD NOTES
How to play Pattern Lab
- Read the transformation above the board before looking at the answers. A rotation changes direction; a reflection flips the board across an axis.
- Track one distinctive corner or cluster, then check the rest of the tiles. Choose the board that satisfies the whole instruction.
- Review the explanation after each answer in solo play. If you missed a reflection, compare the two sides before starting the next question.
A worked example
Imagine a lit tile in the top-left corner of a square. A clockwise quarter-turn moves it to the top-right. A left-to-right reflection also moves that corner, but the other tiles can separate the two answers.
A strategy to try
Choose an asymmetric feature as your anchor. A single corner may fit more than one option, so check a second feature before committing.
Choose your challenge
Higher levels add more demanding boards and transformations. Starter is a useful place to learn how the grid controls and answer options work.
Each round has ten questions. Choose a 90-second sprint or untimed practice. Correct answers earn 100 points; finishing a sprint adds up to 99 time-bonus points. A score describes this round, not intelligence or a medical assessment.
