About This Game
Sequence is a numerical pattern recognition game from the IQ Forge series. Each round presents a sequence of numbers with one missing, and you must determine the pattern and fill in the gap. Patterns start simple (add 2 each time) and progress to complex rules involving multiplication, alternating operations, prime numbers, and nested patterns.
The game tests numerical reasoning and pattern detection — core components of mathematical intelligence. Twenty rounds of increasing complexity ensure that everyone hits their threshold, making it an effective benchmark for quantitative reasoning ability.
How to Play
- A number sequence is displayed with a gap marked by '?'
- Determine the pattern governing the sequence
- Select the correct number from the multiple-choice options
- Answer quickly for bonus points — a timer counts down each round
- Complete 20 rounds to see your final score and ranking
Tips & Strategy
Start by checking simple patterns: constant addition, multiplication, or alternating operations
If simple patterns don't work, look at the differences between consecutive numbers
Some sequences use two interleaved patterns (every other number follows a different rule)
Prime number and Fibonacci patterns appear in later rounds — memorize these sequences
