Why Play Spatial Speed Match?
Spatial Speed Match targets your Processing Speed and challenges you to make rapid judgments about spatial relationships. You’ll be comparing shapes and their orientations—deciding quickly if they match.
Processing Speed
Quickly interpret and respond to changing visual input.
Mental Rotation
Visualize how shapes would look when turned or flipped.
Selective Attention
Focus on key differences while ignoring distractions under time pressure.
Spatial Speed Match vs Other Speed Games
While traditional Speed games focus on color, symbol, or quantity, Spatial Speed Match adds a twist—rotation. You’re not just spotting identical shapes; you’re mentally rotating them to see if they match. This adds a visual-spatial challenge to an already fast-paced format.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cognitive skill does Spatial Speed Match train?
Spatial Speed Match targets Processing Speed and Spatial Reasoning, specifically your ability to mentally rotate and compare objects quickly.
Is Spatial Speed Match based on a real cognitive task?
Yes. The game is inspired by cognitive tasks that test mental rotation and rapid decision-making, combining visual perception and speed in a research-inspired format.
What are some tips for playing Spatial Speed Match?
Look for anchor points in the shapes, like corners or unique patterns, to spot differences faster. Focus on structure rather than exact orientation and build speed as you gain confidence.
How is Spatial Speed Match different from Speed Match?
While Speed Match focuses on comparing symbols, Spatial Speed Match adds a rotational component. You must mentally turn shapes to evaluate if they match, making it more spatially demanding.
