MotionPath

About MotionPath

MotionPath tests visual memory. In each round a point of light sweeps along a path across the screen and leaves a trail that then disappears. You put your finger or mouse on the starting point and redraw the movement. The game compares your line with the real one and scores the round, and a full daily run is scored out of 500.

The daily challenge is built from the date in UTC, so every player sees the same paths on the same day, and the site shows a daily leaderboard and a chart of how everyone's scores are spread. You can play the daily once; after that the button changes to practice, where new paths come without limit and do not count.

The site holds a few related memory games: BlindCut, Dot Memory (put back dots that faded away) and Rhythm (repeat a beat). The leaderboard can combine your daily scores from MotionPath and BlindCut. The game is made to work well on phones and shows ads. It is made by Vire Creative.

It suits players who like the Dialed games or Afterglow and want a short daily test of memory rather than words or numbers.

How to play MotionPath

1. Open motionpath.app and press Daily challenge.
2. Watch the light move along its path until the trail fades.
3. Start on the marked point and redraw the path from memory in one stroke.
4. See your score for the round, then play the next path.
5. At the end, compare your total out of 500 with the day's leaderboard, then use practice for more rounds.

Tips

• Watch the turning points rather than the whole curve; the straight parts between them are easy to rebuild.
• Keep your drawing speed steady so the shape does not get squeezed.
• Use a few practice rounds on a new device before the daily, since a mouse and a finger feel different.
