15 games across 6 skills
Memory
- Grid Recall Tiles light up for a moment. Tap every tile that was lit.
- Path Trace Watch the tiles flash in order, then tap them in the same order. Reverse rounds ask for it backwards.
- Echo Symbols appear one by one. Tap Match when a symbol is the same as the one N steps back.
Focus
- Flank Which way does the middle arrow point? Ignore its neighbours. If it glows amber, answer the opposite way.
- Clash Does the bottom word name how the top word is drawn? Read the cue — later rounds ask what it says instead.
- Spot Every ring has a gap. Find the one ring whose gap points a different way.
Speed
- Snap Tap as fast as you can when the teal circle appears. Hold back for anything else.
- Match Two dot patterns appear. Are they exactly the same? Decide as fast as you can.
Logic
- Pattern Work out the rule behind the numbers and pick what comes next.
- Balance Each scale is balanced. Use them to work out how many of one shape weigh the same as another.
- Route Start on the glowing tile and follow the arrows for the number of steps shown. Where do you end up?
Math
- Quick Sum Solve each sum in your head and type the answer. Multiplication and division come first.
- Estimate Two amounts appear. Tap the larger one — trust your gut, there is no time to count.
Language
- Sort A group and a word appear. Does the word belong to the group? Answer before time runs out.
- Misfit All the words but one belong together. Tap the one that doesn’t.

Questions
How are ranks calculated?
Mindtier uses Glicko-2, the rating system behind many online chess sites. Every puzzle has a difficulty rating; when you solve harder puzzles your rating rises. Ratings map to eight tiers — Iron to Grandmaster — with four divisions each up to Diamond. Placement can start you as high as Diamond; Master and Grandmaster are earned in ranked play.
Is this an IQ test?
No. Mindtier is a game. Your rank reflects how well you play these specific puzzles compared with other players. It is not an IQ, medical, educational or diagnostic assessment.
What is free?
Placement and your full results, one ranked session every day, the Daily Challenge, seasons, weekly leagues, duels with friends and Zen practice for six games. No ads anywhere.
Does Pro help in leagues?
No. Only your first ranked session of each day scores in a league, for free and Pro players alike.
