Pathfinder
About Pathfinder
Pathfinder is a compact PlayMemorize mini-game about spatial working memory. Memorize a short arrow path, then recreate it from memory once it disappears.
How a round works. You study the route while it is shown, it vanishes, then you rebuild it arrow by arrow. Feedback is immediate, and a new seeded round keeps the puzzle fresh without sending the puzzle state away from your browser.
Age-aware practice. Library links can carry an age band into the game, so the opening difficulty is tuned to the child or grown-up challenge path that launched it.
Embeddable. The Embed tab lets teachers, parents, and writers place either the mini-game or full game on another site. Embed opens are tagged for GA4 attribution while play remains local-first.
Part of PlayMemorize, a passion project from Christoffer De Geer. It runs in the browser and is designed for short, honest practice rounds.
FAQ
Q: What does Pathfinder train?
Pathfinder trains spatial working memory and sequence recall through short rounds with immediate feedback.
Q: Can I embed Pathfinder?
Yes. Open the Embed tab below the game to copy a mini-game iframe or a full-game iframe for another page.
Q: Does Pathfinder work with age filters?
Yes. Age-filtered library links pass the selected band into the game so the first round starts at an appropriate difficulty.
Q: Why is Pathfinder excluded from worksheets for now?
The worksheet registry documents this game as unsupported because the current paper renderer cannot yet preserve the interaction or diagrams that make the browser version fair.
