Games Like Simon

7 free browser picks for fans of the Milton Bradley, 1978 classic.

TL;DR: The truest stand-in is Echo Lights, our from-scratch tribute - watch, remember, repeat - one note longer every round. The rest of the Skill & Precision row keeps Simon's spirit; compare them below.

Simon (Milton Bradley, 1978) defined its corner of the arcade as a electronic memory game. If that Simon feeling is what you're chasing, every electronic memory game pick below plays free in your browser, no download or signup, and each carries a daily seeded challenge with a global leaderboard.

The Top Pick: Echo Lights

Echo Lights rebuilds the Simon formula from scratch: repeat the machine's growing sequence of lights and tones without a slip. The house card rates it "memory under a spotlight" with a "sequences lengthen, playback speeds up" tempo. Want the backstory first? Read the history of Simon.
