Pattern games

Spot the change. Witbolt’s pattern tasks show you how something changes, and you work out what happens next.

What Patterns means in Witbolt

Pattern tasks are almost entirely visual: shapes, fills, directions and positions on a grid. You infer the rule from what you see and then apply it. There is no reading and no trivia.

Transform Match: apply the same change

An example shows a shape before and after a change. Then a new shape appears. Choose the result of applying exactly the same change to it.

Example. An outlined triangle pointing up becomes a filled triangle pointing right.

The change is “turn a quarter clockwise and fill in”. Apply that to the new shape and pick the matching option.

Harder tasks combine more changes at once, and the wrong options apply only part of the change or the right changes in the wrong way.

Motion Grid: find what comes next

Three frames of a small grid appear in order. Something moves or changes from frame to frame. Choose the fourth frame.

Example. On a 3×3 grid, a token moves one step around the edge each frame while also switching between filled and outlined.

Follow both changes one more step to find the next frame.

Harder tasks move to a larger grid with two moving tokens and more properties changing at once. The options are balanced, so picking the most common-looking answer never works.

How Patterns fits into a Battle

Patterns is one of four skill families in every Battle of about 12 tasks. Correct answers drive your score, and a quick correct answer adds a small, capped speed bonus. Your result shows how you did in Patterns next to Logic, Numbers and Recall.

Play pattern games against your friends

You cannot pick a single family. Every Battle mixes all four, so the best all-rounder wins. After your Battle, send a challenge link and your friend plays an equivalent Battle with the same mix of task types and difficulty. Then you compare results, family by family. How friend challenges work.

Witbolt is a game. Its scores and ratings describe how you play inside Witbolt. They are not IQ scores or a measure of intelligence.
