How to Embed a Lumosity "Memory Matrix"
"Memory Matrix" is an embeddable flash game created by Lumosity. Colored blocks appear on a grid. The colored boxes then disappear, but the grid remains. The player must then remember where the blocks were on the grid and click them one-by-one. Those who successfully remember the prior location of the blocks receive a “Correct!” notification and then receive points based on the difficulty of the particular round. The player keeps playing until he gets a “Trial Wrong” message and loses a trial. Run out of trials and the player loses. As with all flash games, it can be embedded onto another website.

Tips & Warnings
Embed "Memory Matrix" on a website that is related to memory or intended for those who often have poor memory. Those who play memory matrix can exercise the brain’s memory capabilities, just like a muscle. Add text nearby the flash game, explaining what the game is and how it works. Not only will this help visitors understand what the game is and how to play it, but search engines will more likely index the page containing the game and will bring more traffic to your website. If you do not receive permission to embed the game, consider instead linking to it. Linking to a website does not violate copyright laws.
Make sure your Web host provides enough disk storage space to place the flash game on your website. You might have to pay your Web host a larger fee for more space.
