How the Monkey Says module works

The module repeats one flash per stage and makes you replay everything you have entered so far. Only the new flash has to reach the solver.

Call out only the new flash

You do not need to repeat the earlier flashes to the solver. Keep the current run open and enter only the new flash — the tool already has the rest.

  • 01

    The player names one color

    Say the stage and the color that just flashed. Nothing else has to be passed on.

    Stage three — Yellow.

  • 02

    The solver answers with the list

    It returns every button to press, in order, including the new one.

    Replay: Blue, green, blue.

  • 03

    Do not read the run back in

    Re-entering the earlier colors wastes the seconds the tracker just saved, and it is how a run picks up a wrong stage.

Common Monkey Says mistakes

Five mistakes account for most failed Monkey Says rounds, and the first two are the ones that cost the whole run rather than one stage.

  • Pressing only the newest answer

    Every later stage replays the whole sequence. The newest color is the last button, not the only one.

  • Mixing up the flash and the press

    The color that flashed is not the color to press. The answer card labels both.

  • Losing track of the stage

    The solver tracks the stage for you, so keep the run open instead of counting stages by hand.

  • Starting over after one wrong flash

    Use Undo last stage or edit that row. The earlier stages are still correct.

  • Reading colors by their look alone

    Every answer here is written out as a word, so a run can be checked at a glance.

Monkey Says FAQ

What do I enter into the Monkey Says solver?

Only the new color that flashes for the current stage.

Does Monkey Says use the same color rule every stage?

No. The flash-to-press mapping changes with every stage.

Do I press only the newest color?

No. Later stages require the complete sequence built so far.

How many stages does Monkey Says have?

Four in the current solver table.

What if I entered the wrong flash?

Edit that stage from the run history, or undo the last stage and enter it again. The rest of the run is kept.
