The Game

This kit is for a memory game called Simon Says (also known as Simon). It makes a great gift for those who are new to electronics and soldering.

Easy to assemble and easy to play, this memory game is fun for all ages. It can also help new electronics users practice their soldering skills by soldering through-hole components onto a printed circuit board.

The kit is powered by two AA batteries (not included).

How to Play

The board has 4 different-coloured LEDs and 4 corresponding pushbuttons. A random sequence of flashing lights / beeps is generated, and the player must recreate that sequence using the pushbuttons.

If the player misses, or gets one wrong, then the game is over. Bright, multi-colour LEDs and different buzzer tones make the game easy to follow. If you'd like to see a video of the game in action, check out this video.

Completely Open Source

This kit is also completely open source! Feel like changing the buzzer tones? Want to make the game easier / harder? Just want to check out the source code to figure out how it works? Well you can! Want to print/etch your own boards? No problem. The entire project, including Arduino source code, Gerber Files, and Fritzing project files is available on Github.

Notes

International orders (outside of Canada) are sent via Canada Post's "Light Packet - Air" service. According to Canada Post Delivery Standards, orders may take between 4-6 business days for USA orders and between 4-7 business days for other countries to arrive, not including the time it takes to clear customs. Canadian orders are sent as non-standard / oversize lettermail (Canada Post) and should take between 2-4 business days for major and non-major urban centres. All orders are sent from Toronto. Local pickup is available if you would like to save on shipping, just contact me before placing your order. If you live/work in the downtown core I may even be able to deliver it to you!

I know that waiting for packages sucks, so all orders will ship as soon as possible! Note that orders made on the weekend or on Ontario holidays will not ship until the next business day as per Canada Post Delivery Standards.
