Simon Says — SIK Circuit 16

Build the classic Simon Says memory game! Four colored LEDs, four buttons, and a buzzer combine into a complete interactive game with memory mode, battle mode, and a secret easter egg.

Parts & Introduction

The grand finale! Simon Says is a memory game where you repeat an ever-growing sequence of colored lights and sounds. This project combines LEDs, buttons, and a buzzer into a complete game with multiple modes. It's the most complex circuit in the SIK — a great capstone project.

Parts Needed

  • 1x Arduino Uno + USB cable
  • 1x Breadboard
  • 4x LEDs (red, green, blue, yellow if possible)
  • 4x Push Buttons
  • 1x Piezo Buzzer
  • 4x 330Ω Resistors
  • 17x Jumper Wires

Game Modes

  • Memory Mode (default) — Follow the growing pattern. Win after 13 rounds.
  • Battle Mode (hold green at startup) — Two-player mode, each player extends the sequence.
  • Easter Egg (hold yellow at startup) — Plays "Stayin' Alive" with flashing LEDs!

  1. Each LED needs a 330Ω resistor between its negative leg and GND.
  2. Buttons use INPUT_PULLUP mode — connect one side to the pin, other side to GND. No external resistors needed.
  3. The buzzer uses two pins for push-pull drive (louder sound).
  4. Important: Make sure both GND rails on the breadboard are connected together!

Test & Experiment

What You Should See

The game starts with a victory sound, then LEDs cycle in an "attract mode" pattern. Press any button to start playing:

  1. A random LED lights up with a tone — press the matching button.
  2. The sequence grows by one each round.
  3. Win after 13 correct rounds! Lose if you press wrong or take too long (3 seconds).

Troubleshooting

  • Only half the circuit works: Make sure both GND rails on the breadboard are connected together!
  • No sound: Check that both buzzer pins are in the correct rows.
  • Buttons not responding: Pay close attention to which pin connects to each button. The INPUT_PULLUP mode means buttons read LOW when pressed.

Experiments to Try

  • Hold the green button during power-up for Battle Mode (2 players).
  • Hold the yellow button during power-up for the Bee Gees easter egg!
  • Modify ROUNDS_TO_WIN to make the game easier or harder.
  • Change ENTRY_TIME_LIMIT to give more or less time per button press.
