Disconumbers

The HireVue Disconumbers game is a timed assessment that combines sequence memory with mental arithmetic. Numbered circles float on screen and light up one at a time. You must select the circles in the same order to replicate the sequence, then add up the numbers in the sequence and pick the correct sum from four answer options. On harder levels the circles start moving and their numbers can disappear while you replay the order.

How to Play

01

Numbered circles appear on screen and light up one at a time — watch the order carefully.

02

Once the whole sequence has been shown, tap the circles in the same order to replicate it.

03

Then add up all the numbers in the sequence and pick the correct sum from the answers below.

04

Levels adapt: sequences grow, numbers get bigger, and circles may move or hide their numbers.

In the real assessment

Disconumbers is part of NATO’s official HireVue battery for internship and YPP screening, alongside Digit Span, Numerosity, and Shape Dance.
