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.

Disconumbers game FAQ
What is the HireVue Disconumbers game and what does it measure?
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. It assesses Working Memory, Mental Arithmetic and Divided Attention.
How is the Disconumbers game scored, and what is a good score?
HireVue does not publish a pass mark or a score scale for Disconumbers. Employers see percentile-style results benchmarked against other candidates and role models rather than a raw score, and each employer sets its own bar for who advances — so a result that ends one application can pass at another company. Because results are relative, the practical goal is maximizing accurate answers within the time limit. In our simulator levels adapt: sequences grow, numbers get bigger, and circles may move or hide their numbers as you succeed.
Does practicing Disconumbers help?
Yes. By their fifth attempt, players score 20% higher on average on our Disconumbers simulator than a typical first attempt.
How long does the Disconumbers game take, and how many rounds are there?
Our Disconumbers simulator runs for 3 minutes. Levels keep coming until the clock runs out, so there is no fixed number of rounds. In the real HireVue assessment each game is individually timed and there is no pause button once a game starts; most games run three to five minutes each, and you usually get one attempt — retakes are rare.
