How do you play the memory game?

Tap two cards to turn them over. The same picture is a pair and stays up; two different pictures turn back, so remember where they were. Clear the board in as few moves as you can. Pick a board from 12 to 36 cards, or play 2 players on one device.

How to play the memory game

  1. Tap a card to turn it over, then tap a second card.
  2. Two cards with the same picture are a pair: they stay face up.
  3. Two different cards turn back after a moment. Remember where they were.
  4. Find every pair in as few moves as you can. One move is two cards.

With 2 players, take turns on one phone or computer. Find a pair and you go again; miss and the other player goes. The player with the most pairs wins.

Tips for a better memory score

  • Turn cards in order, row by row, at the start, so you know which ones you have seen.
  • Say the picture and its place in your head, like star, top left.
  • When you turn a new card, think first: have I seen its pair? Only then pick the second card.
  • Start with Easy, 12 cards, and move up to Expert, 36 cards, when you clear a board in few moves.
