How to Play
Q: How do I play the Memory Game?
Tap or click one card to flip it over, then choose a second card. If both cards show the same icon, they stay open. If they do not match, they flip back down after a short moment.
Q: How do I win?
You complete the game by finding every matching pair on the board. Try to finish with as few moves and as little time as possible.
Q: What is a move?
A move is one two-card attempt. Every time you flip two cards, the move counter increases by one.
Q: What are matches?
Matches are the pairs you have successfully found. In a 12-card game there are 6 pairs. In a 16-card game there are 8 pairs.
Game Options
Q: What is the difference between 12 cards and 16 cards?
With 12 cards, you play with 6 pairs. This is faster and easier. With 16 cards, you play with 8 pairs, which makes the game a little more challenging.
Q: Which categories can I choose?
You can choose Mixed, Foods, Activities, or Animals. Each category changes the icon set used for the card pairs.
Q: Can I choose the exact icons myself?
No. Icons are selected randomly from the category you choose. This keeps each new game fresh and prevents the board from feeling predictable.
Q: Are the cards shuffled every time?
Yes. Every new game shuffles the selected card pairs, so the positions change each round.
