What Is a Memory Match?
A classic game of concentration and pairs
It's a game requiring memory skills and a "good eye", or observation if we want to be more technical. It's a game as old as time. The game is generally played with face-down cards, and it involves players opening cards one by one trying to find the matching pairs. You win when the board is clear.
It has smooth gameplay, a modern design, and all the features you know and love from the classic game. All games in the collection have unlimited free gameplays, tips and hints. You can select different categories and levels, start new games, reset games you already started, share your wins and much more.
Challenge yourself with a random shuffle. Take part in our daily challenge to see if you can win 3 challenges in one month. Keep in mind, these challenges can be difficult, so don't be too hard on yourself.
Fun Fact About Memory Matching Games
Kai-awase (่ฒๅใใ) is a traditional shell game with origins in Japan. The interior of the shells featured elaborate paintings, often representing scenes from traditional Japanese literature. The aim of the game was to find the other half that would fit. Many games were later developed based on it.
How to Play a Memory Match
Simple steps to start playing
- Start the game - Click the restart button to reset the timer and create a new game, or select the game category you want to play.
- Flip over the cards - Select two cards to flip over at a time.
- Focus - Take your time to study the cards after you reveal them and memorize the patterns, colors, and images.
- Match the cards - When you open two cards, they are checked for a match. If they are the same, they are cleared from the board and you continue with the rest.

Benefits of Playing Memory Games
To win any Pairs game, you need to develop a strategy. You use your short-term memory and improve visual recognition. A good short-term memory can influence the long term as well. With every move you keep information in your brain while planning what card to pick next. When you match a pair, you often get new information (a hint) - a fact you didn't know or had forgotten.
So, to keep it simple: it's a fun game with no flashy graphics and no need for your credit card. The best way to protect your data is to keep it for yourself.
