How to play the memory game

The goal is to flip the cards two at a time and find all the pairs of matching pictures, using as few moves as possible. The pictures are animals and insects as emojis, and the cards are shuffled in every game.

  1. Choose the level: Easy (4x3, 6 pairs), Medium (4x4, 8 pairs) or Hard (6x4, 12 pairs).
  2. Click a card to flip it and a second one to try to make a pair.
  3. If they match, both stay face up and change color. If they are different, they turn face down again after less than a second.
  4. Repeat until you find all the pairs. The Moves counter goes up each time a pair of cards is flipped and the Time starts counting on the first card.
  5. When you finish, your final score appears. Use New game to start over, or change the level, which also restarts the game.

Best score and scoring

The best score is measured in number of moves, and each level has its own. If you finish with fewer moves than the saved best score, the game tells you that you set a new one. The time is shown, but only moves count toward the best score.

Tips to improve

Who it is for

Privacy and how it works

The game works in the browser, with no sign-up and without sending any game data to servers. The best scores for each level are kept in your device's localStorage, and they disappear if you clear the site data or switch browsers. More information in the Privacy Policy.

Frequently asked questions

How does the game count a move?

Each attempt to flip two cards counts as one move, whether they make a pair or not.

Do the cards change places every game?

Yes. In each new game, the cards are shuffled again.

Which level is best to start with?

Easy, with 6 pairs, is good for understanding how it works. Medium is the default and Hard, with 24 cards, demands more memory.

My best score doesn't show up.

The best score is only saved when you complete a game and depends on the browser allowing local storage. In a private window or with storage blocked, it may not be kept.

Can two people play?

There is no multiplayer mode, but you can take turns with another person on each attempt or compare the number of moves on the same level.
