How to Play

The Goal

All tiles start face down. Flip two at a time to find matching pairs. A match stays face up; if the two don't match, they flip back. Clear the whole board to win. Every game is scrambled with new symbols.

Levels

  • Beginner: 4 × 3 grid, 6 pairs
  • Intermediate: 5 × 4 grid, 10 pairs
  • Advanced: 6 × 5 grid, 15 pairs

Modes

Relaxed: no countdown. Finish under the target time (60s / 120s / 180s) for a bonus.

Timed: clear the board before the clock runs out. Every second left over earns bonus points.

Bonus Tokens

Sneak Peek: match the pair with the eye to earn one. Press Peek to see every tile for a moment.

Clock (Timed mode): match the pair with the clock for +10 seconds.

Scoring

  • +100 for every match
  • +50 more for each match in a row (2nd +50, 3rd +100, ...)
  • −10 for every wrong guess
  • Time bonus when you win: +10 per second left (Timed) or +5 per second under target (Relaxed)

Tips

Use the arrow keys and Enter to play with a keyboard. Play upright or sideways — the board adjusts. Log in to save your scores and climb the leaderboard.
