Memory Match (Android App)

How good is a player’s memory? Touch any tile to “turn it over” and see the picture, and touch another tile to find a match. Kids can compete with a friend in two-player mode or play against a built-in opponent. The game has three levels of play and pairings: Animal to Baby Animal, Picture to Beginning Letter, and Picture to Three-Letter Word. Touch any tile to see what’s there, and then touch another tile to find a match. Try and remember what’s where for more matches. Players hear the face-up letter, animal or word spoken out loud. If the elements in the selected tiles match, then that player wins the pair and plays again. If they do not match, the tiles are automatically turned facedown again, and play passes to the built-in opponent or the second player.

Play continues until the last pair is matched. The winner is the player with the most pairs, with possibility of a tie for first place. An added feature is a mystery picture concealed behind the game board. Each match uncovers part of it. Finishing the game reveals the whole picture! How fast can the player pair up all the tiles?

Choosing “Play” at the end of a game shuffles the puzzle for a new challenge and the opportunity to improve. Names and scores get tracked in the player Hall of Fame. Beat your last score with the next game, and move up in the ranking! This app can also be a good way for adults to stimulate memory and “think fast” skills.
