Memory Match

Memory Match hides eight pairs of shapes behind 16 cards. Turn over two cards at a time. Matching shapes stay face up; different shapes remain visible briefly and then turn back over. Find all eight pairs to complete a round. There is no countdown, so you can concentrate on positions and remember what you have already seen.

The TOFTI board uses distinct geometric symbols including triangles, circles, stars, squares, diamonds, hearts, crosses and hexagons. Every symbol has a colour, but matching does not depend on colour alone. Selecting a pair counts as one move. On your first attempt, aim simply to find every pair. Later, try to finish in fewer moves. The result shows your move count and the time since you selected the first card.

Remember a card's position as well as its symbol. If you saw a star in the top-right corner, return there when another star appears instead of searching a new area. Looking for a known partner is more deliberate than repeatedly opening two unfamiliar cards. Thinking in rows, columns or four small board regions can make positions easier to describe to yourself.

New game shuffles all the cards. This edition's code and symbols were created for TOFTI, without advertising or third-party tracking libraries. You can play without providing personal information. Round data is not sent to a server, and refreshing starts a new board. This is an entertainment game; it makes no medical or educational claim about improving memory.

How to play

Click or tap one card, then choose a second. A matching pair stays face up with a green background. A mismatched pair is shown for roughly a second; further selections are temporarily blocked until those cards close.

Use Tab or the arrow keys to move between cards, and Enter or Space to select. Find all eight pairs to finish. New game reshuffles the board and resets the move count.

First-round tip: think of the board as four small regions. Before opening your second card, ask whether you already know the matching symbol's location. If not, try another region to learn a new position.
