The Memory Pairs playbook

Make Memory Pairs your next activity in the game library. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Something to practise

Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Refer to the controls when needed.

What you are aiming for

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Follow these playing steps

  1. Turn over any face-down card.
  2. Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
  3. Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
  4. Continue until every pair is visible.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

See how the rules apply

Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Check the stated objective.

Avoid this misunderstanding

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
