What it trains

What Find the Pair trains

The game works your visual memory for location: in three seconds you memorize which picture is where, then find the pairs without flipping extra cards. Every miss costs a point, so it pays to remember rather than guess.

Each level has more cards, from four on the first to twenty-four on the tenth, while the time to memorize drops from three seconds to one and a half. On higher levels the pictures look alike: all from one group or all one color. Once you sign up, every game is saved and you can see a chart in your account.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How many levels are there?

Ten levels: 4, 6, 10, 12, 16, 16, 20, 20, 24 and 24 cards. First the pictures come from different groups, then from one group, then all one color, so they get harder to tell apart. After level ten the layout repeats.

What costs points?

Every pair of different pictures you flip. Your score never goes below zero.

Can I flip cards at random?

You can, but every miss costs a point. It pays more to memorize the pictures during the three-second preview and recall where they are.
