In this game, you need to look for two identical cards with images, opening them in pairs. At the same time, if the pictures on the two cards do not match, then the cards are turned back, and you need to remember which cards they were. You will be able to improve your skills gradually, thanks to the difficulty levels.

Flip a card, flip another, and when the two pictures match they stay face up. Clear the whole board and the round is won. That is the entire game, and nothing is working against you: no clock, no lives, no score to lose. HOW IT PLAYS - Tap a card to turn it over and see the picture underneath - Tap a second card and try to remember where its twin was - A matched pair stays revealed, a miss simply flips back - Clear every pair on the board to finish the round NO TIMER, NO FAIL STATE Nothing counts down and nothing runs out. Take a second between flips or take a minute. A wrong pick is a soft nudge, never a penalty, so the game moves at whatever pace suits the moment. TEN PICTURE DECKS Animals, fruit, vehicles, sea life, dinosaurs, space, food, sports, weather and shapes. Every deck is a bright, instantly readable set of pictures, so the board never feels the same twice. FIVE BOARD SIZES Start on a 2x2 board with two pairs and work up through 2x3, 3x4 and 4x4 to a 4x5 board with ten pairs. Deck and board size are picked separately, so a quick two-pair round and a long ten-pair one are always one tap apart. EVERY PAIR SAYS ITS NAME Find a match and the picture speaks its English name out loud. It turns a silent round into light listening practice, and it mutes from settings whenever you want the quiet version. BEAT YOUR OWN BEST A move counter runs while you play and your fewest-moves record is kept. Beat it and a New Best celebration says so. The only opponent here is your last round. MADE TO BE SAFE AND FAIR - No ads of any kind: no banners, no interstitials, no rewarded video, no cross-promotion - No tracking and no data collected - No accounts and no sign-in - Plays fully offline, on a plane, in a car, anywhere ONE-TIME UNLOCK Match Mates is free and genuinely complete: three full decks, every board size, replayable forever.
