Find the pair. Open a path. Clear the board. Goofer Numbers is a colorful number matching puzzle: choose two equal numbers, or two numbers that add up to 10.

Adventure levels introduce special tiles and reward completed levels with stars. PLAN YOUR NEXT MATCH Quick successive matches build combos.
