It is the memory card game you know: flip two cards, find the pair. What is different here is that the app also teaches you the technique for remembering where things are - seven lessons, each one you can try on the board immediately. ■ Memory Tips - 7 lessons 1. Fix a scan order - sweep the board the way you read a page 2. Hold only three pairs - trying to hold everything is why everything slips 3. Turn pictures into words - say "red apple" in your head 4. Tie the picture to the place - "the cat lives at B2" 5. Take the pairs you already know - collect before you gather more 6. Recall before it fades - run through what you memorised 7. Use your opponent's turn - the cards they flip are your information too Read a lesson, then play it. A move target tells you whether it stuck. Note: what you learn here is technique for remembering where things are. It helps in this game and in everyday moments like where you put your keys. We claim nothing beyond that. ■ 7 ways to play - Solo - beat your own best - 2 Players - take turns on one device - VS Bot - practise against an AI whose strength you pick - Online Battle - real-time matches with players worldwide - Friend Battle - share a room code and play with a friend - Rhythm - find pairs by sound and vibration - Photo - your own photos become the cards (photos stay on this device and are never uploaded) ■ Four difficulties Easy 6 pairs / Normal 10 pairs / Hard 15 pairs / Master 21 pairs ■ Three helpers (one free use each) - Flash - the matching two cards light up - Glance - four unseen cards turn face up for an instant - Replay - shows the two cards you just flipped again ■ See yourself improve - Memory Score (0-999). Fewer moves, faster, harder board means higher - A score trend graph and your current rank - Leaderboards for today, this month and all time - Day streaks - the days you kept it up stay on the record ■ Make it yours 11 card art sets, 14 card backs (8 traditional Japanese patterns), 10 backgrounds.
