Flip the tiles, find the match, keep your turn. MindSharp is a calm yet competitive matching game played with colorful numbered tiles. Play a quick round over a cup of tea, or make your way room by room along the Adventure Path. If you enjoy pair-matching, card matching and puzzles, every board rewards attention and a well-chosen move. ADVENTURE PATH — 106 LEVELS, 14 ROOMS From the study to the tea room, from the library to the tower: travel through 14 chapters. Aim for three stars on every level by making each move count. The Naughty Cat shuffles tiles, the Wobbly Table slides a row, the Flickering Candle dims the lights for a moment and the Grumpy Clock swaps tiles over time. When you need a hand, X-Ray, Hold the Light, Undo, Star Insurance and other Jokers are ready. The Treasure Room waits at the end of the path. DUEL — REAL PLAYERS Take turns with your rival, flip tiles and claim the pairs. Lose and ask for a rematch. Send a friend a duel on WhatsApp: you play now, they play the same board later. No app? They can play on the web. WHATSAPP GROUP RACE Send your group the same board. Everyone gets one try and the race stays open for 24 hours. Fewest moves wins. DUELISTS See your wins, draws and losses on the Today, This Week and All-Time tables. Tap a name to send a challenge.
