Dumpling Pair
Read full descriptionHide full description
Flip, match, and meet the crew! Dumpling Pair is a cozy memory game — the classic "find the matching pair" concentration game, starring a cast of adorable dumplings, made for the whole family. Tap two cards to flip them over. Find a matching pair and they stay up; miss and they flip back. Clear the whole board as fast as you can, earn up to three stars, and beat your best time. Simple enough for little kids, with enough depth — five grid sizes, three modes, and a daily streak — to keep grown-ups hooked too. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Classic — Flip and match at your own pace. Use Peek and Hint power-ups when you get stuck. • Memorize — The whole board flashes face-up for a few seconds, then flips down. Pure memory, no peeking. • Daily — One special board a day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak alive! FIVE DIFFICULTIES From Cozy (a gentle 3×4 with lots of help) all the way up to Master (a 6×6 brain-bender with no help at all). Harder grids hand out fewer power-ups, so a clean three-star clear really means something. COLLECT THE CREW Thirteen cheerful dumpling friends are hidden in the deck — Star Shrimp, Heart Bun, Bunny Bao, Cool Onigiri, Royal Ramen, Sleepy Mochi, Disco Boba, the Rainbow Dragon, and more. Match a friend's pair to add them to your Collection and discover them all. MADE FOR FAMILIES • No ads. Ever. • No accounts, no logins, nothing to sign up for. • No data collected — everything stays on your device. • Plays fully offline. Flip a card, find a friend, and beat your best. Download Dumpling Pair and start matching!
