About

NameMatch

Features
Read full description

How many names can you remember? NameMatch is an endless face-and-name memory challenge that starts simple and gets tougher with every level. Study each group of faces, remember their names, and identify the right person when the names disappear. You have only three lives for the entire run. Each wrong answer costs one life. Lose all three and the game is over—you will begin again from Level 1. The farther you climb, the more faces you must remember and the less time you have to study them. BUILD YOUR BEST RUN - Endless levels with steadily rising difficulty - Three lives across the entire run - More faces and shorter study time at higher levels - Score rewards for correct answers, streaks, and perfect levels - Fresh face combinations on every run TRACK YOUR MEMORY Your private offline profile records: - Best level - High score - Overall accuracy - Longest correct-answer streak - Runs played and names matched - Perfect levels - Recent run history FREE TO PLAY Every level is available for free. NameMatch is supported by ads, with an optional one-time purchase to remove ads forever. Ads are never placed on the active memorization or matching screen. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE No account or sign-in is required. Your gameplay statistics and run history are stored locally on your device, and the game can be played offline. All portraits used in NameMatch are AI-generated and do not depict real people. Start at Level 1, protect your three lives, and discover how far your memory can take you.
