Memory Game

Memory Game is a Halloween version of the old card matching game. Twenty-four cards lie face down over a purple night sky with a haunted house on the hill, and under them are twelve pairs of Halloween pictures such as a mummy, a witch, a grim reaper and a jar of eyeballs.

How to play Memory Game

• Tap a card to turn it face up, then tap a second one. That pair of flips is one turn.
• Two matching pictures clear off the board for good. Anything else flips back down after a second.
• Nothing is timed, and tapping a card that is already face up does nothing, so there is no penalty for a misfire.
• Clear all twelve pairs and the game tells you how many turns it took, then deals a fresh shuffled board. That turn count is the only score.

Tips

• Early on, open cards you have not seen yet instead of guessing at pairs. Even when they do not match, you learn two positions for later.
• The set includes two different witches, plus a trick-or-treat bag with a pumpkin and a separate carved pumpkin. Remember the exact picture as well as its position.

Clear it once, then see if the next board goes quicker.
