Flash Pairs

Every card is shown face up for a few seconds, then turned over: match them from memory against the clock. Each round is a bigger board and a shorter look. A wrong pair costs two seconds, and a round without one is worth double.

Flash Pairs tests short-term memory. Every card is shown face up for a few seconds, then turned over, and you match the pairs from what you remember — against a clock that keeps running between rounds.

How to play Flash Pairs

Look at the board while every card is face up. The clock does not run during the look.
When the cards turn over, find the pairs from memory.
Each round brings a bigger board and a shorter look.
A wrong pair costs two seconds off the clock.

Scoring

Every pair scores, and a round cleared without a wrong pair is worth double.
The game ends when the clock runs out or the last round is cleared.

No clock

Choose No clock to keep the looks but lose the clock: a wrong pair costs no time and every round is played out, with nothing added for time left over. A no-clock game keeps its own best.

Tips

During the look, learn the board in rows or in pairs of rows rather than card by card.
If you are unsure of one card, find the pairs you are sure of first.

Play it with friends

On your own, against the characters — each plays the game by its own rules the moment it starts, so there is always somebody to beat.
With friends, each on their own phone or laptop: one of you shows a code, the others type it in, and everybody gets exactly the same game on the same Go.
Taking turns on one device — pass it round, and each turn is scored against the turns before.
