How to play Shape Pairs

Flip cards and match identical shapes; Shape Pairs is a memory game in 3 rounds. The first round is a 4×4 warm-up table: 8 pairs, no move limit. In the second round, you find the 10 pairs on a 4×5 table in 28 moves, and in the last round, the 15 pairs on a 5×6 table in 42 moves.

Find the pairs of colorful shapes across 3 rounds: a 4×4 warm-up table, then 4×5 and 5×6 tables with a move limit. Keep the cards in mind and uncover every pair before you run out of moves.

Step by step

  1. Tap or click a card to flip it; on a keyboard, move with the arrow keys and flip with Space.
  2. You flip 2 cards on each move. If the shapes match, the cards stay face up; if not, they flip back over after a moment.
  3. Every pair you find earns points; pairs found in a row grow your streak bonus. A wrong match breaks the streak and costs 10 points.
  4. In rounds 2 and 3, the moves you have left are counted at the top. If the table isn’t cleared before you run out, the game ends; clear all 3 tables to win.

Tips

  • Remember the position and shape of every card that flips back; when you flip your first card, think about whether you’ve seen its match before.
  • In the limited rounds, every move you have left earns extra points at the end of the round; clearing the table quickly and in few moves grows your total.
