How to play Memory Pairs

A round of Memory Pairs at PT-BUS begins with understanding the objective. Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used. The learning focus here is example-led learning, supported by the rule notes below.

Example-led learning

Read the worked example, identify its key decision, then look for a comparable decision while you play.

Your goal

Match all eight pairs. Your result is the number of two-card turns used.

Step by step

  1. Turn over any face-down card.
  2. Choose a second card. Equal symbols stay visible.
  3. Unequal cards turn back after a short pause.
  4. Continue until every pair is visible.

Controls

Use the on-screen controls with a mouse or touch.

A useful example

Seeing a star at the top left and another star in the bottom row gives you a matching pair on a later turn.

Watch out for this

You cannot turn a third card while a mismatched pair is still being shown.
