Match & Go is one of the easiest brain games to pick up, and one of the most satisfying. Two cards. Each has a handful of symbols. Between the two cards, there is exactly one matching symbol. Find it, tap it, get the next pair of cards.
It is based on a card game you may have played as a child, turned into a pleasant few minutes of visual attention practice.
Where to find it
Go to Activities → Brain Games, and tap Match & Go.
How to play
- Tap Play. Two cards appear, each with a few symbols on it.
- Look at both cards. Exactly one symbol appears on both.
- Tap the matching symbol on either card.
- If you are right, you move to the next pair. If not, try again.
- Keep going as long as you are enjoying it.
Difficulty
Match & Go is the easiest of the brain games. No strict time pressure. No complicated rules. Clear symbols. Big cards. A gentle introduction for anyone who finds other games frustrating.
That said, it is also surprisingly engaging once you get going. Many people play longer than they planned.
What it trains
- Sharp eyes. Quick visual comparison of two images.
- Paying attention. Holding focus on the details without getting distracted.
- Spotting patterns. Your eye learns to sweep two images for similarity.
How long a session takes
Three to seven minutes, depending on how many pairs you go through. Each pair is a few seconds. Stopping between rounds is always fine.
A few small tips
- Pick one card and scan through its symbols first. Then look at the other card, one symbol at a time, and check whether each one is also on the first card. Slower than scanning both at once, but much more reliable.
- Do not panic if the match is not obvious. Sometimes it is small. Sometimes it is in a corner. Take a breath and scan again.
- If you need better lighting or bigger text, close the game and open your device settings. SeniorThrive respects whatever accessibility settings your device has.
