Little Pairs

Little Pairs is a memory match game in the browser, made by At Yours, a site of games for playing at home and on a shared screen. The cards show small illustrated characters and objects, such as a penguin with a suitcase, a fox in a coat or a bear holding a book, and every card has a twin somewhere on the board.

The daily boards change at midnight UTC. There are two of them: a gentle board of six pairs and a larger one of ten pairs, and each has a stable shuffle for the day, so everyone who plays that day faces the same layout. When you want to play again, a fresh shuffle deals a new arrangement whenever you like.

A turn is two cards. If they match, they stay face up; if not, they turn back after a short look, and you have to remember what you saw. In solo or together mode the game counts your turns, and your best count for each board size is saved in the browser so you can try to beat it. In two-player mode both people share one device: a match scores a point and earns another turn, a miss hands the turn over, and the higher total wins, with ties possible.

There is no account, download or payment, no paid unlock and no public leaderboard. Progress saves in the browser and resumes after a reload. Cards can be chosen by tapping or with the keyboard, and the game follows reduced-motion settings. Its pictures and simple rules suit young children, who can point while an adult works the screen, and it works as a short game for a family to play together.
