About the Classic Fairy Tales Memory Game
The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and Charles Perrault wrote their fairy tales in the 1800s — all public domain. Cinderella's slipper, Snow White's apple, Rapunzel's tower and Red Riding Hood's basket all star here, drawn from the original texts rather than any modern adaptation.

How to Play
Tap any card to flip it over, revealing the fairy-tale icon image underneath. Tap a second card — if the two match, they stay face up and you keep going. If not, they flip back after a moment. Your goal is to match every pair in as few moves as possible.
Three difficulty levels are available: easy (6 pairs), medium (8 pairs) and hard (12 pairs). Start on easy if you're new, or jump straight to hard for a proper brain workout.
