How to Play

Tap any card to flip it over, revealing the 80s 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.
