Flip a tile to reveal what's underneath.
Every tile hides half of a pair — a word, a picture, a number, an answer. Tap or click one and it flips face up for the whole class to see.

Memory Tiles
Flip and match hidden tiles.
Concentration, but the pairs underneath are your content. Every flip is a small act of recall, and clearing the board feels like a victory lap.

How to play
Find every matching pair with the fewest flips.
That's the goal — no rules to teach. Here's how a round of Memory Tiles runs.
2
Flip a second tile to try to match it.
Turn over a second to test your memory: a match locks the pair face up, a miss flips both back — so every turn quietly maps a little more of the board.
Matches stay up — clear the board to win.
Matched pairs stay up and count toward the score. Clear the last one in the fewest flips and the board throws its little victory lap.
Ways to play
One deck, three ways to run it
The same Memory Tiles board works as a front-of-class challenge, a live device round, or take-home practice. Pick at press-play — nothing to rebuild.
On the big screen
Project one board and the whole class plays it as a memory challenge — students call which tile to flip and the class quietly maps the board together. No devices, no setup, no codes.
Zero devices · zero prepLive on their devices
Students go to boardee.app/join and type the six-digit code — phones, tablets, chromebooks, any browser. Everyone gets the same deck and races to clear it in the fewest flips.
Join code or QR · no student accountsIn their own time
Share one play link and the same deck becomes homework, revision or early-finisher work. Results roll in as each student finishes — pairs found and time, no chasing.

FAQ
Good to know
How many students can play?
One to four players take turns flipping — a classic pairs duel. On the projector it works as a whole-class memory challenge with students calling tiles.
Do students need devices?
No. It plays perfectly on the projector; students can also join on their own devices with a code or play link.
Can I change the board size?
Yes — pick the column count or let it size itself automatically, so a K-2 board can stay small while your test-prep board grows.
Can AI make the pairs for my topic?
Yes. Topic and grade in, a deck of matching pairs out in under a minute — or write your own.
Do students need accounts?
Never. Students join with a code and a name — no emails, no passwords. Teachers don't need an account to try it either.
