How to Play

Memory Match
  1. All cards start face-down. Click any card to flip it over and reveal the symbol underneath.
  2. Click a second card. If the two symbols match, both cards stay face-up — that's a pair!
  3. If they don't match, both cards flip back over. Try to remember where each symbol was hiding.
  4. Keep flipping until all pairs are matched. Fewer moves = a better score.
💡 Tip: Start by uncovering a few cards systematically — left to right — so you build a mental map of where things are. Don't rush!

Difficulty levels: Gentle uses 12 cards (6 pairs) — a good starting point. Classic uses 16 cards. Challenge uses 20 cards for a real mental workout.

How to Play

Online Chess

Starting a game: One person clicks "Create Game" and gets a 4-letter code. Share that code with your opponent (by phone, message, or in person). They click "Join Game", type in the code, and the game begins. White always moves first.

  1. Click any of your pieces to select it. Small dots appear on the squares it can legally move to.
  2. Click a highlighted square to move your piece there. Your opponent's board updates automatically.
  3. Continue taking turns until the game ends.

The six chess pieces:

♙ Pawn — moves one square forward; captures diagonally. Can move two squares on its very first move.
♖ Rook — moves any number of squares in a straight line (horizontal or vertical).
♗ Bishop — moves any number of squares diagonally. Each bishop stays on its starting colour.
♘ Knight — moves in an "L" shape: two squares in one direction, then one to the side. It can jump over other pieces.
♕ Queen — the most powerful piece — moves any number of squares in any direction.
♔ King — moves one square in any direction. Protect your King above all else!
🏆 Goal: Put your opponent's King in a position where it cannot escape — this is called Checkmate. The King's square glows red when it is in danger (Check). If you cannot make any move, it's a Stalemate and the game is a draw.

How to Play

Mahjong Solitaire

Mahjong Solitaire is a solo tile-matching puzzle with ancient Chinese origins. The goal is simple: remove all 72 tiles from the board by matching them in pairs.

Step 1 — Understand the board. Tiles are stacked in a pyramid of layers. Tiles on higher layers sit on top of tiles below them. You must work from the top down.

Step 2 — Find a "free" tile. A tile is only available when both of the following are true:

  • Nothing is resting on top of it — no tile is stacked directly above it.
  • At least one side is open — there is no tile immediately to its left or to its right (or both sides are open).

Blocked tiles appear slightly dimmed and cannot be clicked. As you remove tiles, more tiles underneath become free.

Step 3 — Match and remove pairs. Click one free tile to select it (it glows green). Then click a second free tile with the same symbol — both tiles disappear from the board.

Tile types and matching rules:

🀐–🀘 Bamboo (1–9) — match two tiles showing the same number. E.g. both "Three of Bamboo" 🀒.
🀇–🀏 Characters (1–9) — match two tiles with the same number in the character suit.
🀙–🀡 Circles (1–9) — match two tiles with the same circle number.
🀀🀁🀂🀃 Winds — East matches East, South matches South, West matches West, North matches North.
🀄🀅🀆 Dragons — Red dragon matches Red, Green matches Green, White matches White.
🌸🌺🌼🎋 Flowers — any two flower tiles match each other, regardless of which flower they show. These are the easiest pairs to spot!

Winning and losing: Clear all 72 tiles to win. If no free pairs remain on the board, the game is stuck — use the Shuffle button (available once) to rearrange the remaining tiles into new positions, or start a fresh New Game.

💡 Strategy: Work from the top layers first — this frees tiles underneath. When two matching tiles are available, think about whether removing them will unblock useful tiles or leave you stuck later. Use Hint (3 times per game) to highlight a valid pair if you cannot spot one.
