How this generator works

Make your first matching game

  1. Add your pairs

    • Cards on the same row belong together; players see them shuffled.
    • Type them in, or use Import a pair list.

  2. Mix words, pictures and sound

    • The small button in front of a card switches it between text, a picture and a sound.
    • A pair can mix them, like a word and its picture.

  3. Choose how players match

    • Above the pairs you pick one of three: drag answers into slots, draw lines between columns, or drag the cards into line.
    • A new game starts with slots.

  4. Play, then share

    • Play shows what players see.
    • Share has the link, the QR code and the print option.

Print as a worksheet

Prints the game the way players see it. The answer key shows every pair matched.

What this maker can do

Did you mean to create a memory game? In memory the cards lie face down and players turn over two at a time to find a pair. Create it in the memory game maker, also here on Puzzel.org.
