Animal Pairs
Animal Pairs is a memory game whose difficulty is honestly about how long you are allowed to look. The three tiers are named for group sizes and change the board as well as the clock: Pup deals a 3x4 grid of six pairs and leaves a mismatch face-up for a full second, Pack moves to 4x4 and eight pairs at six-tenths, and Zoo keeps the larger board but flips back after 0.28 seconds -- barely a quarter of Pup's window. That makes Zoo a test of attention rather than memory, since the limit is whether you registered the card at all. The animals are drawn rather than photographed, so pairs are told apart by shape rather than by colour alone. Free in the browser, no download and no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you play Animal Pairs?âž
Flip two cards at a time to find matching animal faces. Matched pairs stay up; mismatched ones turn back after a short peek.
What do Pup, Pack and Zoo change?âž
Grid size and peek time. Pup is 3x4 with six pairs and a one-second peek, Pack is 4x4 with eight at 0.6 seconds, and Zoo is 4x4 at 0.28.
Why is Zoo harder than Pack if the board is the same?âž
Because the peek drops from 0.6 to 0.28 seconds. The layout is identical -- what changes is whether you get long enough to take the card in.
Is it suitable for younger players?âž
Pup is the gentler setting: a smaller grid, six pairs and a full second to see a mismatch before it turns back.
How many pairs are there?âž
Six on Pup, and eight on Pack and Zoo.
Is Animal Pairs free?âž
Yes, free in the browser on desktop and mobile with no download and no signup.
