What it is
Memory Match is a branded card-matching game designed for live event environments. Players tap cards to reveal hidden images and race to find matching pairs before the timer runs out. Simple enough for any audience, competitive enough to keep people coming back.
Sessions run 20-45 seconds, making it one of the highest-throughput games on the platform — ideal for busy activations where you need volume of engagement without sacrificing quality of experience.
20-45 Seconds per round
Suitable for large audience volumes
How it works
Step 1: Player Approaches the Screen
The game displays a grid of face-down branded cards. The player taps to start — no instructions needed, the mechanic is immediately intuitive.
Step 2: Find the Pairs
Cards flip to reveal branded images. Players must remember what they've seen and find matching pairs as quickly as possible before the timer expires.
Step 3: Score and Result
The game displays the player's score and time. If leaderboards are enabled, the player sees where they rank. Prize mechanics can trigger at this point based on score thresholds or random draw.
Step 4: Lead Capture
Players enter their details to save their score, claim a prize, or opt into brand communications — captured automatically into the PlayHive dashboard.

How difficult is Memory Match to set up?
Setup takes minutes. Upload your card artwork, set your difficulty level and prize mechanic, and the game is ready to run. No technical knowledge required.
Can we change the difficulty to suit different audiences?
Yes. Grid size, number of cards, and timer length are all adjustable. You can set a simpler configuration for family-friendly events and a harder version for competitive audiences.
Can the leaderboard reset between sessions?
Yes. You can choose to reset the leaderboard between individual sessions, between event days, or run a cumulative competition across the full activation.
What images can we use on the cards?
Any brand-owned imagery — product shots, campaign visuals, character assets, or abstract brand graphics. Our team can advise on image sizing and formatting if needed.
