Sports & Games Emoji Matching Game

Every tile on this board comes from sports, music and games. You will see a soccer ball, a basketball, a football, a tennis ball and a pool ball, plus dice, a dartboard, a guitar, a trumpet, a drum, a paint palette, a balloon, a gift, a trophy, a puzzle piece, a game controller, a circus tent and a bowling set. Each board shows 12 tiles, and exactly two of them match. Click both to score, and a new board appears.

Round balls and bright party colors fill every board, so the pair is surrounded by look-alikes from the start. You have 60 seconds, a wrong click costs 2 seconds, and your best score on this board is saved separately from the other modes.

• Check the balls first. Five of the emojis are balls, and they are the most likely to fool you. Compare their patterns and colors before anything else.
• Separate music from sport. Instruments have long, thin shapes, while sports gear is mostly round. That split makes the board quicker to read.
• Use the odd shapes. The trophy, the puzzle piece and the circus tent are unlike anything else on the board, so a pair of them stands out almost at once.
