Pair Up
Tap a card to flip it, then another. A matching pair stays face up; a miss flips back. Every board has a flip budget — clear all the pairs before it runs out to bank points and move to a bigger board.

Pair Up — a free online arcade game on TotType
Pair Up is the pairs game: cards face down, flip two, keep the matches. Here the boards grow with you — 4×4, then 4×5, 5×6 and 6×6 — and every board comes with a budget of flips, so the challenge is memory rather than patience. Clear a board and you bank 20 points per pair plus 5 for every flip you had left; run out of flips and the game ends. Faces are big, friendly emoji, and the cards are sized for a thumb on a phone. It's free in any browser with no download — the arcade just needs a free parent account with a verified email.

How to play Pair Up
Tap a card to flip it, then another. A matching pair stays face up; a miss flips back. Every board has a flip budget — clear all the pairs before it runs out to bank points and move to a bigger board.
Tips & tricks
- On the first pass, flip cards in a fixed order (left to right, row by row) so their positions are easy to recall.
- When you reveal a face you have seen before, pair it immediately — a known match is the cheapest flip in the game.
- Spare flips are worth 5 points each, so a clean board is worth more than a lucky one.
Frequently asked questions
How do you play Pair Up?
Tap a card to flip it, then tap another. If the two faces match they stay up; if not they flip back. Find every pair before the flip budget runs out to clear the board and move to the next level.
What happens when the flips run out?
The game ends and your total is posted to the arcade leaderboard. Each cleared board earns 20 points per pair plus 5 for every flip left over.
How big do the boards get?
Four levels: 4×4 (8 pairs), 4×5 (10 pairs), 5×6 (15 pairs) and 6×6 (18 pairs); after that every board is 6×6.
