Kiwi Cat Paw Pairs

About the Game

Kiwi Cat Paw Pairs is an original memory card game from Kiwi Cat Games. Every card starts face down and you flip two at a time. If they match, they stay face up; if not, they flip back over, so you need to remember where you saw them. Match every card to clear the level. The cards show 10 different cats plus 10 cat favorites, from fish and yarn balls to bells, cans of tuna and kiwis.

There are 30 levels, growing from 6 cards on a 2×3 grid to 36 cards on a 6×6 grid. Later levels add twists: timed levels where you race the clock, levels that give you a 3-second peek at the start, mischief levels where two face-down cards secretly swap places every few moves, and triple sets where you need to find three matching cards. Each level awards 1 to 3 stars based on moves and time.

There's also a Daily Challenge. The layout is set by today's date, so everyone gets the same deck on the same day – compare your move count with friends. Level progress, stars and daily records are saved in your browser. Every card design and sound was drawn and synthesized in code by Kiwi Cat Games, and Kiwi Cat cheers you on from the side.

How to Play Kiwi Cat Paw Pairs

1. Press Start Game and choose a level (only level 1 is open at first; each win unlocks the next), or play the Daily Challenge at the top.
2. Tap a face-down card to flip it, then flip a second one. If the two match, they stay on the table.
3. If they don't match, they stay up for a moment and flip back. Remember where they are so you can go straight to them later.
4. Cards marked “×3” in the corner are triple sets – flip all three to make a match. In mischief levels, two cards wobble before they swap, so watch where they go.
5. Match every card to clear the level. Fewer moves and less time earn more stars (up to 3). If a timed level runs out, just try again.

Tips and Strategy

• Don't flip at random. Flip a card you haven't seen yet first – if you've already seen its partner, go straight to it for the second flip.
• Flip in a fixed order, such as row by row from the top left. It makes positions much easier to remember.
• Give the pictures nicknames or say them in your head (“top left is the ginger cat, next to it is the tuna can”). It sticks far better than just looking.
• On sneak-peek levels, focus on memorizing one or two corners rather than the whole table.
• In mischief levels, two cards wobble before swapping. Follow them with your eyes and you won't be fooled.
• For triple sets, find all three positions first and flip them in one go. If the third card doesn't match, all three flip back.
