Matching game maker

To create your Matching Game online, simply give a title to Ray, your AI assistant. Ray will generate groups with their elements for the Matching game based on the subject you specify. You can review and make changes before publishing it. Ray can also create your game from a piece of text.

Alternatively, if you prefer to create the game manually, you can skip Ray and introduce the names of the groups and the elements for each card yourself.

Can I add pictures and audios to my Matching Game?

Absolutely! Your Matching Game creator allows you to include text, audio, pictures, or a combination of them on your cards. You can even use animated gifs.

How many cards can I create for each group?

You can create between 2 and 10 cards for each group, but we recommend having at least 3 elements in each group.

For groups of 2 elements, other game types like Matching Pairs and Memory are better suited.

Can I add distractors?

Yes, you can. Just turn on the 'Wrong cards' option to add a set of cards that do not belong to any of the groups but work as distractors.

Can I set a time limit?

Yes! By default, there is no time limit, but you can turn on the 'Time' option to set a maximum time to complete the game.

Can I decide if errors are penalized?

Yes, you have the option to use it both for learning and for evaluation purposes. By default, mistakes made by players do not affect the score, but if you turn on the Penalize mistakes option, mistakes will impact the score, and you can define how many they can make.

With your free Basic Plan, you can create as many Matching Games as you like, and they can be played by an unlimited number of people simultaneously.

Once you publish it, you can simply copy the game's link to share or upload it anywhere. You can also copy the embed code and paste it onto your webpage.

How many people can play the game?

There is no limit on the number of people that can play your games, even if they play simultaneously.

Can I print the game?

The Matching Game generator doesn’t have a tutorial yet, but we’ll post it here as soon as we have it ready.

Look at the group mentioned above and select all the cards with elements that are from that group to collect them. Then the panel will reset. Repeat the operation until you collect all the cards from all groups.

To select a card, simply press it or click it.

To enlarge the images, press on the magnifying glass in the upper right corner of the card.

To play or pause the audio, press on the icon in the upper right corner of the card.

If you want to save your grade, identify yourself before playing. Tap/click on 'Press here to identify yourself' and enter a Nickname, an invitation code, or log in before starting.

Once you finish the game, your score will be automatically saved, and the author of the game can view it in the Reports section.

If you are logged in as a user or as a guest, you can also view your scores in your own Reports section.

You begin with 0 points and earn up to 100 depending on the cards you collect.

The total score is divided by the number of cards. For instance, if there are 10 cards, each is worth 10 points.

By default, your score remains unaffected by mistakes in the game, allowing you to achieve the maximum score if you complete all the words. However, if the game's author has enabled the 'Penalize mistakes' option, your mistakes will indeed impact your final score.

In this case, the maximum score for a panel decreases by half each time you make a mistake with it. After the third error, the score for that panel will be reduced to zero.

If the 'Penalize mistakes' option is enabled, you will indeed have a set number of lives, and you will lose one life with each mistake.

The remaining number of lives would be displayed in the top-left corner of the screen.

By default, there is no time limit, but the author can turn on the 'Time' option to set a maximum time to complete the game.

The remaining time would be displayed in the bottom-left corner of the screen.

If you are stuck and want to exit the game, press the 'Settings' button, then click 'Quit'. The game will end, and your current score will be saved.
