Brain games are fun, short games that train your memory, focus and cognitive function. They can help with memory, reduce the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's, improve attention span, increase reaction time, and enhance mental agility.

Besides a brain workout and memory test, there are more reasons to play GuessAndMatch. Guessing is one of our core instincts and this game may help hone this skill. To bolster our argument, we like to quote these notable people on art and science of guessing.

❝ A lucky guess is never merely luck. There is always some talent in it.❞ — Jane Austen said that.


The game starts with a hidden name. Can you guess the name?


The Unknown

You'll pick a topic and we'll randomly pick a mystery name from that topic. Guess until you match the mystery name.

Guess The City

The Clues

Each guess you'll make would reveal some clues. Use eliminations and deductions to narrow down to possible match.

Guess The Country

The Egg

You can't just ignore the clues. Eggs would show up if you don't heed the clues. Avoid getting many, or any egg, if you want to show off.

Guess The Team

The Challenge

Guessing a randomly picked name in few tries is no easy task. It requires focus, memory and strategy. Are you up for a test?

Guess The Word

Memory

GuessAndMatch is a memory game. Whether you start with a lucky guess or educated guess, you would need to analyze the clues and use your memory and deduction skills in order to match.

First guess is easy but each next guess would seem like it's there in back of your head, almost on the tip of your tongue except it won't come out correct. You could be scratching your head, like trying to put together all clues in a murder mystery but alas you would keep picking the wrong guy. It's a taxing, vexing and uniquely challenging memory game.

You can always quit and start a new game.
