Match Game #1  

Weird Planets

You must find the planet in the grid that is an identical match to the large planet on the right.  Three points when correct, but be careful, you lose a point for each incorrect guess.  This is a game of speed, so you must be quick.  How many planets can you match in only thirty seconds? 

Match Game #2  

Pattern Grid

This eight by seven grid contains twenty-eight matching patterns.  You can select or deselect a block by clicking on it.  If the revealed patterns do not match, the first block selected is reset automatically, leaving the second selected pattern visible.  When a match is found, both blocks selected will vanish, and you can continue guessing by clicking on the remaining blocks.  You must be quick, because this is no easy task.  Can you match all twenty-eight patterns within the two minute time limit?

Match Game #3  

Hidden Colors

 Using the six color slabs on the right, you must select, click, and drag colors to the large empty holes on the top center row, directly beneath the "Answer Plaque".  Once four colors are placed, click the "Guess Colors" button to see the result of your guess.  If correct, the "Answer Plaque" will reveal the match.  If not correct, the four smaller holes to the right will indicate the result as follows: a black swirl indicates a correct color and correct placement; a white swirl means you have the right color, but not in the right hole.  Guess again on the second row, and so on until you find the color match or exceed the ten guess limit.  Use the "Hint" button for help or the "Show Answer" button to end the game.  The timer is only for reference, if you want to play against the clock.  Good luck!
