Common questions
- What is a memory game?
- A memory game is a card-matching game where you turn over two cards at a time and remember their positions to find pairs. Sakura Memory Game uses Hanafuda cards: two cards from the same month make a match, even when their pictures differ.
- Is it free, and can I play offline?
- The app is free on iOS and Android. Practice and local two-player games can work offline after download; rankings need a connection. Optional rewarded ads refill hearts. Occasional interstitials appear between games, and banners may appear on menu, result, ranking, profile, how-to or character screens, never on the game board.
- How do I match Hanafuda cards if I am a beginner?
- You do not need to know traditional Hanafuda rules. Matching cards carry the same month number, and the in-game guide shows the groups. Try remembering a card's number together with its position, such as the top-left corner, then return to it when you reveal a match.
