Introducing the Family Memory Game

MyHeritage.com is pleased to announce the arrival of another new website feature: the family memory card game.

The memory game is a great way to have fun with the family or enjoy a few minutes’ distraction by yourself.

It works much like a conventional memory card game. There’s a big difference between this and any other memory card game, however, and that’s because this is personalized to your family. MyHeritage.com will automatically generate picture cards from the closest relatives in your tree – and can even include a live picture of one player via webcam. With the cards laid face down, players turn them over two at a time until a match is made. The winner is the person who reveals the most matching pairs.

Fun and engaging for the whole family -  the game provides a great opening to introduce the younger members of your family to the lives of their ancestors. Featuring a maximum of 16 pairs of cards, it’s possible to include several different generations in any game.You can play in competition with another family member, or by yourself against the clock.

The game is free to all users. You can access it simply by clicking on the ‘Activities’ tab on your family site, and then on ‘Games’.

To enable you to play-on-the-go you can order the actual printed cards from MyHeritage.com. You can choose the design of the cards and up to 30 relatives (totally 60 cards) that you wish to be included in the printed version. Birth & death dates and locations are also featured on the cards, providing this information is in your family tree. The printed cards are great for family holidays and reunions and with international shipping, you can send as a gift to family all over the world.

Now let’s find out who has the best memory in the family!
