DO NOT RANDOMIZE THE MEMORY GAME CARD GAME!

It makes clearing it a matter of luck and rng rather than actul memory and skill plus for most players, the only way they clear the damned things is by getting lucky and first try matching most of them since the timer is also so stupidly short. simply put: If you don't have at least 8 matches by the time you hit the 20 second marker, you may as well take your hands off your mouse and keyboard and wait for it to tick to zero because YOU ARE NOT CLEARING IT.

    To me the biggest issue with the memory game is the time to animate the card flips. The animation is way too long for the limited clock time. Plus, there is a wait time for them to go face-down before you take another guess. If the powers that be got rid of the flip animations and went straight to an instant reveal, we might have a realistic chance with the current clock.

    Alas, we have complained and complained and complained about the mini game in the past. While our complaints weren't totally ignored, the response from the developers on this has been minimal. I think they gave us an option to skip the mini-game in whichever generation implemented it as part of the story (I can't recall if that was just a special generation completion event or if the option is permanent).

    The flip time seemed slightly faster in the summer beach event they just held -- but not enough to matter. I gave the game a couple of tries and then just ignored it. The memory game, as designed, is a pure waste of time for the reasons you mentioned.

    is this for the one from the summer event that just passed?
    I clicked every next card and found it easier to remember the locations of given matches that way.

    No, its G23's FIRST QUEST. It requires you to clear the memory game puzzle to progress the questchain...

    Edit: I've made an official support request for them to update my character data as having cleared the Winter Festival questline's memory game and no farther. I quite literally lack the mental ability to clear it so hopefully they accept my request and do me this small favor...

    I feel like removing the random aspect of it takes away the whole point of it being a memory match. They'd be better off increasing the timer because yeah it is way too short with all the wait time we're forced to do with flip animations. Increasing the time limit or removing animations would be ideal.

    ....that defeats the entire purpose of it being a memory match game.

    Oh, the same applies. I used the tactic I mentioned before when I had done it and if I failed, I just kept trying until I got it.

    It's been a minute. Did the support team help you with this or?
