EOL Memory GameThe EOL Species Match Memory Game is a classic game of Memory - remember where you saw a species and try to find its match! There is also a quiz that challenges you to match species names with the pictures.
You can create your own customized Memory Game using an EOL Collection. This tutorial will show you how.
***The EOL Species Match Memory Game is currently in development. We are collecting feedback about how to improve this game and take it to the next level!
