Name Tags is a free daily memory game. A few new people join the team each day. Look at their faces and names, then the name tags come off and everyone changes places. Your job is to put every tag back on the right person. Monday is 4 people. Friday is 7 people with teams, and they have swapped shirts.
No sign-up and nothing to install. It runs in your browser on a computer or a phone, and your progress is saved on your device.
- Study as long as you like. There is no clock on the first look.
- Every tag is checked at once. A right tag stays. A wrong one counts as a mistake.
- Three mistakes send you back. You look at the team again and start the matching over.
- Stuck? The lightbulb places one tag for you. Hints are free.
How to play Name Tags
- Tap “Meet the team” and look at each face and name.
- Tap “Ready”. The tags come off and the people change places.
- Drag a tag onto the face it belongs to. You can also tap the tag and then the face, or the face first.
- Match every tag before you make three mistakes.
What changes during the week
| What | How it works | First appears |
|---|---|---|
| Name tag | A white tag with a red edge. One per person. | Monday |
| Team tag | A coloured tag such as Sales or IT. One per person. | Wednesday |
| Look-alikes | Two people wear the same hairstyle. Look at hair colour, glasses and beards. | Wednesday |
| Shirt swap | After the first look, shirts and backgrounds move to other people. Only the faces stay the same. | Thursday |
Tips for remembering names
- Say the name with one feature. “Marcus, grey beard” sticks better than a name alone.
- Do not rely on shirts. From Thursday the shirts move. Hair, glasses and beards do not.
- Start with the faces you are sure about. Every right tag makes the rest easier.
- Pair look-alikes on purpose. When two people share a hairstyle, note the one thing that differs.
- Learn name and team as one item. “Julia from Legal” is one thing to remember, not two.
How the week gets harder
| Day | People | What is new |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 4 | Names only. |
| Tuesday | 5 | One more person. |
| Wednesday | 5 | Each person also has a team. Two people look alike. |
| Thursday | 6 | They swap shirts before the matching. |
| Friday | 7 | The biggest group, with two pairs of look-alikes. |
Saturday plays like a Wednesday and Sunday like a Tuesday.
