It offers both a gallery and a game mode, allowing the player to select a photo of his choice and, by clicking on its center, to start the game. Identical tiles will remain open.

+Uster Memory is a fully playable tile-matching game. It offers both a gallery and a game mode, allowing the player to browse and pick a photo of his choice and, by clicking on its center, to start the game. The selected photo is virtually cut into 20 separate cards, any of which will be duplicated. The cards are turned upside down and randomly shuffled. On click (or tap) the cards will turn, a moves counter at the bottom keeps the score. Matching tiles will remain open, unequal cards will be hidden again. Once all matching tiles are found, the game will return into gallery mode indicating the final score.
