About Mahjong Mates: Pair-Matching Solitaire with a Hidden Picture
Mahjong Mates is a calm mahjong solitaire where the matching rule works differently from the usual. Instead of pairing identical tiles, each tile finds its natural partner: the key goes with the lock, the bee goes with the flower, the toothbrush goes with the toothpaste. Clear the layered board pair by pair and a hidden picture gradually comes into focus beneath the tiles. Finish a level and that picture is yours to keep in the Gallery.
The game spans 24 levels across four themed sets — Home, Garden, School, and Travel — with gently rising difficulty. A new Daily Puzzle arrives every day, the same for every player. Every board is designed to be fully solvable with no dead ends, so the experience stays relaxed throughout.
How to Play Mahjong Mates: Clear Every Tile to Reveal the Picture
Select two free tiles that belong together to remove them from the board. A tile counts as free when nothing is stacked on top of it and at least one of its sides — left or right — is open. Work through the board pair by pair until every tile is cleared, which reveals the hidden picture and completes the level.
Three helper tools are available when progress stalls: Undo, Shuffle, and Hint buttons each offer a different kind of assistance without breaking the flow.
Controls
- Mouse click / Touch tap: Select a free tile; tap a matching partner tile to clear the pair
