Aerial Silk Artist Memory Match

Aerial Silk Artist Memory Match is a sliding tile puzzle themed around aerial silk performance, the circus discipline where an acrobat climbs, wraps and drops from lengths of fabric suspended from above. The images are all motion and long vertical lines of cloth, which turns out to suit this kind of puzzle well.

You are rebuilding each picture by sliding tiles into a single empty square until the image is whole. The performer's body and the sweep of the silks give you strong diagonal lines to work from, which makes this one of the more readable puzzles of its type.

How to Play Aerial Silk Artist Memory Match

Tap or click any tile next to the empty space and it slides across, leaving the gap where it came from. Keep going until every piece of the photograph is back in place.

A sliding puzzle never lets you place a tile directly, so getting a piece home means routing the empty square around the board until it arrives next to that piece from the correct side. Planning where the gap travels is the skill.

Controls

• Mouse: click a tile bordering the empty square.
• Touch: tap to slide.
• Goal: reassemble the complete image.

Tips and Tricks

• Follow the fabric. The silks form long continuous lines across several tiles and are the fastest way to work out what connects to what.
• Place the performer's head and hands early. They are the most distinctive tiles on the board.
• Finish the top row first and then leave it untouched while you work down.
• If a tile seems to fit in two places, check the direction of the fabric folds rather than the colour.
• Save the bottom two rows for a single combined effort. They cannot be solved one row at a time.

Who This Game Is For

This is a calm puzzle with unusually attractive source images, and it suits anyone who wants something to occupy ten quiet minutes. The circus theme gives it more visual interest than the average tile puzzle.

It is not a difficult game and there is no failure state, so players who want to be challenged should look at the timed puzzles in our library instead.
