Match - Lock & Key - Heart Shape

Print your own matching hearts

How do you play customised match games with unequal pairs?

Everyone has played matching pairs. Every one has played matching pairs with photo tiles. But matching photo hearts is a little bit special. And the pairs stand out even more when they are not identical but complement each other, linked by a common theme - as chosen by you. 

As usual, all tiles are shuffled and arranged face down before the starting player chooses two tiles and turns them face up. If they make a pair–as one heart shows a childhood photo of the adult smiling on the other heart, for instance – the player bags the pair and takes another turn. Otherwise, she turns the tiles face down again and the next player takes his turn. Whoever collects the most pairs wins the game. 

The right mix of luck, strategy, and fun?

Concentration is a family game classic. The twist added by the type of bond linking the matching hearts, can make the game a lot more complex. Simple themes, such as  heart showing a person or an object linked to the heart showing a zoomed detail of the same person or object, make for great playing experiences even for smaller kids. If you have to, say, make the link between an artist's self-portrait and one of his other pictures, things can get a lot more challenging pretty quickly.

Some ideas for designing matching, but not identical, hearts Our matching but unidentical pairs are just pure joy because our customers get so creative. Traditionally, heart-shaped pairs suit couples and any related occasions. So they make for amazing wedding gifts, celebrating anniversaries, Valentine's Day and the like But this does not exclude pets and their owners; proud motorists and their machines; families and their unique and personal games; and whatever you choose to come up with. 

Common variants

Baby or childhood photos and matched with adult picutres of all the wedding guests Wedding guests on their own and together on a photo with the bride and groom Pictures of the couple, with one heart showing her, the other heart showing him Photos of the couple from different stages in their lives, or celebrating special moments.  Holiday photos, with the couple matched to the location where the photos was taken Wedding photos, with one heart showing the total, matched to another showing a zoomed detail Wedding guests as pairs, with each heart showing one half of the respective pair plus so many, many more... We constantly work to maximise your creative freedom. As many of our customers do not use photos for the tiles' backs but prefer the date of the wedding, or the names of the pair, we have created a few convenient text templates. Because our matching hearts are always special, we deliver them in high quality metal boxes, which you can design, too - choose from a range of templates, arrange a photo, or two, or many, and place a personal message for the couple, from the couple, or... it's up to you!
