How to play
The basics
Match the monkeys in pairs to clear the pile. Tap a free card to flip it, then tap it again to send it to the cage. Two of the same monkey in the cage clear together. The cage holds four cards, so if it fills up, the level is over. A card is locked while another card sits on top of it.
Helpers
- Undo takes back your last move. You get 2 on each level.
- Shuffle mixes the cards still on the board. You get 1 on each level.
- Joker Caulin is a wildcard: in the cage he pairs with the oldest other card.
- Kevin Kelly never takes a cage slot. Tap him and every face-down card flips up for a few seconds.
- Peek: drag a card that's covering another one aside to see what's underneath.
Stuck on a level?
Every level is dealt the same way each time, and every deal can be solved. Try Retry Level and plan which cards to leave in the cage. You can also switch to Easy in Settings.
Your progress
Your level, best times, streak and settings save on your iPhone automatically. If iCloud is on, they're also saved to your iCloud account, so your progress carries over to a new iPhone or after you reinstall the game. Use the same Apple ID and make sure iCloud is turned on in Settings.
On Android, your progress saves on your phone and is included in your phone's Google backup, so it comes back when you reinstall the game or set up a new phone with the same Google Account. Make sure backup is turned on in your phone's settings.
Leaderboards
Pick a nickname to join the in-game leaderboard. Please don't use your real full name. You can change your nickname in Settings.
See a nickname that's offensive? Tap that player on the leaderboard and choose Report Name or Hide Player. Reported names are hidden from everyone after several reports.
If you're signed in to Game Center, your scores also appear on the Game Center leaderboards (Troop Rating and Highest Level). Tap the Game Center button on the home screen to see them.
On Android, if you're signed in to Google Play Games, your scores also appear on its Troop Rating and Highest Level leaderboards. Open them from the Google Play Games app.
Deleting your data
To remove your leaderboard entry, email us with your nickname and we'll delete it. Deleting the app removes the progress saved on your phone. The privacy policy explains what the game stores and how to remove the iCloud copy.
