15 Puzzle Game using ReactJS

Memory Game from scratch using React

Last Updated : 24 Apr, 2025

In this article, we will create a Memory game using ReactJS. A memory game is a famous game in which a pair of cards are placed in front of a player with their face down. The two pairs are always going to have the same content. The player has the choice to select any two cards at a time and check if the faces of the card match or not. If the face content match then he can keep the images with their face up and continue else the players needs to put them back face down. The game is over when all the pairs have been matched.

Pre-requisites

Approach:

As most of the logic is contained by the GameBoard.js component we will mainly focus on it and break the logic in steps but first Import GameBoard.js into App.js and render it there as App.js is the parent component for the GameBoard.js. Inside the GamBoard functional Component, we will create another function named NewGame() which restarts the whole game by suffling the cards and resetting the other variables. This function will only be executed when the new game button is clicked. Now to handle the clicks on the image card we create a new function called handleSelectedCards() which will simply check which card is selected and store its value in the firstCard and secondCard variables for further checking.

Steps to create the project:

Step 1 : Choose a particular IDE of your choice (preferably VS Code) .

Step 2: Create React Project Folder by using the below commands.

npx create-react-app <<projectname>>

Step 3: Navigate to the project folder.

cd <<projectname>>

Step 4: Create a folder “Game” and add five new files GameBoard.js, Card.js, and Data.js.
