Touch Match

Memory game by touch

2020

Concept

Touch Match is a game where, eyes closed, you find the two cards that feel the same. Made with deaf-blind haptic designer Hayato Tabata; each card's design is inspired by his tactile memories.

The game also gets you trying different ways of touching. Different fingers, different parts of the same finger, or your nails — each one opens up a surprisingly distinct range of sensations.
