How to play Panda Picnic

How to play

Panda Picnic is a speedy pair-matching game on a virtual picnic blanket. Thirty-six snacks are spread out face-up in a 6×6 grid — eighteen different picnic treats, each appearing exactly twice. Tap any two tiles that show the same treat to pack them into the panda's basket: every matched pair scores 10 points and clears two squares from the blanket. Pack all eighteen pairs before the 2:30 timer runs out to win, and every second left on the clock when you finish turns into 2 bonus points. But keep your eyes peeled for a mischievous raccoon: every few seconds it pops up somewhere on the blanket for a few seconds only — tap it before it vanishes for a juicy +15 points and 4 bonus seconds. If the board ever feels scrambled beyond hope, the Shuffle button rearranges all the remaining tiles, but you only get two shuffles per game, so spend them wisely.

Controls

• Tap / click a snack tile to select it, then tap its matching twin to collect the pair.
• Tap the 🦝 raccoon when it pops up for bonus points and extra time.
• Use the 🔀 Shuffle button (2 uses) to rearrange all remaining tiles.
• Everything works with mouse, finger, or tap — no keyboard needed.

Tips

Start by scanning for the most distinctive treats — the balloon, the basket, and the juice box stand out fast and give you quick early pairs. Don't tap blindly: every mismatch costs you a beat of time, and seconds are the real currency here because of the finish bonus. Save your shuffles for the last few stubborn pairs instead of using them early when pairs are still easy to spot. When the raccoon appears, grab it immediately — the +4 seconds it gives is worth more than any single pair. As the grid thins out, re-scan row by row instead of hunting randomly; a lonely treat is always hiding in the corner you least expect.

Scoring

Each collected pair is worth 10 points. Tapping the raccoon bonus critter adds 15 points plus 4 seconds to the timer. Finishing the whole blanket converts every remaining second into 2 bonus points, so a fast clean solve beats a slow one even with the same pairs. Your best score is saved on your device — beat your own record to earn the "New best" badge on the game-over screen.
