Each morning, review the previous day’s articles to search for two of the five possible hidden Congress icons (pictured below). - ![CT26 - Clock](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/CT26%20-%20Clock.png?width=360&height=360&name=CT26%20-%20Clock.png) **Clock** - ![CT26 - Key Horiz](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/CT26%20-%20Key%20Horiz.png?width=360&height=360&name=CT26%20-%20Key%20Horiz.png) **Horizontal Key** - ![CT26 - Key Vert](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/CT26%20-%20Key%20Vert.png?width=360&height=360&name=CT26%20-%20Key%20Vert.png) **Vertical Key** - ![CT26 - Keyhole](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/CT26%20-%20Keyhole.png?width=360&height=360&name=CT26%20-%20Keyhole.png) **Keyhole** - ![CT26 - Lock](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/CT26%20-%20Lock.png?width=360&height=360&name=CT26%20-%20Lock.png) **Lock**   For example, **Wednesday’s icons** appear in **Tuesday’s** articles, and **Friday’s icons** will be hidden in **Thursday’s** articles.

Each card has a **matching partner** somewhere else on the board. **Click or tap on one card** and **drag your cursor to a second card** you believe is its match. **If the cards match**, the connection will remain visible. **If they don’t**, the line will disappear, and you can try again. **Continue** until all pairs on the board are correctly matched. The Matching Game will remain open for three hours both days it is posted. Try to be the fastest on the leaderboard to claim the win! ### **The Prizes** Each Search Game and Match Game challenge gives participants a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card, awarded to the first correct response for the Search Game and the fastest time for the Match Game.
