The Room is a game that requires a little extra mind power, but it’s definitely worth your while. It’s a game that consists of four chapters each containing a series of puzzles to be solved. The game consists of mysteries and clues with a subtle spooky tone. If you’d like to solve a series of puzzles then try this game out. Unfortunately, the game costs $0.99 but it’s definitely worth the money. When I bought the game, I ended up staying in my room for two hours until I finished it.

Another game that requires you to solve several mini puzzles is Can You Escape. This game contains several levels each containing a door. The idea of the game is to open each door using different puzzles and clues hidden among the room. Once you’ve unlocked a door, you move onto the next floor. This game is free in the app store and will definitely keep you addicted.

9 letters is another puzzle game that is also free. Unlike word puzzle games, it’s a more modern version which requires you to make two words with the given letters. However, you can only make a word out of letters that are connected around them. Make the two words to move onto the next puzzle. So if you want a bit of a challenge, then try out this mind buster.

Godus is different from the other games recommended because you are free to use your imagination and carve the world of your liking. The game allows you to carve the land and send your “followers” to new land. The game allows you to build homes, mine for coal and farm for wheat, destroy enemies, and explore new lands. This game is completely in the players hands which allows you to use creativity. If you want a twist to the typical story game, give Godus a try.
