Indian government has recently announced a lockdown in the entire country to curb the spread of coronavirus and everyone is ordered to stay at home and practice social distancing.
We recently publish ed a list of online media streaming services to get you through the lockdown period and now here’s the list of mobile games that you can play to pass time. Do note that the list is a combination of free as well as paid games.
Mini Metro
This is an interesting game. The stylish puzzle game seems simple as you have to create a working subway system for a city as it expands. You need to keep drawing lines between stations to keep everything connected.
However, it isn’t as simple as it sounds. Random city growth throws up obstacles and you’ll need unlock new trains, carriages, track, tunnels, and other upgrades to help you build out a great metro network. There are 20 different cities to play, each having different feel and challenges.
The game is available to download on the Google Play Store and is priced at $0.99.
HQ Trivia
HQ Trivia, which was launched in 2017 as an iOS app and later expanded to Android in 2018, was shut down in February this year. However, an unknown investor has come onboard and the game has risen from the ashes.
The company will be hosting live game shows at its usual time of 9 PM ET and Matt Richards, one of the hosts of HQ Trivia and CEO Rus Yusupov has also confirmed this.
It allows users to play a game of trivia and win real money. This Sunday, the game offered $1,000 in prize money and more than 100,000 people were reportedly logged in.
Summer Catchers
The game involves driving a go-kart across side scrolling levels and hitting power-ups to overcome obstacles you come across. There’s hopping over spiked pits, ramming totem poles, turbo-ing up steep hills, and other level-specific activities to keep the process exciting.
While playing this game, you’ll need to keep a track on your powers and have options to unlock new karts and outfits. It is available for download for both Android smartphones as well as Apple iPhone.
