Let’s admit it, we all had that one game that that we were so addicted to but there wasn’t any rational explanation behind our addiction. ‘Heck, it’s so boring, but why can’t I put my phone down……I need to stop playing this…..okay after this level…..maybe after I reach level 30 or 40 or…..”
Why are some
games so addictive? For starters, we often love these games because they are
easier to grasp and when we have played them a good deal, we often see a
pattern in these games. Once we get to know pattern, there is this obsession to
outsmart the pattern and win the game and we often find ourselves too caught up
in it.
But it is
also equally amazing how these games can be relaxing. Often while playing these
games, we are seldom involved in the game. In fact, how many of us don’t zone
out while playing these games?
Yeah, and
guess what? Maybe these games have been eating up your time until now. But with
the lockdown and everything that has been going on, maybe your free time is
eating you up. Hence, there will never be a better time than now to revisit
these games.
We bring you
the most repetitive, boring (kind of relaxing) and extremely addictive games that
you can play to get through this lockdown in a sane way.

➤CROWD
CITY :
By Voodoo
Available: iOS & Android
Cost : Free
Has
quarantine and self-isolation driven you crazy?
Do you find
yourself unsafe as you do not have a crowd to blend in with?
Do you feel
excited in seeing more than five people standing together at the same time?
Will you do
anything to gather humans and be their supreme leader?
To all those
people who feel like they belong in a crowd, one, STAY HOME! STAY SAFE! And
two, this app is made for you.
Your job is
to go around town and touch all the white people and make them your team. It’s that
easy. What’s the goal you ask?
There are
several people like you who are trying to catch all the white people too. Your
mission is to make sure that when the timer goes off, your team has the largest
number of members.
Simple,
right? Not that tough to grasp but let me warn you, it is extremely addictive.
You just can’t get enough of it.
So
definitely check out this app if you want to become cool and acquire some
followers….at least for once in your life.

➤PUSH’EM
ALL :
By Voodoo
Available: iOS & Android
Cost : Free
(I have very
strategically placed this app and crowd city together.)
Hasn’t
quarantine still helped you to get rid of your hate for crowds?
Do you look
upon self-isolation as a gift from the Gods? (excluding all of the innocent deaths, of course. Pray for those dear souls.)
Do you get
so freaked out whenever you see a large crowd that you just want to whip out a giant
candy cane and push all of them off the top of a building?
It’s funny
how Voodoo has created apps to suit people’s personal preferences and
perspectives.
This game is
all about pushing people off a building and not getting pushed off. You get
different kinds of weapons?/accessories like a stick, a candy cane, a boomerang
etc., to assist you in your mission.
At one
point, I was so addicted to this game that I played it for 4 hours straight and
still wasn’t done with it.
Check out how fun it is to push people off a
building.
(DISCLAIMER:
THE STUNTS PERFORMED IN THIS GAME ARE DONE BY PROFESSIONAL ANIMATED CHARACTERS.
PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PERFORMNG THEM IN REAL LIFE. NOT COOL!)

➤DADDY WAS
A THIEF :
By Rebel
Twins.
Available: iOS & Android
Cost : Free for android.
We all grew
up wishing that our fathers were superheroes whose daily mission was to save
the world from bad men.
But ‘Daddy
Was A Thief’ plans to flip around that wish of yours. The ‘Daddy’ in this game
is a man who loses his job and loses his family too. And like what all those
revenge movies taught us i.e., if something bad happens to you, you turn bad,
this ‘Daddy’ too decides the only way he can save his family is by making money
from robbing banks.
But hold on,
you don’t have to spend your mental energy in devising a plan to rob a bank. All
this game wants you to do is to help daddy crash down through each floor of a
building. Here’s the catch. There is no end to the number of floors.
You collect
coins on the way and some floors have people or stuff you should be avoiding
but for the most part, you just go down and down and…..down. The number of
floors you reach marks your scores.
I personally
find it extremely helpful to play this game when I am too frustrated as this game is all about
smashable objects. Who needs therapy?
This game
could hit you in two different ways. You might either hate it from the very
beginning or you will be so hooked on to it that you might actually end up
wishing your dad was this cool.
Find out
which way!

This is
probably the most relaxing game you’ll find in this list. You don’t have to
feel anxious of getting caught or being pushed off a building.
All you need
to do is protect your balls…. (Gosh, that sounded so wrong!)
You need to
pave a path (like literally) for you- the balls and just let them do their work. Your mission?
Make sure
you transport the maximum number of balls to the van at the end of the screen.
The first
time I saw this app was on my friend’s phone, I absolutely fell in love with it
and I don’t even know why!
But anyway
you should check it out.

This is another game you should be playing if you are
scrolling down this list in the hope of finding something relaxing.
These games provide you with an image where the
spaces to be coloured are numbered. All you need to do is to colour them
according to the numbers.
There are simple images and complex images depending
upon the games. This is the perfect game for you if you are looking forward to
zone out while playing.
There are several of these games you can find on
AppStore and PlayStore.
Here’s one you can check out.

You
literally don’t need any special skills for this game except clicking and
hatching chickens.
Yes, that’s
your purpose in life. Hatch as many chickens as you can, sell their eggs and
make money out of it. Of course, you also get to do fun stuff like upgrading your
farm with the money you earned and even selling your farm for a better one.
But if you
break it down to its very core, this game is all about clicking to make
chickens.
So can
someone please explain to me, why am I so addicted to it?

This was one
of my first clicker games and it absolutely drove me crazy. Why?
Because I
was coming to terms with my love for logic-less clicker games. I felt like the
last of my braincells were giving upon me.
Human
Evolution is simple. You found a new planet! (Because we all made Earth
absolutely uninhabitable) So your mission is to create new creatures by merging
them up and populate the new planet. (Because we need to find something else to
destroy, right?)
You start by
merging two DNA strands and ultimately make creatures more advanced than the
present-day humans.
I played
this game for months. Months! With no clue as to why I was wasting my time on
it. Maybe because I was curious enough to know what the next creature would be.
Check out
this game if you are definitely into such kind of stuff.

Thing is, you would have already played this game
but that doesn’t make this game any less addictive.
You are given four pictures and you have to find a
word that connects all of them. Pretty simple, right? The levels get more
tougher as you go on.
But nobody knows why they are so addictive!
There are several good 4 pics 1 word games in
PlayStore and AppStore. You can just choose one you like!
Here’s one such game.

God, I was so into these for a while.
If you are the type to get excited about finding
clues and all the mystery stuff, you should definitely check out these kind of
games.
You're locked in a room and you have to look for a
key or clues that might lead you to where the key is hidden.
Each room is a level and once you get out of one
room, you are led into the next.
There are several escape room games you can find on
AppStore and PlayStore.
Here’s one such game.

In Gardenscapes, your mission is to restore a garden to its former
glory and you are accompanied by the butler, Austin to help you complete small
tasks like adding new benches, repairing the fountain, planting shrubs etc.,
To do these jobs you require stars, which you will
obtain by playing the matching tiles game (similar to candy crush). You will be faced with lots of challenges through the way and there are a huge number of
levels to play.
I’ll let you see the rest for yourself but watch
out! It’s really addictive.
