LET’S PLAY

Games to reset your day

If a tornado of to-do lists, unanswered messages and incomplete errands is sending your brain into overload, sometimes it’s best to hit that reset button: stop what you’re doing and play some games. Your pressing tasks won’t magically disappear, but with your newly refreshed mindset, tackling them will be smoother.

Clear your way

If you’ve been stalled by a progress obstacle course since morning, it’s time to clear a path for the rest of the day. And that’s precisely what you do in Let Me Out. In this brainy puzzle, your car is trapped amongst vehicles blocking your exit. Concentrate and slide the cars in lines, horizontally or vertically, to make your way out. Small victories here will give you the confidence to start to disentangle your day.

Connect the dots

Is that brilliant idea frustratingly reluctant to pop up? Sometimes, a change of activity is all you need to start connecting the dots. In Two Dots, that’s literally what you do. With a soothing soundtrack and mesmerising gameplay, you’ll find yourself pairing dots of the same colour to clear them from the board. In a few quick matches, you’ll retrieve your concentration and be able to let those ideas flow.

Find the word

That word… it’s on the tip of your tongue. You need it, you want it… but it refuses to show up. Sounds familiar? You can try your luck by skimming through the pages of a dictionary… or you can play with the words themselves to see what comes up. In Words of Wonders: Crossword, you play around with the letters in words to create new ones, while learning interesting facts about the Seven Wonders. As you start associating letters randomly, an unstoppable flux of words will start firing in your brain. And, there it is – that word you couldn’t think of 10 minutes ago!

Build your zen place

If none of the previous games help you to smooth the creases in your day, maybe you just need to escape to the island of your dreams? In Poly Island you create your own by completing relaxing puzzles with polygons. From dolphins about to jump from the sea to toucans with colourful wings, you’ll construct a majestic paradise in no time. Whenever reality feels too demanding, with Poly Island, you can cast away to your zen place.
