I've already played Smurfs, Dragonville, candy crush, Boom Beach. I like puzzles (sudoku etc) too. Any suggestions?

I too love candy crush and I've found my new go-to game 'match 3d' brilliantly addictive !

Temple run

Blockudoku - I've lost hours to this game

Manor Matters. Too many hours wasted on that one.....
Absolutely this. And Lily's Garden!

Little alchemy was quite clever

Homescapes.

It used to be too hard but they've improved it by giving out a lot more endless lives for an hour etc.

And if you abandon it for a few days they welcome you back now with loads of gifts like endless lives and various bits and bobs, so iyou get sucked back in! Blush

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. I'm going to jump on these too.

RainBow725 · 09/01/2021 17:33

Ball Sort Puzzle. Worth paying to get rid of the adverts. Addictive and good for the brain!

I've recently got into the "Idle" games on my tablet where you keep clicking to build a human or the world etc. The one I enjoy most is called 9 Months and you grow a baby from conception to 2 years old. It can be done without in app purchases as well, if you're patient.

QueenPawPaws · 09/01/2021 17:35

Homescapes
Clockmaker

Stilllivinginazoo · 09/01/2021 17:36

If you like word games I highly recommend alphabetty(king game)

Heartofstrings · 09/01/2021 17:38

Merge dragon. My current fav

PainterInPeril · 09/01/2021 17:38

Playrix do quite a few: There's "Township," "Gardenscapes", and as mentioned previously, "Homescapes". Can't remember the others. They're good fun and you can chat to people in your team if you want to.

StrugglingICUnurse · 09/01/2021 17:40

Ooh I used to like merge dragons. Only stopped because I got a new phone and it wouldn't transfer without linking to Facebook

StrugglingICUnurse · 09/01/2021 17:40

I'm really enjoying the Harry Potter game at the moment.

westr · 09/01/2021 17:41

I like Fishdom

orangenasturtium · 09/01/2021 17:42

Very different from the kind of games you said you like but our family really got into playing the Exploding Kittens app against each other during the last lockdown. You can play online with friends or strangers or against the computer/phone.

KeeefBurtain · 09/01/2021 17:42

Lego Tower. It’s addictive. My friend code is 1X7KZ if you end up joining!

Where's my water?

So true. I don't love it like I love MM and LG but it's good!
Witchend · 09/01/2021 18:15

I like Lemmings currently.

CornishW · 09/01/2021 19:10

There’s a series of games called ‘The Room’, not free, but very entertaining.
Also, Cut the Rope
Tiny Wings
Toy Blast
Monster Busters
Jelly Splash
Gummy Drop
Royal Match
Alphabear
Smash Hit

Happy Colour is ridiculously addictive. It got advertised all the time and it's brilliant, exactly what it says it is. All free as well, it does have ads but you can pay to get rid of them which I did. Thousands and thousands of pictures! I've played it every day for 6+ months...

Puzzle Fuzzle is good fun, and Good Pizza, Great Pizza. We also love Animal Restaurant and Neko Atsume, although neither are puzzle games at all. They're adorable, though!

Hawkins001 · 09/01/2021 19:22

Broken sword games are full of puzzles and fairly good to do
