I've had an op and am bored rigid lying in bed all day.

Please recommend me puzzles or games to play on my iPad!

I am currently enjoying 'classic words free' which is basically scrabble, but better than official scrabble for me, as there are fewer ads.
Also 'real code breaker' mastermind.
'Endless quiz' really is endless which I love.
'Hungry heart's diner is also very very cute.
Take your painkillers and drink plenty, hope you are feeling better soon.

I like sporcle. Lots of different quizzes, and you can sort through them by category.
And there is one called Puzzle Page, which has a range of different puzzles on it.

I love Wordscapes. It's so much fun, especially if you like word games.

CornishW · 03/10/2021 22:01

Nonogram.com, flick solitaire, typeshift, the room series, jetpack, royal match, suguru, angry birds - all games I enjoy.

RampantIvy · 03/10/2021 22:02

I love playing online scrabble and backgammon

Oldieandgoldie · 03/10/2021 22:06

Lost Land puzzle games, also The Legacy games. Anything by 5-BN. All free too. Earn extra hints by watching videos.

I've got a soft spot for 'two dots' and 'block puzzle', they're both Tetris type games.
And the Rusty Lake games are good. Those are escape room type games.

It's a website, but I'm enjoying these currently:

If you like escape rooms in real life then ‘The Room’ games on the iPad are quite good

DobbyTheHouseElk · 04/10/2021 17:32

Jaqueline Lawson Country Cottage. It’s free and you don’t need to spend anything on it.

The room is amazing-I don’t normally like paying for apps but it’s worth every penny! Also addicted to Boggle. Words with friends also good. Duolingo if you fancy learning a language. Lost Cities is also not bad-I go through phases with that one.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 04/10/2021 19:39

That’s for the room recommendation. Nit sure what I’m doing but I’m sure it will be good.

iklboo · 04/10/2021 19:48

Agree 2048. It's so addictive!

iklboo · 04/10/2021 19:49

Phase 10 is good, too. A spin on rummy.

goldshade · 04/10/2021 20:43

Canasta palace

WeeM · 04/10/2021 20:59

I’ve just downloaded Rusty Lakes-thanks for the recommendation of that!

Friolero · 04/10/2021 21:04

The Adventure Escape Mysteries (or anything else by Haiku Games) are brilliant - solving a crime / mystery with loads of puzzles etc within the game.

@roadwarrior

I love Wordscapes. It's so much fun, especially if you like word games.
My DH is on level one billion on that. I don't have the patience for long
RockingMyFiftiesNot · 04/10/2021 21:53

Yahtzee is my favourite. Way more interesting than the box game

Darkchocolateandcoffee · 04/10/2021 21:56

So many brilliant suggestions here. I'm loving Wordscapes but also love the idea of escape room apps.

Thank you!
