Got a lot going on and some mental health difficulties at the minute and so I’m looking for something to distract myself with that isn’t scrolling social media.

Can anyone recommend a good phone game they are playing please? I like puzzle type things but open to anything!

Ballsort is good. Endless levels and no annoying adverts if you buy it - pretty cheap as I recall.

I do the New York Times Connections every day, which I like,

How about starting to learn a new language on Duolingo?
A great distraction tool and educational too!

Blockudoku is really good, it's like Tetris but not exactly. I play it when I'm stressed and it really helps

Seat away.
Although the levels have to be completed within a set time so that might increase your adrenaline.

Puzzle Page is fab for a selection of daily puzzles.

Monopoly Go is a bit of mindless fun.

Pokemon Go for the fresh air and exercise benefit too

New York Times puzzles.

Roblox (loads of games to try on there)

Logic Puzzles (loads with the same name so I recommend trying a few til you find the ones you like the most).

Match Factory

Have fun and I hope they help!

Bus out. Really mindless tapping, I have it for waiting on appointments at Drs /hospital as they are often running late and instead of stressing about lateness or overthinking what I need to say just checked my phone hexa sort is also there

Tetris. Pay for the ad free. It’s not a lot £ but is absorbing and quite addictive.
