Crossy Road

Draw Something
Do you want a fun party game? We’ve got one for you – Draw Something is quite similar to Pictionary – one player draws to explain a word, and others try to guess what the word is.

Flappy Dunk
Flappy Dunk, which is similar to the now-defunct Flappy Bird, is very simple. The game asks the player to touch the screen to prevent their ball from falling. You need to move the ball through endless hoops to accumulate points.
Fortnite
Fortnite’s has cartoon-style graphics, unusual construction mechanics, and fast-paced action. Your goal as a player is to become the last person or team left standing. Fortnite is free in the App Store, but it gets a little complicated on Android. It’s not available in the Google Play Store; you have to download the Epic Games launcher first. It’s a bit complicated, but don’t let this scare you away.

Defend yourself from invading monsters in Survival Mode or choose a Creative Mode to have unlimited resources. IOS and Android apps are $6.99.
Plague Inc.
This is a simulation game that gives the player the task to infect all people on the planet while avoiding governments’ efforts to stop its spread. The concept sounds a bit insane during the coronavirus pandemic, and China has actually banned the game. However, Ndemic Creations intended the game to be quite realistic to raise awareness about issues. Lately, for instance, the creators added fake news and anti-vaxxers.
