The Room Series
Best Android Games
Now four games strong, The Room series features puzzles presented as tactile, mechanical boxes. Each one is similar to a Himitsu Bako Japanese puzzle box in that certain mechanisms must be triggered, in order, to solve them. The thing that elevates The Room above other puzzle games of its type is its wonderfully rich, spooky atmosphere. The player can pick up story beats via notes and letters scattered around the world giving context to the proceedings.
The tactile interface of Android devices is a perfect fit for the games puzzle boxes, showing a deep understanding of the platform by developer Fireproof Games. Honestly, you’re safe with any of The Room games but the most recent release, The Room: Old Sins is a great entry into the series. They’re pretty inexpensive too, meaning there’s no reason why you shouldn’t just play all of them.
