The following treacherously simplistic game apps featured on both Android, as well as iPhones will definitely thwart any attempts at productivity and communications, so please proceed with humorous caution to play them at your own peril.
QuizUp, a free app that will drive all Trivia Night enthusiasts enjoying regular weeknight sessions to break their routine possibly for ever with their addiction to this multiplayer trivia game app. iTunes quipped it to be the biggest trivia game in the world, and they were not far off in their summation, the app allows you to play a head-to-head style game against friends and family, or alternatively other users picked at random. Here you will have the opportunity to test your knowledge by facing-off on a range of topics that reaches from A to Z in any general knowledge encyclopedia, with a multitude of new searchable topics that would match any user’s interests while allowing you to simultaneously chat with other users that may have similar interests.
Threes, is another free app where players will require at least three hours learning the strategy of its gameplay followed by three months of totally addictive game play. Similar in entertainment style to 2048, where players are required to match up identical tile numbers in their attempt to complete a four digit code as a final goal, all completed combinations will have the numbers added together until one day in the far future, and is a total addict, you will eventually achieve a 3072 tile combination. This app should be programmed with an involuntary time period to allow visitation with friends and family before the player may resume his game.
Overglide costs $.99 on iOS, and unlike the two apps above is not a brainteaser, but an equally addictive test of skills where players are required to fly and guide a little paper folded aeroplane to overcome a range of simple obstacles. At first play seems simple and possibly even boring, I challenge you to attempt to communicate with this same player 10 minutes later, you will awaken his ire, or simply be ignored, because he’s hooked. Even sneakier, this app buries itself in the phone’s notification centre, so may God help you to resist and be productive if you ever attempt to read your notifications during a workday. All forms of productivity, emails, and communications will fly right out the door for the rest of the day.
