Do you think you have unlocked all the tricks that iMessage has up its sleeve? Think again! If iMessage has been looking too plain lately, try sneaking in some lighthearted games into your conversations.
Be it an intriguing word puzzle, a hilarious emoji war, or a vintage tic tac toe, you can play a variety of arcade-style games with your buddy. That too, without leaving your conversation thread. There are dozens of titles available, but here are our top five picks.
1. Emoji Blitz
You guessed it! Emoji Blitz is for folks who never get enough of emojis. If you are one of them, you will never get tired of playing this fun-loving iMessage game on your iPhone.
In this game, you will play different emoji characters. While it seems to be a pretty easy game, dodging skulls will require you to be a bit extra vigilant. To stay ahead in the battle, make sure to collect as many diamonds as you can since it will help bolster your score.
Although Emoji Blitz is available for free, unlocking all goodies or removing ads will require you to upgrade to the premium version ($2.99).
2. GamePigeon
If you want a one-stop shop to discover a number of fascinating iMessage games for your iOS device, look no further than GamePigeon. It consists of several popular games, such as 8-ball, basketball, mini golf, and cup pong.
Frankly speaking, I have long been a fan of GamePigeon. What I love the most about this bundle of games is the wide variety. Whether you want to get into a brain-teasing word puzzle, kickstart a sea battle, or show your masterclass in a mini golf game, it has you covered.
3. Pictoworld
Pictoworld boasts by far the best word quiz games that you will enjoy playing with your friend. Packed with a ton of word-guessing games of all levels, it’s designed to test your vocabulary. It’s about reading a series of images and combining them to create a befitting word. For instance, Ear + Ring = Earring!
You can choose to go solo or play it with your dear one. Though there is no time limit, the sooner you crack a picture puzzle, the higher your score will be. As it also works offline, your gaming won’t be interrupted by poor internet connectivity.
4. 8 Ball Pool
Should you wish to take on a slightly more challenging game, 8 Ball Pool can be an exciting option. Based on the real 3D pool games, it allows you to compete in multiplayer leagues.
In every PvP match, there are plenty of pool coins at stake. Make use of your game-changing pool strategies to win the match and take home the coveted coins. Every time you decimate your rivals, it improves your overall ranking as a player.
For a more personalized experience, you can customize your cue and pool table. Not great at pool games? No worries! 8 Ball Pool offers multiple levels so that you can learn the tricks at your own pace before getting into more intense games.
