free iOS puzzle games

Need A Hero

Need a Hero from Alis Games might look like just another match three puzzle game, but the similarity to those other games is minimal. In Need a Hero, a princess has been abducted by an evil dragon and you have to rescue her, and you do this by matching tiles, but there are twists here that aren’t present in other puzzles.

The Path To Luma

The Path to Luma from NRG Energy proves that games with a message can be enjoyable and entertaining. NRG Energy is a company devoted to clean energy, and they’ve come up with a cool game to get their point across. You play SAM, an androgynous robot whose objective is to remove pollution, harness sustainable energy while providing power for different planets.

Drop7

Drop7 has been around for a while now, but game publisher Zynga has updated it for a new breed of gamers making it an always addictive title. The premise is simple and easy to learn, but mastering is difficult, so it’s another of those “just one more try” games that are so hard to put down.

Charades Free

Charades Free from Fat Chicken Studios is a puzzle game that you can play with your friends anytime on mobile. Charades Free also has a few games that are suited for single playing as well. Unlike other puzzle titles, there’s no need to collect virtual currencies here.

94%

94% is a puzzle game from developer Scimob, and if you’ve seen the Family Feud game show, you’ll have a pretty good idea of how it works. If not, the objective is to find the most popular answer given by 100 people who were polled for the question, hence the title 94%. It sounds simple enough, but there are some challenges here too.

ZigZag

ZigZag from developer Ketchapp is essentially a game that tests your reflex and hand – eye coordination. The objective is to help a marble ball move across a zigzag wall, all the while making sure it doesn’t fall off. The premise is simple and the mechanics are easy to grasp, but mastering the game is another matter altogether.

Trivia Crack

Trivia Crack isn’t the first trivia game to appear on the iOS and Android, but publisher Etermax made sure the game would stand out from the rest by incorporating unique elements. At the same time, there’s a familiar feel to it so the learning curve isn’t going to be difficult for casual gamers.

1010

There are a lot of simple but addictive games on the iOS and Android, and one of those is definitely 1010 from developer GramGames. It’s got basic graphics and sounds, but that’s not what this is about, as it’s more about strategy and showing everyone you’re better at it. In a way it’s like Tetris, but this is no rip-off.
