Boredom has long been a devastating side effect that comes with attending LHS. While its grip on our student body is undeniable, there are of course ways to combat its severe symptoms. Leave it to the kids that grew up spearheading the iPad kid generation to find a way to escape boredom. Leave it to us to whip out our phones in class. Here are some of the best mobile games to play instead of – I mean after finishing classwork.
Retro Bowl: This classic has been a staple in the arsenals of students bored out of their minds for quite some time now, and with a new sequel available bringing new challenges, its pull is stronger than ever. Retro Bowl does not require cell connection, which is a massive plus in a building that seems to actually repel any signal. Personally, I have been crowned a Retro Bowl champion seven times already this school year, with more titles coming soon.
Hay Day: I have never really understood the hype about Hay Day, but I also stopped playing shortly after reaching level five, so it is very possible I missed out on some elusive features of the game. From what I have seen on the screens of more dedicated Hay Day farmers, this application is perfect if you are looking for a calm way to pass the time. It can be repetitive at times, but provides more entertainment than the busy work your teacher just assigned, so I don’t see why it shouldn’t be given a chance.
Among Us: Just kidding.
Dream League Soccer: My opinions on this one may be inherently biased. I have played a total of 7,530 matches in the most recent installment of Dream League Soccer, and I estimate that 7,500 of those have come between 8:20 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. If you are part of the minority that tolerates soccer as a sport, this game is a perfect way to make use of whatever time you have on your hands throughout the day. While certain game modes within it require cell service, this application can be used in part without any connection at all, which makes procrastination of schoolwork even easier.
Subway Surf: I do not even have to say anything about this game. It is an oldie but a goody and it has been on our home screens since we first got our phones. This classic deserves some revisiting from each and every student at LHS.
Rider Worlds: There is a relatively small demographic of students here at LHS on which this new app has a tight grip. As I formulate this list, the individual immediately to my right is trying for a new high score on Gravity World. As I formulated that sentence, he died and punched the table in a fit of rage. That is just what it seems to do to people. This addictive sequel game can be played without service and can become addictive frighteningly quickly. I can see it becoming a staple mobile game in the future, and I can see the LHS student body helping it out on its way there.
