Popular Smartphone App Games for Kids (21–30)
Oh my Ann
Let me introduce you to Oh My Anne, a puzzle game based on Anne of Green Gables that you can get completely absorbed in and lose track of time.
The rules are very simple: you play puzzle games within the story.
Each time you clear a puzzle, you receive items as rewards.
A distinctive feature of this game is that you can ultimately design the Green Gables house and garden to your own liking.
Enjoy the soft, gentle art style inspired by Anne of Green Gables and progress through the story as conversations unfold.

Toon Blast
Let me introduce you to Toon Blast, a game that even kids new to gaming can enjoy.
The rules are very simple: tap when two or more blocks of the same color are connected.
Clearing lots of blocks creates items like bombs, and tapping those items clears many surrounding blocks, helping you move forward.
Beating tough stages can really boost kids’ confidence.
The game’s charm also lies in its bright, poppy colors and cute animal characters.
Give it a try together as a family!
Merge Survival
Here’s a game where you survive in a post-apocalyptic world thrown into chaos by environmental pollution and natural disasters.
Merge items to craft supplies for survival, and explore to discover new resources and hidden areas.
Its themes align with real-world social issues, and the ability to cooperate—or clash—with fellow survivors makes it a great pick for moral education.
I highly recommend playing it together as a parent and child.

Cat search
This is a game where you search for and tap on cats that blend into black-and-white landscapes.
When you correctly find and tap a cat, it gains color.
If you get stuck, you can get hints, and it also shows how many cats remain, which makes it fun.
The cute “meow” sound that plays when you find and tap one is irresistible.
As you move up through the stages, the number of hidden cats increases, and they may become harder to find.
It’s a game we highly recommend for households that love cats.
In conclusion
We introduced some recommended smartphone app games for children—did you find any you’d like to try? Smartphones can cause various issues, such as potential eyesight deterioration from blue light and financial troubles from in-app purchases when you want to keep progressing in a game.
When playing, be sure to set clear rules with a parent or guardian and enjoy responsibly!
