Recommended time-killing apps (11–20)
In The SOM
Let me introduce In the Seom, a game featuring the hugely popular group BTS.
The rules are simple: match three or more identical blocks to clear them.
By using items, you can wipe out blocks all at once.
Clearing puzzles earns you new items, and one of the game’s charms is that you can use them to create your own original island.
Progress through the game while developing a deserted island together with the cute character versions of the BTS members.
It’s also a treat that BTS’s hit songs play in the game.

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.

Magic Touch
Magic Touch is a perfect smartphone game for killing time.
You input the symbols written on the balloons attached to enemies falling from the sky by drawing them on the touchscreen.
It’s a simple score-chasing game—but as you progress, the difficulty ramps up quickly.
You might find yourself getting hooked beyond just passing the time.

Arithmetic game with both hands
This is a game where you use both hands to show the answer to a given arithmetic expression.
For example, if someone says “What’s 5 + 1?”, you make 6 with your fingers.
You can hold up three fingers on each hand, or five on one hand and one on the other—either is fine.
You’re free to choose, but syncing the answer that pops into your head with your hands is trickier than you’d think.
That’s exactly why it gets so exciting! The rules are simple, so it’s great for helping kids practice math, too.
If you’re the one giving the problems, make sure the answers don’t exceed 10!
Two-letter shiritori
Would you like to try playing two-letter shiritori? In regular shiritori, you connect the last letter of the previous word to the first letter of your word regardless of length, and the person who uses a word that ends with “n” loses.
This version adds one more rule: you can only answer with two-letter words.
It’s perfect for when regular shiritori is too easy and boring.
If you want to make it even harder, try banning repeated words or keeping a steady rhythm while playing.
It’s a real test of your vocabulary!
Finger Smash
A great game to kill time: “Yubi-suma” (Finger Guess).
Many of you may have played it back in school.
You don’t need any equipment and the rules are simple, so anyone can jump right in.
First, make a fist with both hands and press your knuckles together.
Decide the order, and starting with player 1, call “Yubi-suma” and then say a number.
At that moment, all players either raise their thumb(s) or keep them down.
You can raise just one thumb, both, or none.
If the number called matches the total number of thumbs raised, the caller puts one hand down.
The first player to put both hands down wins! Give it a try.
In conclusion
Have you found any games everyone can play together? If you know some games or apps you can quickly suggest when you’re feeling bored, you can have fun with friends or a partner you’re with. And if you’re with someone you’ve just met, they can be great conversation starters that help you break the ice. Make good use of them and have a great time!
