If you haven\u2019t run the battery down on your smartphone trying to solve one last clue, escape one more trap, or construct the perfect machine, you simply haven\u2019t lived. While the puzzle game might lack the instant dopamine hit of the arcade, the good ones get their hooks into you, and won\u2019t let go until you\u2019ve burnt the dinner or missed your stop. But far from just a massive time-sink, the best mobile puzzle games are a great way to challenge and entertain your brain.<\/p>\n

What makes a puzzle game? We\u2019ve gone with a loose definition covering any game where thought and experimentation is more important than reflexes or instinct. There\u2019s a huge list of candidates, encompassing many adventure, turn-based and construction games, but we\u2019ve whittled it down to our five favourites. If you\u2019ve got the time for a challenge, here\u2019s our guide to the five best mobile puzzle games for Android<\/a> and iPhones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t find a best mobile games list without Monument Valley. Partly inspired by the pictures of M. C. Escher, Monument Valley tells the story of Ida, on a quest for forgiveness that takes her over impossible architecture, through beautiful scenes, amid an atmospheric soundtrack. To progress, you\u2019ll have to rotate ledges, manipulate switches and change water levels, or rearrange entire buildings, all the while outwitting the mysterious Crow People.<\/p>\n

Monument Valley is more of a brain teaser than a head-scratcher, with a fairly gentle difficulty curve and little in the way of bamboozlement. It\u2019s all the better for it, offering relaxing and surprisingly immersive gameplay in relatively manageable chunks. No wonder it, the Forgotten Shores expansion pack, and Monument Valley 2 have between them scooped all kinds of awards and plaudits.<\/p>\n

While Monument Valley\u2019s challenges might leave you stumped for only a minute or two, those in The Room might leave you tearing your hair out overnight. The first in a series of fiendish escape room style games, this stylish and atmospheric puzzler will, at times, take over your thoughts.<\/p>\n

In this original game you begin in the titular room, in front of a safe, seemingly summoned to solve the puzzles inside. But you\u2019ll soon be drawn into cryptic challenges, matching patterns and thinking creatively to unlock, open, decode and otherwise make your way through the game.<\/p>\n

Android users will need to pay upfront to play this game, while the App Store\u2019s \u2018Pocket\u2019 version gives you the first level for free. In both cases, it\u2019s less than \u00a31 for a game that\u2019ll have you waking up thinking \u2018aha!\u2019 more than once, and will likely whet your appetite for the sequels.<\/p>\n

Equal parts adventure game, interactive story and puzzler, Edith Finch is included here because, well, it\u2019s simply astonishing. Playing as the modern day Edith, you begin your exploration of the rambling, deserted family house, tracing back through the generations to discover why you are the only remaining Finch.<\/p>\n

Each room in the Finch house tells a story: of a different family member and how they came to meet their unfortunate end. Your job is to relive each of their deaths, piecing together the mystery of an apparently cursed bloodline.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this game isn\u2019t available for Android phones, but you can find it on multiple other platforms including the PC and Nintendo Switch. There\u2019s no sequel available, either, although publisher Annapurna Interactive does a nice line in similarly unusual indie games.<\/p>\n

Edith Finch is beautiful and atmospheric, and the stories within it notable for their variety. One minute you might be swinging in a playground overlooking the ocean, another leaping from branch to branch as the cat of a young girl\u2019s fever dream. Be warned, though: one shocking and deeply upsetting story will stay with you long after you\u2019ve finished the game.<\/p>\n

Individually, Edith Finch\u2019s challenges and puzzles aren\u2019t especially difficult to solve, but collectively they add to an absorbing and ultimately open-ended mystery. Edith Finch may only occupy you for a few hours, but it\u2019ll haunt you for much longer.<\/p>\n

On other platforms, the Hitman franchise is a series of third-person stealth games, taking place in a realistic 3D world. In this first mobile outing it becomes Hitman Go, a stylised board game leaning on puzzle elements and turn-based gameplay.<\/p>\n

Hitman Go casts you as Agent 47, a ruthless contract killer, setting out on missions to eliminate specific targets. Each mission is presented as a separate board game, and further broken down into multiple turn-based scenes, in which you must try to outwit, outflank or simply kill everyone who stands in your way.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a simple idea, and at first the scenes are simple – early levels can be solved with just a few moves. As you progress through the game, however, the difficulty goes up, and there\u2019s an increasing amount of choice about how you \u2018solve\u2019 the scene. In the tradition of great games, you\u2019ll find yourself going back and reattempting scenes you\u2019ve already cleared to gather extra achievements such as \u2018no kill\u2019, \u2018kill all enemies\u2019, or \u2018collect briefcase\u2019.<\/p>\n

This is hardly a game for deep thinkers, but it combines slick, stealthy play with dark humour and strategic challenges. Most levels can be cleared in a few minutes, making this an easy game to fit into short breaks. Our only criticism is that, while the ideas and style stay fresh, the gameplay can get a little repetitive.<\/p>\n

Bridge Constructor Portal is very much the \u2018Daddy and chips\u2019 of the mobile gaming world. A mashup between the hugely successful Bridge Constructor and Portal series, BCP has you building hilariously shonky bridges for the Bendies of the Aperture Science Enrichment Centre. Get it wrong and they\u2019re variously dissolved, vapourised or simply stuck. Get it right and you\u2019ll be rewarded with more responsibility – and stress.<\/p>\n

This game combines the physics-based challenge of actually building a bridge, with the additional complexity of portals that may or may not lead where you want them to. It\u2019s not an in-depth mental workout, but it will have you building and rebuilding, trying to work out where to strengthen and lighten to make the level a success.<\/p>\n

Although you can progress once a single Bendy makes it across, the real challenge lies in safely getting a convoy to the goal. Multiple vehicles, setting up nail-biting oscillations, tend to cause all kinds of chaos, showing your single-vehicle solution up for the cludge it was. There\u2019s a surprising amount of depth and variation in this game\u2019s 60 levels, but their difficulty curve could do with smoothing out a bit – some levels stand out as being especially tricky.<\/p>\n
