Mario Kart
The familiar characters and incredibly popular world of Mario Kart have been keeping gamers entertained since 1992, and playing Mario Kart on the move has never been easier. The latest version of the racing game means that the world’s favorite plumber and his entourage are now available wherever you have your phone.
With many elements of classic Mario Kart, there is plenty for long-time fans of the game to enjoy, including some of the best-loved characters ever to appear on screen. The graphics are clear and bright and the controls have been designed to be used one-handed which makes it an ideal game for playing on the go.
Updates to the original game have included a multiplayer option, so it is now possible to play with friends and challenge other players to online matches wherever you are. It’s even easier to game with friends in different time zones when your game is on your phone.
The game itself has also been designed to fit the way people use their phones, so each race lasts only a few minutes and an entire cup contest is just three races. There are bonus rounds that allow players to get a preview of the karts and characters they haven’t unlocked yet, so there’s plenty to keep fans coming back for more.
Kahoot!
Fans of quizzes and puzzles have a new way to connect online with apps such as Kahoot! that allow users to set their own questions with multiple choice answers and share them with their friends.

Apps like Kahoot! can bring together people all over the world to answer questions and share their love of any subject that they choose. And it’s also great for family get-togethers and games nights – players only need a phone so you can have multiple people in the same room all playing together.
The interface is easy to use and it’s easier than ever before to create interactive content that is easy to engage with. Players can each use the app on their own device, so there’s no need for any equipment, and the app logs answers and keeps score, so the gameplay is smooth and easy to follow.
Uno
As fans of the classic card game will know, Uno isn’t just a game of matching colors and numbers – it’s also a game of probability with a strategic element (and more than a little luck) and gets better and better the more you play it. The phone app enables a group to chat and message as they play, capturing the essence of what makes Uno so appealing.
Friends can play together whether they are near one another or not – anyone with a phone can download the app and join in, and there is a feature that allows you to invite friends. The app also includes a wide range of variants on the classic game as well as tournaments and other contests between app users.
