Today we are facing a very difficult situation, when we have to forget about parties, lectures, going to the gym or to restaurants or cafes. In such conditions, many people don’t know what to do and how to entertain themselves.

Still, we have to stay at home and do something in order to keep ourselves busy. There are many ways to do it: reading books, doing exercises, talking to your friends online, etc.

Another nice option is to find some interesting apps that will entertain you. This is what we have done. Here is a list of the most exciting apps that will keep you busy during the time of quarantine.

Plants vs Zombies 2

This game is extremely popular, most gamers have played it at least one time. But if you haven’t, it’s high time you tried it.

The game itself is so addictive. Once you start, you can hardly stop, because there are so many levels and challenges. You can discover a huge number of locations as well.

This game requires building good tactics and long-term thinking. What you need to do is to protect your house from zombies. But you can not shoot them with a gun, that’s not how it happens in this game.

You protect yourself via using plants. The thing is that every plant has its own special abilities: shooting with peas or fireballs, protecting, poisoning zombies or making them change the direction of their movement.

This is why you need to study well all the plants (you can do it using the Almanach of Zombies and Plants).

This game is free of charge, but you will have to put up with the add. Still, they don’t appear too often, so it’s unlikely you will be distracted by this.

Eyes

This one of the most exciting and a bit terrifying gamer. Eyes is an indie horror, so what you need to do is to hide from a mysterious creature inside the house.

Another thing is that you also need to collect little purses in order to get out of the house. Keep an eye on the drawings on the walls. Should you see an image of an eye, tap on it. So you collect such eyes and then use them.

These eyes help you to see the location of a creature. In other words, you see the house through the eyes o this disturbing creature. This is why you can figure out its location easily.

And if you see yourself, it means that the disturbing creature is right in front of you. If you fail to hide from the monster, you lose.

We need to say that Eyes is a horror. Keep this in mind, especially if you are looking for a family game. We would not recommend you to play Eyes with children.

Eyes are available in App Store and Google Play.

This is a story-based choice game. As you go through the story, you need to read the subtitles and pick one option that seems more or less logical and convenient for you.
