Ludo King
Ludo King was launched in 2016, but it became one of the top five most installed mobile games in April 2020.

Pokemon Go
In 2020, Pokemon Go’s revenue went up by 31.5%. Pokemon Go Fest held on July 17 and 18, 2021 grossed 21 million dollars as people all over the world chased brightly coloured virtual animals and caught 1.5 billion of them. It means Pokemon hunters virtually walked 125 million kilometers and completed 23 million raids. If this sounds weird, check out the game, we are sure you would enjoy it.
Among Us
Among Us became the most downloaded mobile game worldwide in September 2020 with 83.8 million installs. Indian kids are going crazy about it this year. It’s a multiplayer game about teamwork and betrayal. 4 to 15 players make a team trying to run a spaceship, while a hidden betrayer tries to kill everyone else. Anyone above 10 years can enjoy this virtual reality space mission.
Coin Master
Remember Farmville on Facebook? Coin Master is a bit like that, and teens love it. Coins have to be collected to save and build a virtual village, protect it, and attack other villages. There are other ‘weapons’ available, such as any of the 5 magical shields or a pet rhino. Spin, win and play through 300 thematic village adventures. One word of caution, it’s a game and not a gamble, and that has to be kept in mind.
Lego Games
Lego toys are wonderful but expensive. So now virtual versions of the Lego sets for all ages are available on one of the most downloaded apps – and the best part is – most of it is free! Check out their virtual building blocks and have hours of fun.
