Sample Answer 1

Mobile games are a raging trend among the present generation. It is nearly impossible to find a youngster who does not spend a few hours playing a particular game on their mobile phone. It is believed by many that such practices can be detrimental to the overall development of young individuals. Nevertheless, mobile games are a sensational phenomenon across all age groups. I have always been intrigued by mobile and computer games throughout my childhood and teenage life. There was a time when I would spend the better part of my weekends playing video games on my personal computer, either solo or with friends. One particular game that I often play on my phone is Two Dots.

Although video games have been a part of my life ever since elementary school, I discovered Two Dots only a few years ago. I have been playing this game since my first semester of college. I have always found Two Dots to be quite engaging. I do not play this as frequently as I used to play other popular games like GTA or PUBG. However, I spend at least a few minutes playing Two Dots every day.

Two Dots falls in the genre of puzzle games and challenges players to use their intellect and presence of mind to pass through various stages. In this game, the player needs to match the same colored circles or dots in different ways to clear the board. Also, several other features in this game make it appealing to numerous players.

One of the primary reasons for my interest in Two Dots is the presence of challenging moments where the player has to carefully study the board and make clever moves to clear the level. The game also offers different in-game minigames that are interesting and fun to play.

Sample Answer 2

Playing games on the mobile phone has become very common nowadays. Surprisingly, it is not just the hardcore gamers or collegegoers who play games, but even older people sit engrossed for hours, playing games on their smartphones. Here, I’d like to talk about a game which I play on my smartphone whenever I’m unoccupied. The application’s name is Word Connect, which is a crossword-style game combined with a word search. I have been playing this game for quite a long time now. The application has been designed with an aim to increase the player’s communication skills and widen their vocabulary in a fun and interactive way. There are more than 3,000 levels in this fun word puzzle game, and the players can progress at their own pace. With each level, the intensity of the game gets increasingly difficult. Moreover, an individual can make real-time money by playing Word Content. Suppose they have a balance of over $100, and if they want to get it, they have to beat more than 6000 levels in the game. However, the more games an individual plays, the less money they make per level because the frequency of earning money decreases per level. So, the individual must play the longest game.  I love playing this word/strategy game on my mobile phone as these kinds of apps improve our ability to think critically and are highly entertaining and educational. Moreover, I can play Word Connect anytime, anywhere, even without a network connection.
