Which riddle / puzzle / intelligence game I can play only with my phone?
-
I was thinking not pron style of game with difficult riddles, puzzles and lateral thinking solutions that I can play from my phone. I’m willing to pay (once) for a well developed game though.
It's been so long since I played a game on my phone but recently for nostalgic reasons I went looking for Myst. Not sure how well the puzzles hold up to adult me but i really enjoyed it when I was a kid.
There is also The Room which reminded me of Myst that I enjoyed.
I don't know what a "not_pron" style game is so I don't know if my suggestions are relevant though.

I like to play nonogram once in a while.
"Deer My Friend" is a great one I stumbled across, really beautifully made

You could play jackbox with twitch streamers.

2048 will burn at least an hour. It's free, there are tons of clones.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a really good, well polished, roguelike. It may be on the fringes of your request, it's not really a "puzzle" game, but you do need to think a lot to weigh your options constantly.
Free, no ads, no dark patterns.

Simple Solitaire Collection has lots of different solitaire variants. No riddles, but you do have to think a lot. "Napoleon's Tomb" and "Simple Simon" are two interesting variants I learned about from this game. (Simple Simon has simple rules but can be incredibly hard.)

You can't beat "Simon Tatham's Puzzles" for a FOSS puzzle game app. 40 logic and puzzle games. Super simple UI, many puzzles have parameters to customize the difficulty in various ways. All come with detailed explanations of the rules or mechanics.
Various ways to get it. But I think play store is preferred. The f droid repo gave me a compatibility warning when looking it up just now.

For "not pron" style: rusty lake series
Sokoban style: baba is you

Someone else recommended Baba Is You. Highly recommend that too

Depends on what you consider "lateral thinking".
My first recommendation would be cardgame roguelites (Slay the Spire, Balatro).
F-droid has some good logic puzzles (Soko++, Sudoku)

What do you mean by "not pron"?

Cyan released a remake of Myst back in 2021, it works on iOS and still looks stunning.
They also released a remake of Riven last year, though not for mobile.

Hmm, I'm not getting a compatibility warning on F-Droid. I'm on Android 15, are you already on 16 maybe?
