In addition to the hidden Cloud game in the Google Search app that we introduced to you in our previous article , there are seven other (!) hidden games on your Android smartphone. You can see and play them without requiring an internet connection. Essentially, you will need to be offline on your phone to play the games and have a good time.
The games are Balloon, Solitaire, Snake, Whirlybird, Minesweeper, Cricket, Pac-man. With all this we guarantee that you will not get bored of being somewhere without internet. Everything is available on any Android mobile phone, regardless of brand. They are essentially integrated into Google's Play Store app, which in turn is integrated into almost all Android phones anyway, so you can enjoy it almost anywhere.
If you want to see and play them follow these steps:
Step 1. First turn off the internet connection on your Android phone. If you are using mobile data, turn it off. If you are using Wi-Fi connection, turn off the Wi-Fi function.
Step 2a. On your phone's home screen, open the Play Store app.
Step 2b. Type anything into the Play Store Search box. The text doesn't matter as the internet connection is disabled and the app is going to display the "You are Offline" page, which you essentially want to reveal to see the secret games.
Step 3. Once you type anything into the Google Search box and tap the search icon, the Google app will display a message that you are offline.
On the same page you will see the prompt "Play while you wait" with Android suggesting you three games to play. The Balloon, Solitaire, and Snake. You can press whoever you want to play immediately.
Step 4. But there's more. To see it, scroll down and tap the "Open" button next to "Play Games," which is under the "More Offline Games" heading.
Your phone will show you a new screen with six games, Whirlybird, Minesweeper, Snake, Solitaire, Cricket, Pac-man.
Tap whoever you want to play the full screen game. The graphics are good enough to spend at least some time offline. See a sample from Pac-Man:
Maybe it will be a redemption if you find yourself in a ten-day quarantine due to covid-19 and without internet !!
