• 0:34Speaker 02

  I did not do particularly well when I first started playing it. And it was embarrassing. It can be embarrassing to realize that you really do not have a great sense of where anything is.

• 0:51Speaker 01

  Millions of us play little daily games on our phones. They've become as much a part of our mornings as brushing our teeth or having news alerts send us into spirals of despair.

• 1:00Speaker 02

  But if you're looking to expand the horizons of your morning distractions beyond Wordle and connections, we are here for you. I'm Linda Holmes.

• 1:08Speaker 01

  And I'm Glen Weldon. Let's get right into it. No need to shilly shally. Linda, you play lots and lots of these games, so we're going to follow your lead. What is your first recommendation for us?

• 1:17Speaker 02

  Well, yeah, what I wanted to do is move a little bit beyond the New York Times Word games, which are probably the ones that people talk about the most. So we're not going to talk about any of those at all, even though I play some of them, you know, from time to time. But we're going to talk about other ones entirely. They're not word games and they're not from the Times. And the first one I want to tell you about is a game called MapTap.

• 1:40Speaker 01

  Okay.

• 1:40Speaker 02

  MapTap is a game where they will give you a place, which is relevant to something that has happened on this day in history.

• 1:49Speaker 01

  Oh, okay.

• 1:49Speaker 02

  So it's a place where either someone was born who did something on this day, or a place where something happened, or something like that. And they just give you the name of the place. And usually it will be, most commonly, a city and then a province or an area and then a country. So for example, it'll tell you, you know, Birmingham, Alabama, United States, right? And then it shows you the globe and it's like a 3D rotating globe. And it has no markings on it in terms of like countries, anything like that. It's just undifferentiated planet.

• 2:23Speaker 01

  Right.

• 2:24Speaker 02

  It's interesting to learn that it is difficult for me to even figure out where I live without like state lines and stuff like that. It takes me a second to, you know, be certain about which is, anyway. So you just have to tap on the place that they have asked you for. And there are five, and the closer you get, the more points you get. So it's basically a geography quiz, which when I first started playing it, I found incredibly humbling. I did not do particularly well when I first started playing it. And it was embarrassing. It can be embarrassing to realize that you really do not have a great sense of where anything is.

• 3:03Speaker 02

  Once you play this for a while, this is what I like about it, is you actually learn stuff and get better at it. I also have, I think it's like 15 bucks a year or something like that. You can buy their premium. And then you can do like as many practice rounds and they have all kinds of, you know, just find these cities in India over and over and over and over again until you can find all of them easily. I really love this game and it actually feels like it improves me in a way that maybe other ones don't. I love MapTap.

• 3:33Speaker 01

  All right, this is MapTap and we're gamifying real world knowledge. I love it. First off, a little behind the scenes, this list came to me in a prep doc that we use for the show and it was on my laptop. So I clicked over and tried to play these games on my laptop trackpad. Don't do that.

• 3:47Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 3:48Speaker 01

  These are all the games we're going to be talking about today, our phone games.

• 3:52Speaker 02

  These are best as mobile games, I think for sure. I wouldn't say none of them can be played otherwise, but I think they're all optimized to be mobile games.

• 4:00Speaker 01

  I will say there are several games like this, geography learning games like this.

• 4:04Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 4:04Speaker 01

  But I really like this because the UI is so smooth. I love the look of it. I love spinning the globe with my little finger.

• 4:10Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 4:10Speaker 01

  And sometimes when you're spinning the globe, things happen, like a little comet speeds by. Has that ever happened to you?

• 4:15Speaker 02

  Yeah, a comet will speed by. And every once in a while, for the first time recently, I had them ask me for something that wasn't a city strictly or a place. It said, tap on where you think the Titanic sank.

• 4:27Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 4:28Speaker 02

  And that's a different kind of challenge. And I got very close. I was very, very glad. I also appreciate the fact that this will make fun of you a little bit if you get it really, really wrong, which I do sometimes do.

• 4:40Speaker 01

  Yeah, the game definitely gets a little cheeky if you screw up to the extent that I often do. It has a nice range of difficulty too, as you mentioned. It starts, tends to start off pretty simple.

• 4:48Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 4:48Speaker 01

  I also like that you agreed with me that a comet sped by, because I was worried it was a cerebral event.

• 4:52Speaker 02

  No.

• 4:52Speaker 01

  So I'm glad, because it doesn't happen often and sometimes when it does, I get a little worried. So yeah, this is a lot of fun. Okay, next up is a game called Catfishing. Tell me about it.

• 5:00Speaker 02

  Yeah. So MapTap I consider to be like a middle level difficult game. Catfishing is a very hard game, in my opinion.

• 5:09Speaker 01

  Yes, it is.

• 5:09Speaker 02

  There have been several versions of this game that have kind of floated out over the history of Wikipedia, which is the foundation of this game. So what happens in this game is they give you a list of, I think not all, but some of the Wikipedia categories that the Wikipedia page for a thing is listed under. You know, if it's going to be a particular explorer, the game will just say, you know, Italian explorers, history of whatever the places that the person explored and on and on and on. They are so hard and there is a divide between the ones I don't get because I just don't quite put it together that that's what they're going for.

• 5:53Speaker 02

  And the ones I simply have never heard of the thing that they're talking about and I never would have gotten it, no matter how long I sat there, because I simply have never heard of that historical event. Or they love to have ones that are like, you know, this was a science experiment in Germany in the 1800s. And like, that's a perfectly valid, awesome thing to have a Wikipedia page about. I am not going to know the name of it because it's not multiple choice. It doesn't autofill. You got to type it in for yourself. They ask you 10 each day. My average score last time I looked was like 4.2. And the highest I've ever gotten is eight.

• 6:34Speaker 02

  It's not uncommon for me to get two, three out of 10. I think this game is extremely difficult, but I am always so excited when I get something right.

• 6:46Speaker 01

  Oh, right.

• 6:47Speaker 02

  And I do appreciate the fact that there's a button that says close enough. So when they reveal the answer, if you look at it and you're like, that was close enough, you can mark it close enough yourself. And at the end, it'll tell you, you got three right and two that you decided were close enough. And I love that feature. I think that's so cool.

• 7:04Speaker 01

  I mean, listeners, Linda's not lying here. This game is tough. This is a general knowledge game, general knowledge for Jeopardy champions. I'm talking real Jeopardy, not Celebrity Jeopardy, not College Jeopardy. I find this ridiculously hard, especially when we're eight questions in and suddenly I'm hip deep in European political history of the 1640s. It's like, I don't belong here. What am I doing here?

• 7:25Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 7:25Speaker 01

  This is not my beautiful house.

• 7:26Speaker 02

  Absolutely.

• 7:27Speaker 01

  This morning, however, I did get eight out of 10.

• 7:29Speaker 02

  Uh huh. Isn't it the best?

• 7:31Speaker 01

  That never happens.

• 7:31Speaker 02

  Isn't it the best?

• 7:32Speaker 01

  I'm way down at three normally.

• 7:33Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 7:34Speaker 01

  The first time I played this, because it was so tough, I was really down on it. I was like, I'm never going to play this again. Because I don't like to be reminded that I'm dumb or ignorant, which are not the same thing, of course, but they are related. But then something magical happens, Linda, when you get to the end. Your score is slotted alongside everyone else's play that day. And every time, no matter what score I get, that's when my slough of despond turns into a bright sunny day, because I'm just as dumb as everyone else.

• 7:59Speaker 02

  Yes, nobody else knows anything either when it comes to some of this stuff.

• 8:02Speaker 01

  Exactly. I'm not alone in not knowing what the hell the Neapolitan revolt of 1647 was. And frankly, Linda, I don't think I could be casual friends with somebody who knew what the Neapolitan revolt of 1647 was off the dome. Because the kind of people who know what the Neapolitan revolt of 1647 is, are the kind of people who never shut up about the Neapolitan revolt of 1647. They're always talking about the taxation of fruit.

• 8:23Speaker 02

  And they probably don't know all the other stuff in the thing.

• 8:25Speaker 01

  Absolutely.

• 8:26Speaker 02

  You know?

• 8:26Speaker 01

  So yeah, you know about the storming of the Palace of the Viceroy, but I know Batman. So let's keep that in perspective.

• 8:32Speaker 02

  My favorite thing that has ever happened to me while playing Catfishing was, at one point, it was very clear that they were looking for someone who was related to William Shakespeare. But it wasn't exactly clear like who or how related or whatever. And the other stuff didn't really mean anything to me. I'm not an expert on the life of William Shakespeare, but it was clear that it was a woman who was related to William Shakespeare in some way. And I was like, I'm just going to pick out of the air, like what would be a woman's name at that time? I'm just going to be like, Anne. And then it's like, Anne who? Anne Shakespeare. And you know what it was? It was Anne Shakespeare.

• 9:06Speaker 01

  There you go.

• 9:07Speaker 02

  And I was incredibly proud of my wild guess.

• 9:10Speaker 01

  You can back into seeming smart. I love when that happens.

• 9:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, I absolutely loved it. It made me so happy. This game, Catfishing is so hard, but it is very rewarding when you go one right.

• 9:21Speaker 01

  So that is Catfishing. Okay, next up is Time Guesser, G-U-E-S-S-R, because of the internet. Tell me about it.

• 9:28Speaker 02

  Yes, exactly. So Time Guesser is a game, sort of like MapTap. It involves some geography, but they give you five.

• 9:37Speaker 02

  Photos a day. Every question begins with a photo. Your task is to locate on a timeline the year the photo was taken and to locate on a map where the photo was taken. Some of them are extremely historically significant photos. You know, there was one that I did a while ago that was the storming the beaches of Normandy and that kind of stuff. But a lot of them are just like people shopping in Milan in the 1960s and stuff like that. So you constantly are searching the photos for clues. You know, you're trying to figure out like, what are the people wearing to figure out what era it is?

• 10:19Speaker 01

  Right.

• 10:20Speaker 02

  What do the people look like? What language is on the signs? Because sometimes I'll look at it and I'm like, oh, it's not Russian. It's, what language is that? These also range in difficulty. And sometimes somewhere in the photo, there is a clear clue to where you are. Somewhere in little tiny print, somewhere in a sign that says Detroit. And in fact, you're in Detroit. But sometimes they're very misleading, Glenn. Sometimes they are very misleading because the fact that a business might have an office in London doesn't mean the photo was taken in London, even if a nearby sign says, bloody, bloody, blah, London. So they can be misleading. And I love this game because again, as with MapTap, I gradually get better at this as

• 11:04Speaker 02

  I play it over and over and over again. I get better at saying, I always think the cars looked like this at this time, but actually they looked like this more at this earlier time. And oh geez, there's Volkswagen Beetles in this picture. When were they introduced again? And I really, really like this one. Again, I feel like I actually learned something.

• 11:24Speaker 01

  Yeah, absolutely. And, and the way you triangulate is with three factors. Car design is often a factor, architecture and fashion.

• 11:31Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 11:32Speaker 01

  And these photos tend to be old enough that they precede the kind of Americanization of culture, like the jeans and sneakerification of the world before everything kind of got homogenous. And so it also helps to be a fan of classic movies because you have an advantage there because things like the presence or absence of men's hats will tell you a lot, the specific kinds of women's hats, the height of waistlines on men. If they're up around the nipples, you're in the 30s, baby. It helps. It helps a lot. So yeah, so that is Time Guesser. Okay, after the break, we've got some more game recommendations, including one that's my favorite because it is very low stress. So stick around.

  Welcome back. And not for nothing, but if you're not following Pop Culture Happy Hour yet, fix that, fix your hearts, get fixed, hit that follow button on your preferred podcast app and stay plugged in on all things PCHH-adjacent. Now, Lynda, your next recommendation is a game called The Loop. This is my jam. Talk to me about it.

• 13:59Speaker 02

  So this is the game that I often play first thing in the morning. This is a gentle game. This is a game that to me is not too overly complicated. They give you 12 very simple illustrations, like cartoon illustrations of something. And then you have to figure out how they all fit together so that they form a circle and each one is related to the ones on either side of it. For example, if you have something like, let's say, a credit card, then next to it on one side might be a check because, you know, they're both forms of payment. And on the other side, maybe you would have a playing card, right?

• 14:38Speaker 02

  Also, sometimes things are linked by concept, like you could have a zip line next to a skydiver because they're both sort of adventure in the air kinds of things. Every once in a while, they get real, real tricky in a way that I just think, I don't know about that, man. There was one where I think Lucille Ball was next to something like a screwdriver or a light bulb or something like that. And they said, well, she's Lucy, and when you screw things in, it's righty-tighty, lefty, Lucy. And I was like, nope, nope, nope, nope. That is too attenuated. I reject that.

• 15:16Speaker 01

  Yeah.

• 15:16Speaker 02

  Fortunately, this is a game where they give you so many chances to redo it.

• 15:21Speaker 01

  Right.

• 15:21Speaker 02

  And it'll tell you if they're, yes, they're connected to each other, but this isn't the right spot for them to be in and stuff like that. It won't let you mess up ones that you have right. And you get, like I said, so many chances to redo it that I have never not successfully completed this game, no matter how confused I get sometimes about individual ones and I can't figure them out. But this is my gentle game. This is my, I woke up, it's still six in the morning. I don't really feel like getting out of bed, but maybe I'll just like tickle my brain with something fairly low stress and I'll play The Loop.

• 15:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, I love this too. There's a simplicity here. You nailed it. You mentioned it. There's a really, also, as you mentioned, a really intuitive way to check your progress and a forgiving intuitive way to check your progress. And the first time through, I thought this was going to be purely determined by the concept of these images, not the words. But this sometimes is a stealth word game.

• 16:10Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 16:10Speaker 01

  Sometimes it'll go from boxing match to matchbook.

• 16:13Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 16:13Speaker 01

  But then it will also go from matchbook to newspaper because both can be used as kindling. The biggest breakthrough for me on this game is realizing I don't have to follow it clockwise. You can build this thing counterclockwise if you know some things for sure, because it is a loop. That's what circles are.

• 16:26Speaker 02

  Right.

• 16:26Speaker 01

  Circles can go either way.

• 16:28Speaker 02

  Exactly. It can go either way.

• 16:29Speaker 01

  Even when the connection gets abstract, I don't think it's ever as abstract as the connections in New York Times Connections, which are like, oh, starting with the last three letters of a classic French sauce. It's never that stupid. And I gotta say though, the one thing, I don't love the art. It's a little cutesy. It's a little cartoony. Now, I've become a nerd to it. I reconcile myself to it because it's that way, it looks a little AI-adjacent to me.

• 16:52Speaker 02

  I'm a little worried it might be.

• 16:54Speaker 01

  Yeah. But it's that way, the simplicity of the images to convey what it wants to convey as directly as possible. Like I learned this from Scott MacLeod's Understanding Comics. The simpler the image, the more universal it can be, the more detailed, the more specific it gets and, and the more it refers to only one thing or one kind of thing. So the art is there and it looks like that for a reason, but I love the game. The game is so simple and so clean.

• 17:17Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 17:17Speaker 01

  And as you say, it's a great way to start the day.

• 17:19Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 17:20Speaker 01

  Okay. So once again, that is The Loop. And the final recommendation, Lynda, is Clues by Sam. Talk to me about Clues by Sam.

• 17:27Speaker 02

  So Clues by Sam, if you like those logic puzzles that are like Frank is taller than Jane and shorter than Michael, those kinds of things and the kinds of stuff they put on the LSAT before you go to law school. If you like those kinds of logic puzzles, this is sort of similar to that. It's a grid, four across and five down, and each square is a person. And each person, you have to determine whether they're innocent or a criminal. As you figure out who is innocent and who is a criminal, it's like a card game. You, you flip that person, you tap that person and say whether they're innocent or criminal. And if you're right, it reveals a new clue. Most of the time. Sometimes it just reveals a funny little saying, because if you don't need another

• 18:11Speaker 02

  clue to get another person, then it won't give you one. But one of the things I like about it is you can't guess.

• 18:17Speaker 01

  Absolutely.

• 18:17Speaker 02

  Or you can't guess unless you guess and you happen to guess the thing that there is actually enough evidence to figure out. If he hasn't given you enough information yet to know whether this person is innocent or criminal, and you guess, it'll just be like, nope, you don't know whether this person is innocent or criminal yet. They'll say things like, you know, Frank is one of three criminals in this row. An odd number of innocents neighbor Jane. And I find this game a kind of fascinating time suck. I also really like the fact that it gets harder throughout the week. The Monday ones are much easier and then they go through all the way to Sunday and they get very much, much harder.

• 19:01Speaker 02

  And they're always marked with the difficulty level.

• 19:04Speaker 01

  Right.

• 19:05Speaker 02

  So if you're like, well, maybe I would try out this game. Start with Monday, you know? Start with Monday and you can kind of see how it works. You'll probably not have too difficult of a time with it if this is the kind of game that you might dig. But yeah, I really like this one, too. This is one that I have some friends who are very devoted to playing this, who, you know, as with Wordle and some of the other ones, share their results regularly and how long it took you and how many mistakes you made. And yeah, I like this game.

• 19:33Speaker 01

  I love this game, mostly because of how tremendously reassuring I find it because you can't guess, because it knows when you're trying to guess, because you haven't shown your work, it knows that you've left to a conclusion, and you can't leap to conclusions in this game. There are rules to follow. I'm not a logic person, buddy. I'm a rule follower and this scratches that itch because there is one and only one path to the answer and you cannot cheat it. You also cannot accuse an innocent person because in this world, the law is always applied fairly. It is an instrument of pure logic and reason and things like human emotion and hunches and gut feelings don't enter into the equation. Thank you very much.

• 20:10Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 20:11Speaker 01

  And while you are, you know, apportioning guilt and innocence, so you're kind of a cop, this is not cop again because you know exactly for a fact that what you're doing is always right and good and just.

• 20:20Speaker 02

  Well, right. And also, every person gets a little occupation-

• 20:23Speaker 01

  Absolutely.

• 20:24Speaker 02

  -under their emoji. So, you know, you've got cops and cooks and, you know, teachers and builders and things like that. But you do not find over time that one profession tends to be guilty more than others. So even though it has cops, like, they're perfectly happy to have the cops be totally guilty as much as anybody else is totally guilty, so.

• 20:47Speaker 01

  This is what I want the world to be. This is what I want jury duty to be, and it never is. Like, I just want to go in there and say, no, he cannot be guilty because there is an odd number of criminals who are also chefs, indeed.

• 20:57Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 20:57Speaker 01

  Don't you understand that?

• 20:58Speaker 02

  That's right.

• 20:59Speaker 01

  It would be great.

• 20:59Speaker 02

  All the clues that they give you are always true, right? The clues are accurate and if you follow it, the thing is, there's always a way. And you can get hints if you hit the wall, which I certainly sometimes do. Some of the ones that get very, very hard, it gets to be one of those things where you have to be able to, like, think ahead several moves and think through several conditional possibilities and this can't be this because of this. And it gets a little, you know, gnarly in that way. But you always can figure it out. And what I learned as I got better and better at it is it is less and less common that I have to get hints or that I have to do that kind of six-way analysis because typically

• 21:42Speaker 02

  I kind of know how to stay, I know better how to stay with what's important and with what's going to give me the best information. It gets pretty involved.

• 21:52Speaker 01

  Yeah, so that's Clues by Sam. I don't know who Sam is, but I like their clues.

• 21:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't know who Sam is either, but Sam sends weekly newsletters. You can subscribe. Several of these games have various, like, premium, you know, so that you can get the archive or so that you can get, you know, weekly newsletters or just support it. And believe me when I tell you, this is not the entirety of my games lineup. There's a Spelling Bee game called Beeswax that I play, there's a game called Smush, there's on and on and on and on and on and on.

• 22:21Speaker 01

  All right, five great games. Thank you so much. That brings us to the end of our show. Linda Holmes, again, thank you so much for giving us even more ways to distract us in a time that needs more distractions.
