Why we picked this?

In the latest installment in The Lost series, Uncle Henry has used the map you discovered in The Lost Ship to track down the location of the pirate’s cove. Travel down winding paths and through ancient structures in order to pick up clues and solve puzzles. A built-in hint system will assist you when you’re stuck, and a dynamic map will ensure you won’t simply go running around in circles.

The Lost Treasure is about as classic of a point and click adventure game as you can get. Well, that’s if you look past the beautifully rendered beach and jungle scenes, but why would you want to do that?

The Lost Treasure is the follow-up to The Lost Ship, so if you haven’t played it already, you probably should.

Calendarium helps you live in the present and the past.

The bottom portion includes all of the historical events and major holidays that occurred on this very day. Tap and hold on an event or holiday to share it via Twitter, Facebook, Messages, or email.

If you’re a history buff, you’re going to love Calendarium. Each and everyday day there’s something new to learn about the history of the world.

You can’t filter the content, so if the idea of learning about every not-so-positive thing that has happened throughout human history bothers you, then skip this one.

Teeter puts you in control of a bar with a ball safely resting on top of it. You’re able to lift each side of the bar by tapping on the sides of the screen. The objective is to get the ball safely into the correct hole. It may sound easy, but as you progress through the game new dangerous holes are added along with objects that will impede the bar. The game includes 120 levels, multiple themes, and 3D Touch enhanced controls.

With its simple tap and hold controls, Teeter can be enjoyed by anyone. It’s also a delight to look at.

Levels don’t have high scores, so you can only compete by progress.
