Doors&Rooms

Hey, what's a game doing here if this is slideshow is all about serious work apps? Well, you've got to take a break every now and then, and Gameday's Doors&Rooms is a great time-waster. This claustrophobic brain-twister has managed to be both hugely popular -- check out its stellar ratings on both iTunes and Google Play -- while flying under the radar, at least in terms of media coverage.

Doors&Rooms is simple yet strangely compelling. You're a prisoner in a locked, windowless room -- possibly awaiting some form of grisly interrogation -- and you must find a way to escape. A tap here or there reveals objects or clues that may help you open the door; once you escape, the next stage has you back in the same room, but with a different set of challenges.
