Vita Mahjong enhances the classic solitaire puzzle with different game modes, challenges and leaderboards. With options to shuffle the pieces or use a hint if you ever get really stuck, it’s sure to keep you glued.

What we love: Vita Mahjong developer Vita Studio says that more than half a million players have enjoyed the digital take on the game, and it’s not hard to see why. It has large, colourful tiles that are super satisfying to match, as well as providing the right amount of challenge. As the levels grow more complex, different tiles with special abilities are introduced, so there’s always something new to take into account when playing tactically.

Quick tip: Make sure you check out Vita Mahjong’s alternate game modes and limited-time challenges. These have different themes that keep the game fresh. One of our favourites is a journey theme that adds anchors to the game board, which must be cleared to complete the level.

Meet the creator: Based in Singapore, Vita Studio specialises in puzzle games designed for older players. It has a large back catalogue of games inspired by traditional puzzles, including Vita Crossword, Vita Sudoku and Vita Jigsaw.
