Hi, I have a primary school girl who wants her share of gaming on the family android tablet.

While finding open source or commercial games with no ads that boys like is doable, I haven’t been able to find the kind of games a girl wants:

  • with cute graphics
  • where you care for dolls or pet
  • no ads or subscriptions, no endless DLC.

Do you have any recommendations for android games that fit the bill?

    Have you tried minecraft? My 12 year old niece loves minecraft.

    Also, pokemon. My niece loved it when she was younger.

      +1. My youngest sister plays some weird fake Minecraft clone that’s free on mobile. I have no idea what the game is about, but she loves it and gets to socialize with her friends over there

        Minecraft is already free on mobile, via Pojav Launcher, lol. And VoxelLibre is a pretty good FOSS clone on all platforms.

      Which Pokémon game would you recommend? She’s tried house, go, and quest, but only liked the first.
