10 great smartphone games to take away with you

Last Updated on July 19, 2023 by snaphappytravel

Let’s face it, while people tend to frequent beautiful countries like New Zealand to switch off from technology and avoid work emails for a few weeks; it can be impossible to leave every single electronic device at home. For many, that definitely applies to smartphones, with people struggling to part ways with their miniature handheld devices, even for a short while. 

In fairness, smartphones can come in handy during a traveling adventure. Some people need them to capture high-quality images, while others use their phones to arrange various things, be it a taxi into town or a boat ride the next day. They’re used as entertainment tools, too, particularly with regard to gaming. In fact, mobile gaming is absolutely booming right now. With that in mind, let’s take a look at 10 great games to take away with you.
