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?

    I don’t think they do actual games for kids anymore, they are money-traps most of the time.

    I’d search instead for old console games and play them on an emulator on Android.

    It might be very confusing for a child if she has never played on a console though, since no touchscreen support and having buttons on the screen instead.
