Long cab rides can be extremely boring unless you’re one of those who love to make small talk with the driver or listen to his choice of (sometimes shady) music. Whether it is commuting to work or travelling to a friend’s place who lives far away, long cab rides are the most dreaded part and sometimes, the traffic can just add to the pain. So what do you during those never-ending cab rides? Do you resign yourself to fate or do you take matters into your own hands? Well, if you fall in the first category, God’s your only hope but if you fall in the second, well then, I’m your best friend. Here are some mini-games you can download on your phone for all the times you wish you weren’t in the cab!
1. UNO™ & Friends
You may not have your real friends with you but your virtual friends can come to rescue you from the misery that is a boring cab ride. Plus, who doesn’t know how to play UNO?

2. The Wolf Among Us
A murder investigation has never been more fun! You’re the protagonist, Bilby Wolf and you need to investigate the murder of a woman. You won’t even know how quickly the cab ride will pass you by!

3. Dumb Ways To Die
Don’t worry, you won’t be dealing with suicidal thoughts. In fact, you’ll get to be the saviour. The life of 58 charming but dumb characters is in the hands of the player and you need to save them from dying and collect them for your train station!

4. TETRIS
I do not even need to explain why we’re all addicted to this game. And if you don’t know, you’ll find out once you start playing it!

5. Helix Jump
It’s all about bouncing your ball through the helix tower labyrinth. Possibly one of the easiest games to play even though it could possibly be the most addictive!

6. Adventure Escape: Allied Spies
Adventure Escape has a bunch of games you can play but this one is my favourite. In each level, you have to pick up the clues and objects that’ll help you clear the level and get closer to solving the mystery.

7. Chicken Scream
This has to be one of the funniest games out there! A chicken is trying to cross obstacles and you need to make it walk by talking and jump by screaming. Just a heads up, not the best game if you’re sharing the cab with an unknown person.

8. Jetpack Joyride – India Exclusive
We’ve all played this game at least once but do you know what is the best part of the game? Comedians Tanmay Bhat, Biswa Kalyan Rath and Zakir Khan play different villains in the game!

9. Plants vs. Zombies
The game is super easy – as a house owner, you need to place different types of plants around your home to ensure that the zombies don’t enter it and ‘eat your brains’.
