The recent pandemic brought many changes on our lifestyles, work set-ups and even work schedules. For many, they were requested to go onsite while others are still currently in hybrid mode. With the hybrid setup, employees are allowed to work remotely on some days while onsite in the remaining days of the week. Others still get to do their grind 100% at home. With that, these employees still have a lot of spare time to do side hustles while others are getting overwhelmed and explore some video games. And while others are being hooked in open-world action RPG and MMORPG games, some prefer simple and free video games.
I bumped into this free online gaming site from a mortgage calculator platform and it is amusing to know how far online games has gone these days! With their games, I can say that game developers nowadays are very much updated with what is happening around us. They now highlight business, industry, and environment-inspired games that we can play while being educated. What a way to play and learn, huh!
With a variety of games to choose from, the online mortgage calculator site highlights the strategies you can make when running a business. From being a real estate tycoon to a crypto investor, from burger shop to a pizzeria, and from a jewelry store to a flower shop.
And since my work is already a bit challenging, I got fascinated playing some of these games below:
HIDDEN FOOD
Food ingredients and kitchen appliances were jumbled and you must look for whatever is being requested and how many of those items are being required to find. It is time-pressured of course, so the challenge lies when the object that is being searched was presented in a very tiny manner. With the variety of colors, seems the Hidden Food game was really designed to confuse anyone. You will really wish there is an image zoom button, especially if you are playing via mobile.
FLOWER SHOP
A flower shop business simulation game where you need to swiftly serve customers with their preferred floral variety and arrangement. I find this game so cute with the characters wearing Disney costumes and the staff is a fairy.
So, I think the reason why she can serve faster is that she can fly lol. Kidding aside, strategy is the name of the game. In this game, I can serve two (2) customers since I have two hands and can hold one order for each hand. And before serving them, I can already take new orders. Also, I make a pre-order before I leave any table so that stocks are being replenished as I process and serve other customers. I find this game simple but really enchanting.
JEWEL SHOP
Another simple brain simulation type of game featuring a jewelry shop where clients prefer to purchase a particular jewelry or a gem. Jewelries and gems were categorized i.e rings, necklace, etc. and an option for a gold or silver version are available. The Jewel Shop game is almost the same with The Flower Shop game, except that some of the jewelries could take time to prepare. Some, if not all clients, may look for the exact same order with others. And as the game advance to a higher level, the time allotted for each client ordering for jewelries with gems gets shorter and shorter. So, you really must think of how you could quickly take and deliver each order.
There are lots of games I tried and enjoyed playing but I also find the site so valuable for their financial management guides and how to save money tips. With the range of mortgage calculators available, mortgage payment information would now be easy to figure out.
