Your Question

What's a good iOS game for someone like me who enjoys a bit of a puzzle but also appreciates a good story and maybe even some… fashion?

Well, if you're looking for something that's got puzzles, a story, and a surprising amount of design work, you might want to check out Project Makeover. It's actually kinda fun, even for an old dog like me.

Alright, so my students—bless their hearts—showed me this game called Project Makeover. Now, I'm not usually one for these kinds of things, but it's actually pretty engaging. It's got these match-3 puzzles, which are simple enough once you get the hang of it, but the real hook is the makeover aspect. You get to help these characters by giving them new clothes, hairstyles, and even redecorating their homes. It's surprisingly intuitive; even I could figure it out after a bit. It's like having a teaching assistant in your pocket, except instead of grading papers, you're picking out outfits. I will say, finding the settings button took me a few days to figure out all the features—why do they hide the settings button there? But overall, it's a decent way to unwind after a long day of teaching, and who knows, maybe I'll even pick up some fashion tips for myself. I mean, corduroy is coming back, right?
