5 smart games to keep your teens busy during the holidays

You can see it coming, right? It's inevitable: without classes or homework, without friends, your teen will probably fill these 16 endless days by playing video games and chatting online with friends they miss more than ever during this lockdown — this time — mandatory. The solution is to mix utility with fun by letting them play smart video games! Yes, really... and Blacknut offers 5 to keep your young teen busy during the holidays.

Serial Cleaner

Does your teen hate cleaning their room? But they become a camouflage expert when it comes to hiding their diary or chips under the bed? Put Serial Cleaner in their hands: they'll at least learn to tidy up crime scenes without leaving a trace and with total discretion. That's something. Because the goal here, beyond cleaning up pools of blood and concealing bodies, is to infiltrate everywhere while evading police surveillance each time. All in all, a humor-filled hide-and-seek game, wrapped in retro design and a wickedly funky vibe. What more could anyone want?

Shelter 2

If adolescence is a tricky period, it's sometimes good to be confronted with real life. For example, the life of a lynx mother fighting for survival, and that of her offspring, in a fairly hostile wilderness. We realize that there are worse things than a forced lockdown or being without friends. In the open world of Shelter 2, you'll need to use all your patience, your cunning, and your knowledge of the animal world to avoid wolves, eagles, and rapids, or simply to get through the winter. No doubt that after so many exhausting trials, your teen will be more conciliatory and much more respectful. We're safe at home, right?

Bounty Train

When homework and classes are done, some games can sometimes take over. That's the case with Bounty Train, which takes you back to the 19th century to explore the American industrial landscape. In short, a strategy and simulation game—real-time trains in focus—blended with an intensive US history lesson. You'll need to help the (real) pioneers of the American economy grow their business, and yours as well. You'll also need to get your hands dirty in the locomotive's engine and, of course, face Native Americans and smugglers. All Aboard!
