I am posting this in GQ because it is a factual question about a game – -- –

A friend showed me a game on her phone called “100 Doors.” I was instantly hooked!!!

But I do not have an android-type phone.

Yes, I’m tempted to get one lol; but really, I can’t afford the service so I’m wondering if there’s any wasy to play the game on a pc?

Thanks!

There’s also an Android emulator called Bluestacks which you can use for Android apps on your pc.

There are also inexpensive (\< $300) android tablets (the Nexus 7, for example) that don’t require any ongoing service payments (because they’re not phones).

I wouldn’t recommend simulating this game on a PC, as some of the puzzles are solved by the way you move the tablet (or phone).

And most desk top monitors are too heavy to shake.

Oh, and now I am remembering the first 21" CRT monitors that came out for PCs. It would turn “100 doors” into a 2 player fitness game 😃
