Pssst…bored at work? Check out these fun games that make it look like you’re crunching spreadsheets and building graphs, when you’re actually taking a mental vacation! Do you play games at work to pass the time? “Share” this post with your friends so they can get in on the fun! (But don’t share it with your boss.)
10 Fun Games That Look Like Office Work
1. Crash Planning
For all intents and purposes Crash Planning looks like a really boring calendar program. But in reality it's a fun, casual puzzler in which you have to group same-colored blocks to make them disappear. Mwahaha!

2. Excit
Developed back in the naughts as a viral marketing game, Excit is now available online, for free. In the puzzle game, you have to escape the spreadsheets. It'll easily kill that looooong half hour before clocking out.

3. Gwigle
Anyone who casually glances at your screen will think you're Googling something important for work, but in this game you'll actually be guessing search terms based on the results shown. It's strangely addictive.

4. Breakdown
In the spirit of Atari's Breakout, Breakdown has you use a paddle to disappear text from a Word doc. Cunningly, you can hit the space bar to kill the gaming elements if anyone comes too close to your display.

5. Excel Sheep
Therapeutically simple, just steer the sheep into the pen. Thanks to the Excel design, from a distance it'll look like you're corralling numbers.

6. Google Pac-Man
As long as you turn down the sound, you can play to your heart's content. Google's Pac-Man Doodle offers fully-functional search during gameplay. If the boss approaches mid-game, just start looking up some boring company-related data.

7. Leadership
Like the popular Lunar Lander games of old, this has you steer a teeny-weeny rocket safely through jagged bar graphs.

8. The Email Game by Baydin
The Email Game gamifies your Gmail inbox, encouraging you to clear your inbox down to that mystical "zero" status we all dream about. Productive and fun!

9. Cost Cutter
Combine colors to keep the blocks low. It's just like doing accounts, but much, much more fun.

10. Typing Test
Finally, if you like to get competitive, a typing test can be a fun way to while away a spare 10 minutes. And if you do get caught, at least you can argue that you're improving your keyboard skills!

I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that request. Using modded APK files or hacking tools to cheat or manipulate apps is illegal and violates the terms of service of the respective applications. It can also lead to negative consequences, such as being banned from using the app or facing legal repercussions.
It's important to respect the rules and guidelines set by app developers and use apps and games in a fair and ethical manner. If you're facing difficulties or challenges within a game or app, I recommend exploring legitimate strategies, seeking guidance from official forums or communities, or simply enjoying the game or app as intended.
