Thanks to iOS 10, it’s now easier than ever to discreetly be off task during class. The software update, among other things, has incorporated a variety of apps directly into iMessage. One free app that has become especially popular among students is GamePigeon. GamePigeon allows players to challenge friends in 11 different games via iMessage.
Click that, when that opens, in the lower left bottom there are 4 ovals, click that. Game pigeon should be listed in your stickers. Just hold it down until it wiggles and it should allow you to delete it. The goal of this mirror is to create a near 1:1 copy of Sarah's repo before the files on it were removed. To do this, I went back to Sarah's repo on GitHub and downloaded all the files before the commit when she deleted everything. I love game pigeon and all, but are a few flaws. Idk if it’s my phone (I don’t think it is it’s new) but whenever I try to just tap on GP to open it it doesn’t work so I have to open App Store, search up the app and tap open.
Of course, not every game is created equal. To help fellow time-wasters, the Crier decided to rank the best and worst of what GamePigeon has to offer.

- 8-Ball: The simplicity of 8-ball makes it outrageously addictive. Its instant popularity at Conant is a testament to that, which is why it earned its place at the top of this list. Like with other 8-Ball apps, the goal is aim and shoot the balls on the virtual pool table into the pockets while avoiding the black 8-ball, but playing the game against your iMessage contacts fuels the competition. Don’t bother with the difficult mode, as the gams immediately goes from fun to impossible and frustrating.
- Anagrams: If you like word games, this is one of the best out there. You are given five letters and one minute to make more words than your friend. The game’s short length is convenient, and the face-off is highly competitive and fun.
- Sea Battle: Again, the concept here is nothing new: attack your opponent’s grid to find all the ships they’ve placed. What takes this version to the next level are the graphics, particularly the “explosions” when you hit a player’s ship.
- Gomoku: This severely underrated game has origins in ancient Japan.The object of the game is to get five pieces in a row before your opponent. It’s an easy enough premise, but there is a surprising amount of strategy required.
- Knock-out: In Knock-out, you command your four penguins to try to knock your friend’s penguins off the block of ice you share while they try to do the same. It’s fun to watch the penguins slide around after being released. The game is usually finished after only a couple rounds.
- Checkers: There isn’t much to say about this–it’s just a classic game of checkers. It’s pretty mindless, but a good way to kill time. Unfortunately, just like real checkers, it can drag on a bit towards the end.
- 4 in a Row: Yes, you can now use a device intended for school work to play a game you probably mastered when you were in kindergarten. 4 in a Row is just as boring as you remember it being. Gomoku is a similar but more interesting option.
- 9-Ball: This recently added game isn’t bad; it just feels unnecessary. It’s a lot like 8-ball, except it’s less fun and has more rules.
- Dots and Boxes: I have never been a fan of this game, but the classic setting for it–in a restaurant with crayons on a paper tablecloth–is a lot better than the iPad.
- 20 Questions: 20 Questions is a fine game, but there’s absolutely no reason to use GamePigeon to play it. The interface is cumbersome and takes away from the rapid-fire style of the game.
- Poker: This virtual poker offers no tutorials, a major flaw that made it worthless for beginners like myself. For seasoned players, though, it may still provide decent entertainment value.
Well, this is an odd one—but may be of some use to those interested in understanding the psychology going on at their poker table.
Researchers at Warwick University in the U.K. have come out with comments that claim there is a parallel between the brains of people while they gamble at a casino and the brains of pigeons in the perpetual search for food.
“Gamblers are greedy bird-brains,” the Aug. 27 press release stated boldly.
Basically, humans and pigeons were put through a series of chance games that involved making high-risk decisions for high-reward payoffs. Both groups of test subjects, when presented with an equal number of higher-risk-higher-reward options and lower-risk-lower-reward options, were 35 percent more likely to take the bigger gamble. This was despite the fact that a lower risk option provided a guaranteed, albeit smaller, reward.
The experiment also indicated that both humans and pigeons were equally impacted by their previous, and most recent, gambling experiences. In other words, if they won big, they most likely would continue to gamble at the higher threshold.
We’ll let you decide for yourself if this sounds valid.
“Both humans and pigeons were shown to be less risk averse for high rewards than they were for low rewards and this is linked to our past memories and experiences of making risky decisions,” said Dr. Elliot Ludvig, a psychologist at Warwick and lead author of the new study—published this week in the peer-reviewed journal Biology Letters.
“When people gamble, they often rely on past experiences with risk and rewards to make decisions,” Ludvig explained. “What we found in this study is that both pigeons used these past experiences in very similar ways to guide their future gambling decisions. Any big wins we’ve had in the past are memorable and stand-out when we are making our decision to gamble again.”

Could this be used as a way to scientifically explain why, for example, after hitting a couple of flush draws in a row, another draw seems more tempting to chase, even if the math isn’t quite right? Or, could this help shed light on why it’s very tough for many serious poker grinders to move down in stakes when experiencing a downswing?
He added that “birds are distantly related to humans, yet we still share the same basic psychology that drives risk-taking.” In other words, “similar evolutionary pressures.”

This isn’t the first time pigeons have been linked to the world of gambling. Last month, PETA accused an Oklahoma firm of supplying pigeons to a Taiwanese gambling syndicate for use in what PETA says is the cruel sport of illegal bird racing.
