I like the idea of a quiet game on mobile devices, but please leave the electronic devices at home; do not bring them to church. I feel that people are becoming addicted to these electronic marvels and it does not help that parents are encouraging this addiction at a young age. I see too many parent come to church, plop down and hand their kids a Smart phone or tablet before meeting even begins.
I understand that young children need a quiet activity (my wife and I had six children), but what is wrong with paper and pencil or The Friend magazine?
Unfortunately, I see too many parents glued to their electronic devices during sacrament meeting, oblivious to the unrest of their children. I feel that when parents use these devices during church meetings, they are setting an inappropriate example for their children.
I am not against electronic devices as I feel that they can be used appropriately to read scriptures or sing a hymn.
