It’s second hour, I’ve just strolled into my AP U.S. History class. Opening my composition notebook, I begin to copy down the bell work as my friends join me at our table in the back of the room.

How about a round of Beer Pong today? To play the cult drinking game you must flip the ping-pong ball across the long table into a beer cup. Fail and take a shot of alcohol. Duke Athletics made history this week, becoming the first collegiate program to recognize GamePigeon's Cup Pong as an official varsity sport. The decision will cost the University $5 million in. GamePigeon is a cool app that allows you to enjoy a collection of excellent two-player games on iMessage with your friends and family. It contains games such as 8-Ball, Poker, Gomoku, Sea Battle, and Anagrams. If you can’t download GamePigeon for some reason or you have downloaded it and it just doesn’t work, I will help you fix the problem in this article.

After trying to keep my eyes open as we learn about the Thirteen Colonies for the third day in a row, my phone begins to vibrate against the table and I can’t help but restrain a laugh as the routinely texts roll in.

“You know the drill.”

Forget the colonies, I’ve got games to win. Game Pigeon — the iMessage extension that includes every two or multiplayer game I could imagine — is where I find myself yet again. Now Subway Surfers and Cooking Fever are ancient residents of my home screen.

Bored? Send a Cup Pong to a friend. Looking for a conversation starter? 8-Ball. In the middle of a meaningless argument? Crazy 8’s will solve it.

Now let’s break the games down.

No doubt about it, Crazy 8’s remains superior. It allows for two to four players at a time and it’s fast paced when everyone is playing. With the “draw four” and “skip” cards lurking in the player’s hands, this game will show someone who their true friends are. This one is so good, we hide our phones under the table and prop it up behind our lunch boxes to play during class.

Cup Pong

Next up is Cup Pong — similar to the way it’s played in person, it doesn’t stay interesting for long. The only reason people send this game back and forth is for the sole purpose of wanting to beat their friends.

8-Ball
