Quick Summary

Netflix subscribers can now exclusively download and play Monument Valley 3 on their phones or tablets.

The eagerly-anticipated sequel is available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

If you have an Android device, iPhone or iPad, Netflix has a treat for you. It has added one of the biggest mobile game releases of the year to its service, to download for free.

Monument Valley 3 is exclusive to Netflix Games and is the sequel to two of the most popular mobile puzzle-adventure titles of all time.

Developed by Ustwo Games, the third in the series sees a return to the perspective-bending puzzle mechanics of its predecessors, along with the calm ambience for which the series is renowned.

You have to again slide parts of the environment into different places to allow your character to progress. Every level is like a beautiful MC Escher painting, while the story is told largely without words.
