Millie Bobby Brown explained how Travel Town works, describing it as a game where you tap the lightning icon to generate items, then merge two pebbles to create a larger group. As you keep matching, the items grow bigger and more impressive—but do not worry, not as big as Stranger Things monsters! The challenge is to keep merging and clearing your board, making progress with every move. While she has always enjoyed gaming in her downtime, Travel Town is now her latest obsession—quite a shift from what she revealed last time.
One thing is certain—Millie Bobby Brown loves spending her free time playing games! However, her previously revealed favorites now seem to have taken a backseat as she upgrades to a new obsession.
From screen to screen: Millie Bobby Brown’s favorite games
In an interview with Wired, Millie Bobby Brown revealed that her favorite way to unwind is by playing The Sims 4 and Fortnite—Surprisingly, it is not clapping back at critics for her looks. She enjoyed designing homes and even had a Sims character who was a vet. In Fortnite, she used to hide in bushes until most opponents were eliminated, and then she used to hand the controller to someone else for the win. Despite her Sims obsession, she did not see herself as a gamer, finding most video games frustrating.
