Have you ever wondered which is the most expensive game on iTunes? Whether you’re waiting at the dentist’s, riding the subway, or just blowing off some steam, game apps are great for many occasions. We all enjoy playing games on our mobile phones and tablets, but many of them are just casual experiences for a little bit of fun during downtime; not exactly something we’d pay big bucks for the right to play.
Nonetheless, there are some extreme examples of iOS game apps that are sold for massive prices. Just how much are people willing to spend on this kind of entertainment? As you might know, the maximum price an app can be sold for on iTunes is $999.99. But would anyone actually pay that for a game? have any developers even tried selling their games for such a price? Our list with the most expensive game on iTunes has the answer.

8. QuizCenter
$199.99 is the price to pay for this game that promises over 80 individual quizzes on pop culture, including music, TV shows, and movies. QuizCenter is basically an enormous collection of quizzes contained in one simple game app. Among some of the many topics covered by this expensive game are TV series like Glee, box office hits like The Hunger Games, cult movies like The Big Lebowski, music questions on awesome bands like the White Stripes, and much more.
7. Buddy Repperton’s Gold
When this game was originally released on iTunes you had to pay $299. Luckily for Buddy Repperton’s fans it is on sale at the moment and you can get it for only $199.99. Buddy Repperton’s Gold is technically listed in the ‘Games’ category, but in fact it contains the premium selections of the sports handicapper, with picks for football, basketball, baseball, and more. The actual game part is the quiz the app offers to the users to pass the time while waiting for their games to start, hopefully with their desired and wagered outcome.
6. Clownbop
At $219.99 and compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, Clownbop is a simple game of punch or whack the clown. You get the opportunity to choose from different opponents and combat until one of you gets knocked out. Since its last update is from 2010, our guess is that not many people bought nor are planning to get this game. Nevertheless, it still is one of the most expensive games ever released for Apple devices.
5. Boffo Fun Time Game Pax 1
Boffo Fun Time Game Pax 1 is a game pack that costs $219.99. Basically you have a number of pastimes in a single app, including a game in which you can whack politicians, a set of interactive screen toys called Snow Globe, a memory game, and Beez and Bubbles, where you have to defend your homeland from various insects using lasers and muffin guns.
4. Boffo Fun Time Game Pax 2
At $299.99, Boffo Fun Time Game Pax 2 is the more complete and more expensive version of Boffo Fun Time Game Pax 1. Once again a bundle of activities compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch, this game app includes a pachinko machine, the above mentioned Clownbop, Beez and Bubbles, and more.
3. Barcelona vs Madrid
The classic rivalry between the two renowned Spanish soccer teams is available for purchase on iTunes at $299.99. This app is compatible with most Apple devices and claims to be extremely easy to play, while having awesome graphics and providing a realistic simulation.
2. Perfect Penalty 2012
At $299.99 Perfect Penalty 2012 is definitely one of the most expensive games on iTunes. But however great the description of this app sounds (it claims to have realistic graphics, simulation and atmosphere as well as being uncomplicated), the customer reviews about it are less than flattering.
1. BallAHolic HD
With a price tag of $349.99 (nope, we don’t have a $999.99 game on iTunes, at least yet), BallAHolic HD is the most expensive game on the Apple app store. Apparently only compatible with iPad, this game offers 3D graphics, 2 arcade modes, 3 different game control setups and different levels and genres combined into one (expensive) game.
