Two misleading ads for mobile games that bear little relation to the actual product have been banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).
The ads, for the Homescapes and Gardenscapes games, both come from developer Playrix.
They showed a game where users pull pins in a specific order to solve a puzzle - though the actual games had totally different "core gameplay".
The ASA said the ads should not be used again.
