store the input into the cell array with a loop

I try to store three input into a cell array by using loop there are some parts I messed up. It said undefined 'game', what should I change with my code?

game1= input('Enter your game :','s')
game2= input('Enter your game :','s')
game3= input('Enter your game :','s')

      n = 3;
      for i = 1:n
          i = cell{game*n}
          thegame(i);
      end
          disp(thegame)

Your loop makes no sense at all.

The simplest thing would be to store the return value of input straight into the cell array:

game{1}= input('Enter your game :','s')
game{2}= input('Enter your game :','s')
game{3}= input('Enter your game :','s')

Otherwise, you have to use build the name of the variable as a string (using sprintf for example) and then eval it to get the content of the variable:

for gamenumber = 1:3
  thegame{gamenumber} = eval(sprintf('game%d', gamenumber));
end

it said error using eval undefined game1

You use either my first three lines of code on their own, or your first three lines of code plus my for loop.

it works now , thanks
