Airplane Games

No. All twenty games, every puzzle, the Game of the Day, the Daily Challenge, achievements and your stats work with the radio off. Sudoku puzzles are generated on your device rather than downloaded, so there's no pack to run out of.

Two things need a signal when you want them: iCloud sync, which catches up the next time you're online, and Game Center leaderboards. Neither blocks play.

No. Ads never appear during a game, never sit over a board, and don't appear at all when you're offline — there's nothing to fetch. They show on the hub and between sessions when you have a connection, and no game is ever locked behind one.

Saved boards live on the home screen under Continue. Each game keeps its own, so a paused Spider hand and a paused Chess position both wait for you. Starting a new game in the same title replaces that title's saved board — if you want to keep a position, finish it or leave it be.

Turn on Settings → iCloud Sync inside the app before you reinstall, and sign into the same Apple ID afterwards — levels, XP, streaks, achievements and best times merge back on first launch.

Without iCloud sync switched on, progress lives only on the device, and deleting the app removes it. There's no account to recover it from, by design.

Sync catches up when the app launches with a connection, not continuously. Open the app on the second device while online. Both devices need the same Apple ID, iCloud Drive on, and iCloud Sync switched on in the app itself.

Best times and high scores keep the better of the two rather than the more recent, so nothing you've earned gets overwritten by an older device.

The Daily Challenge rolls over at midnight in your device's local time zone. Flying across time zones can shift that boundary — a challenge finished on the plane may land in a different day than you expect. If a streak dropped despite finishing on time, contact us with the date and the time zones you were moving between.

Three levels, changed from the Chess settings before a game or between games. The rule set is complete either way — castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate and threefold repetition are all handled — so a draw claim is real, not a bug.

Undo is unlimited, including against the engine.

Game Center is off until you switch it on, so nothing is submitted by default. Turn it on in Settings inside the app, then check Settings → Game Center on your device to make sure you're signed in. Leaderboards need a connection; your local best times don't.

Long-press any game on the hub to pin it to the top. You can also search from your iPhone home screen — the games are indexed in Spotlight, so typing "Yahtzee" takes you straight in.

Settings has a colour-blind palette, a high-contrast mode, and full Reduce Motion support. Every square, card and tile is labelled for VoiceOver, so the whole collection is playable without sight of the screen.

Airplane Games follows your iPhone's language and supports English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese. Change it per app in Settings → Airplane Games → Language. If a translation reads oddly, tell us the exact string and the language — we'd rather fix it than leave it.

Force-quit, reopen, and check the hub — your saved board should still be waiting. If the crash repeats, contact us with your device model, iOS version, which game you were in, and what you were doing. There's no crash reporter, so your description is genuinely all we have to go on.
