Before you board
- Install first. Download Offline Games on the ground. Once it’s installed, every game plays in airplane mode.
- Pick a few favourites. Try a puzzle, a word game and a 2-player game while you wait at the gate, so you know what you like.
- Charge up. Puzzles and word games are light on the battery. Turn the screen brightness down to make it last.
On the flight
- Airplane mode is fine. Offline games need no signal at all, so leave airplane mode on.
- Sound off or headphones. Turn the sound and music off in the app’s settings and play in silence.
- Play together. Travelling with someone? The 2-player games run on one phone: no second device, no connection.
