Test your phone
Will my phone work?
A two-minute field kit check: sound, buzz, tilt, compass, location, camera and more. Then see how every game plays on your phone.

Your phone, game by game
Every game plays on any phone: when a sensor is missing or blocked, the game swaps in another way to solve that puzzle. Questions? Ask us.
Before you head out
Charge up. A long game keeps the screen on the whole way. Start with a full battery.
Sound on. On an iPhone, flick off the silent switch so you hear the voices.
Allow the asks. When a game asks for location, motion or the camera, say yes. You can change it later in your browser settings.
Use a normal tab, not private browsing, so your progress saves. Or sign in, and it follows you to any phone.
