Games that work offline

Free games for a plane, a road trip or a spotty connection. Open Sidekick Arcade once while you're online, and every game keeps working with no internet at all.

Before you go

  1. Open sidekickarcade.com on the phone, tablet or computer you're taking, while you have a connection.
  2. Wait a few seconds. The site saves every game in the browser by itself (about 1 MB, smaller than one photo).
  3. For the easiest start, add it to your home screen: in Safari tap Share, then Add to Home Screen; in Chrome, open the menu and choose Install app or Add to Home screen.
  4. That's it. In airplane mode, open the site or the home screen icon and pick a game.

What works offline

  • Every game on the site, from Snake and Solitaire to Number Merge, Crumb Kitchen and Four in a Row (two players can take turns on one phone).
  • Daily puzzles: Daily Sudoku, Crossword Snack and Five Letters.
  • Calm games: Word Search, Solitaire, Number Merge and Flash Cards.
  • Your progress: coins, bests and your character are saved on the device, so nothing is lost when the connection comes back.

A game you've played once also keeps its sounds; a game you haven't played yet still works offline, just more quietly.

Good to know

  • Nothing to download from an app store and nothing to sign up for.
  • No ads load while you're offline. No chat and no strangers.
  • Clearing your browser's data removes the saved games too. Open the site again online to bring them back.
