# Games that work offline: for planes and road trips

> Free games that work with no internet: for a plane, a road trip or a bad connection. Open the site once online and every game keeps working.

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](https://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.
