Can you leave just one peg standing? Papaya Peg is a cheerful peg solitaire puzzle game for iPhone and iPad. Jump pegs or marbles over their neighbors, clear the board, and chase the satisfying one-piece finish. Free to play, works offline, and never asks you to make an account. Browse Classic Boards, Today's Challenges, Variant Boards, and Quests from a swipeable card chooser, then jump straight into the puzzle that fits your mood. Play classic peg solitaire boards, larger variants, and calendar challenges: - Triangle - a compact triangular board with quick rounds that fit nicely into short play sessions. - English - the classic cross-shaped board. Jump horizontally or vertically and try to finish with one marble in the center. - European - a wider expert-style board with more holes and a roomier challenge. - Triangle: Six-Row and Triangle: Seven-Row - larger triangle boards that unlock as you solve. - Daily Challenge - a shared board each day, with saved progress, a solve streak, and Papaya rewards for solving. - Weekly Challenge - a harder solver-verified puzzle released each week. - Quests - unlock opening challenge paths, replay cleared stages, and try for extra-satisfying one-peg finishes. New in 1.15: new to peg solitaire? Four quick lessons teach you to jump, undo a move, play the cross-shaped English board, and use a hint, each with a small gift. First Goals then give you five early targets with Papaya rewards, and playing feels calmer: one tip a day instead of a pop-up, and friendly help when a board gets stuck. Stuck on a Daily, Weekly, or Quest puzzle? Tap the lightbulb Hint button for a free check that your position can still be solved, then reveal the recommended move when you want it. Hints and undos run on Papayas, which you earn free from Daily Challenge solves, lessons, and First Goals. Ask for it and it opens. Say the word to Siri, or use Spotlight or the Action Button, and Papaya Peg jumps straight to the Daily Challenge, a classic board, a Quest, High Scores, or the Store. Your progress can follow you across devices. Papaya Peg uses your own private iCloud account to keep results, streaks, and Quest progress in sync - no new account, just the iCloud you're already signed into. Offline play still works everywhere; sync catches up once you're back online. Papaya Peg includes four quick guided lessons for new players, optional move guides and available-move highlighting, a daily tip, undo and redo, an in-game Pause, local high scores, saved progress, optional notifications for new Daily and Weekly boards, sound effects, and haptic feedback. Game Center is optional. Enable it to share eligible scores and earned achievements, including progress earned offline. Daily and Weekly leaderboards celebrate the solves you work out yourself. Prefer to play without ads? One purchase removes them permanently and makes hints and undos unlimited, and it works with Family Sharing. If you'd simply like to say thanks, optional supporter trophies go on display in your High Scores and your Player Profile - and drift gently in the background too. Download Papaya Peg and see how close you can get to the perfect finish.
