About

PhonePlot

Features
Read full description

A journalist is missing. Her sister hands you the only thing left: a clone of her phone. PhonePlot is one of those detective games where nothing is handed to you. No hidden object scenes, no timers. Just a phone that feels real, and a truth somebody tried to delete. WHAT YOU GET TO OPEN Explore messages, photos, audio and personal records in a phone that feels lived in. Each case has its own mix of apps and records. Inspect photos and metadata, replay recordings and follow clues to password-protected records. Audio is in English and Russian, with localized transcripts in all 15 supported languages. HOW THE CASE WORKS Connect clues across apps, compare dates and follow the evidence. Give short answers, choose options, put events in order and select supporting records. Each investigation ends with an update on what happened next. STUCK IS FINE Every question carries three clues that unlock as you go, from a nudge to a straight answer. An optional video or PhonePlot+ unlocks a clue. These are mystery games, not patience tests. Start playing for free. A weekly PhonePlot+ subscription unlocks all cases, removes ads and provides unlimited hints. You can also make a one-time purchase to unlock an individual case permanently. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your Apple Account settings. No registration is required. Stories work offline; ads and purchases require an internet connection. FOR PLAYERS WHO LIKE Crime stories told through screens, cold case podcasts, mystery games and puzzle games built on deduction rather than reflexes, and long evenings spent proving somebody wrong. Ten complete cases with 163 questions. Available in English, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Bengali, Indonesian, Vietnamese and Arabic. PhonePlot is fiction. Every character, company, message and photograph in it was invented for this game.
