New games play themselves as a quick demo. Instant switching โ every game loads silently in the background, so switching is immediate, with no loading screens. Progress saves automatically. Shared rewards โ coins, gems and energy items work across every game. Earn them anywhere, spend them in the shared shop on gear for the whole collection. Both orientations โ the app works in landscape and in portrait. Card games run in landscape and board games in portrait: entering one turns the screen to what it needs, and leaving turns it back. Inside a game the orientation is locked, so an accidental rotation never interrupts play. ใPrivacyใ No account required, no sign-up. We don't ask for or collect your personal information.
