Beanbag Arcade: Party Games

Ten quick games for two, on one phone or iPad. Play face to face or side by side, take on the computer, or chase your own best. Your own toys can be the pieces.

Two players, one phone or iPad.

Beanbag Arcade is a pack of quick arcade games made for playing together. Put the phone or iPad on the table between you: each player has their own side of the screen, and a match takes about a minute. Then it's "one more?"

TEN GAMES • Stack Tower: build your tower higher. • Fit Through: turn your thing to fit the hole before the wall arrives. • Bag Toss: toss your beanbags into the hole. • Swing Across: grab a hook, swing, let go and fly. • Hop Along: hold, let go, and land on the next platform. • Copy Me: watch the tune, then tap it back. • Paddle Ball: don't let the ball past your paddle. • Tug of War: tap fast to pull the rope your way. • Space Dodge: fly through space and dodge the rocks. • Tower of Hanoi: move the tower, one disc at a time.

PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Face to face: lay the phone or iPad flat and take an end each. • Side by side: turn it on its side and take a half each. • Every game plays both ways. • Against the computer: Easy, Normal or Hard. • On your own, going for your best score, in every game.

YOUR OWN THINGS IN THE GAMES Photograph a toy, a shoe or a piece of fruit. It's cut out right on your device and becomes a piece in the games.

EASY TO PICK UP • One finger each, and a short line before every match that says how to play. • Add each player with a name and a photo. • Hold the X to pause, so little hands don't leave a game by accident. • Fun for the whole family, at home or out and about.

YOURS STAYS YOURS No account and no sign-in. Your photos stay on your device. The app counts which games are played, anonymously, and you can turn that off in Settings.
