Seated games on an iPhone that doesn't fold

Draw & Guess, Word Spy and The Dial need an iPhone Duo. The other eight games play on any iPhone or iPad.

Why they need an iPhone Duo

Draw & Guess, Word Spy and The Dial need an iPhone Duo, because one player’s secret is shown only on the raised half. A screen that doesn’t fold can’t show one player something and hide it from the other.

On any other iPhone, and on iPad, these three don’t appear on the shelf. Move to an iPhone Duo later and you keep every game you have and gain the three.

What plays on any iPhone or iPad

The eight flat games: Air Hockey, Reaction Duel, Dots & Boxes, Reversi, Backgammon, Checkers, Mancala and Pairs.

Before a flat game, Halves asks you to lay the device flat between you. Tap “It’s flat” and play. On iPhone Duo there’s no prompt: the phone knows when it’s lying flat.
