Help & FAQ

Everything about playing, your account and your membership. Still stuck? Get in touch.

Playing the games

How do I control the games?
Most games use tilt with a touch fallback — tilt your phone, or drag / tap the screen if your device does not report motion. Every game lists its exact controls in the How to Play panel.
My phone is not tilting the ball
iPhones ask permission for motion. Tap the game once and accept the motion prompt. If you refuse, touch controls take over automatically.
Can I turn the sound off?
Yes — tap Sound on / Sound off under any game. Your choice is remembered on that device for every game.

Getting started

Do I need to download or install anything?
No downloads at all. Every game runs inside the website, so it works the same on a phone, tablet or computer.
Do I need an account?
Yes — register a free Player Card and sign in to play. It also saves your scores, achievements and leaderboard places.

Scores, cards & the Club

Why is my score not on the leaderboard?
Scores only count when you are signed in. Create a free Player Card and every run is saved automatically.
How do the Daily Challenge and Weekly Tournament work?
The Daily Challenge is a new game and target every day at UK midnight. The Weekly Tournament runs Monday to Sunday on one game, with the standings frozen when the week ends.
Can I hide my Player Card?
Yes — turn off Public Profile in My Arcade and your card is only visible to you.
