Questions people ask
Do these work in airplane mode?
Every listing here promises offline play in its own words. A game that needs a login or a server check at launch does not qualify, however good it is.
Do free offline games still show ads?
Some cache ads while you are online. Cross-reference the no-forced-ads list — games on both are the safest bet for a long flight.
