Packing your phone for a long flight: the offline shortlist

A long flight is the ultimate offline stress test. Here's the mix I load up before I leave for the airport.

I always bring one RPG for the long haul, something like Emberfall Saga where hours disappear into a story. Then a strategy game for when I want to think, and a puzzle app for the calm stretches.

For the restless moments between, a quick collection like Casinacho Games or a short arcade racer does the job. You want variety so no single game wears out its welcome.

Charge your phone, download everything at home, and double-check airplane mode doesn't break anything. Do that and the flight flies by.
