If you want to play on your mobile phone, it is often difficult. Many games are riddled with ads, cry out for in-app purchases, or cost money. That’s not really fun. However, owners of an iPhone can count themselves lucky, because a game is hidden in the cult smartphone. It’s free and doesn’t even require an internet connection.

Apple

From Angry Birds to Zenonia: There is an almost unmanageable number of games in Apple’s App Store. In addition to real pearls, there is also a lot of rubbish that iPhone owners are supposed to use to make money – either through annoying advertising or outrageously expensive in-app purchases. On the other hand, there is a game that does not use such questionable methods at all can be found on almost every iPhone.

This can be accessed via the Google app, which is available for free in the App Store. The search engine provider has hidden a real retro game there: pinball. It can be started in just a few steps:

  • Open Google app
  • Go to the “Tabs” tab
  • Wait a few seconds for colorful shapes to appear at the bottom of the screen
  • Swipe up colorful shapes

if you follow this guide, the classic pinball levers appear afterwards and you can start playing right away. Important to know: The whole thing works if the “Tabs” tab is also empty. Otherwise, the colorful shapes will not appear. If you have a few open tabs and still want to play the game, you have to close them first.

The pinball game is completely free and in our test it even worked with Airplane mode turned on, so you don’t even need an internet connection. Only the latest version of the Google app has to be installed on your iPhone.
