Recommendations for Fun Offline iPad Games to Pass Time During Long Flights

I’ll be traveling to Southeast Asia in a month and bringing my iPad along. I usually avoid taking it on trips, but I’m convinced to bring it this time to watch my favorite show with a new season releasing.

I’m looking to kill some time on the flight with a couple of games. Bonus points for games that are calming and involve wordplay or strategy.

Love Kingdom Rush! Great suggestion.

I played Bejeweled on the airplane entertainment system for hours. My neighbor saw me playing it and then started too, and soon, it spread like a curse! LOL. I’d probably play some kind of Vampire Survivors games, as time flies while playing those.

@Lyle
Did it spread across or down too? Did you get more than three people in a row?

Balatro. But be warned - you might end up playing it for the whole trip instead of sightseeing.

I second Balatro!

My whole family is addicted. Excellent offline option.

Bloons TD 6

Polytopia. It’s easy to lose track of time playing it; it can make an hour disappear!

Shattered Pixel Dungeon.

I’d recommend The Room series. It’s a strategy puzzle game with an immersive atmosphere. It’ll make the hours fly by, and it’s all offline!

What do you do in the game?

Slay the Spire is a great time killer.

I got this for my last long flight, expecting to only play it during flights, but I ended up logging 60 hours after returning home. Really great game.

Flying tomorrow and happy to see there’s an Android version.

You avoid taking your iPad with you normally? It’s perfect for downloading shows to watch on the plane!
