FAQ

Yes, it's free to download and try. The Prologue and Chapter 1 are completely free. To keep going past Chapter 1, you unlock the rest of the story with a one-time in-app purchase of $1.99.

It opens every chapter after Chapter 1, so you can play the story all the way through to the long walk home. It's one purchase, not one per chapter.

No ads and no subscriptions. The one in-app purchase is the $1.99 unlock, and that's the only thing you'll ever be asked to buy.

No. Your purchase belongs to your Apple ID. Sign in with the same Apple ID on your new device and use Restore Purchases in the game to get your unlock back.

Purchases are handled by Apple, so refunds are too. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com and request one there.

Pull back inside the throw circle, then flip forward. A gentle flip is a toss, and a harder flip is a drive. Vovo teaches it to you in the Prologue, and each match has a few tips along the way.

Tap the ? (HELP) button any time. It pauses the game and replays that scene's how-to-play tips.

Don't sweat it. The game goes easier on you the more you retry a scene, with wider timing windows, slower enemies and shorter retry intros. Rematches never get harder.

Courage is Jack's emotional meter. Hesitation and embarrassment drain it, and brave moments fill it. In action scenes, hearts are what keep him in the game.

Yes. Quick Play lets you play one cornhole match on its own, either two players passing the device or one player against characters from the story. Opponents open up as you beat them in the story. There's also a chapter select so you can replay any game you've already reached.

Partially. Meriden, Connecticut, the summer of 1988, and a lot of bean bags are real. We're not telling you which parts.

iPhone and iPad running iOS 17 or later, and Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later. The game plays in landscape on iPhone and iPad and in a window you can resize on Mac.

With the keyboard. Arrow keys or WASD move Jack, and a key legend on screen shows what every key does in each scene. Esc pauses, H brings up help, and 1 to 9 pick special bags in a duel. To throw, flick one finger on the trackpad, or click and drag. The iPhone controller is only for iPad, so it's turned off on Mac.

No. It's one purchase for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Sign in with the same Apple ID and tap Restore Purchases in the game. Saved progress stays on each device, though.

No. Cornhole Kings plays fully offline. The only time it needs a connection is to buy or restore the unlock through the App Store.

Yes, automatically, on your device. There's no cloud sync, so if you delete the game, your saved progress goes with it. Your purchase is safe, though, because Apple keeps track of it for you.

Yes. Open the game on both devices, then on the iPhone go to Options and tap Use as iPad Controller. The two devices find each other over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with no pairing codes, and the iPhone becomes a gamepad with a D-pad, A and B buttons, and HELP and PAUSE. iOS may ask for Local Network permission the first time. The game only uses it to talk between your own devices, and nothing is sent over the internet.

Nothing. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Read the full Privacy Policy.

We'd love to hear it. Email support@cornholekings.example and tell us which device and iOS or macOS version you're on and what happened.
