How do two people play on one phone?

Each player has their own pad on their half of the screen. Sit side by side (or face to face for some games) and play at the same time. The first time you play a game, its rules are shown; you can see them again from the pause button.

How do I add my own toys and things?

Tap My Stuff on the home screen (or Settings → My Stuff), then take a photo or choose one. Put one thing on a plain background in good light. The phone cuts it out and it becomes a game piece. You can name it, say whose it is, and put it in groups.

How do I make a thing turn round?

In My Stuff, choose Spin Photos and take about 8 photos walking round it. On iPhones with LiDAR (Pro models), 3D Scan guides you round it and builds a 3D model; this takes a few minutes and stays on the phone.

Why can't I see Magic, Describe It or the AI stories?

These use Apple Intelligence, which needs a recent iPhone (iPhone 15 Pro or later) with Apple Intelligence turned on in Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri. On other phones these choices don't appear, and Story Time uses its own storybook.

How do I play on two phones?

Choose two players, tap Two phones on the home screen, and let the other phone join (with Beanbag Arcade open on both). The phones talk directly to each other, so keep them near each other. Allow "Local Network" if your iPhone asks.

Where are my photos kept?

Only on your phone. Beanbag Arcade never uploads them. They only leave your phone if you choose to send things to another phone.

How do I turn off the anonymous play counts?

Settings → turn off Share Play Counts. See the privacy policy for what's counted.
