About

Pocket Playbook started as a shared notes document between three friends who kept texting each other 'how did you beat that part?'. Eventually the document got too big, so we turned it into a site. Everything you read here comes from hands-on play, not press releases.

We focus on mobile games across every genre — RPGs, racers, strategy, puzzles, the lot. If a game is popular enough that people are searching for help, we try it and take proper notes.

Our selection is simple: we pick titles our readers ask about or games we genuinely enjoy on our commute. We don't accept payment to cover anything, and we're honest when a game didn't click for us.

The goal is to save you the twenty minutes of head-scratching we already wasted, so you can get back to the fun part.
