Offline games for LIRR and Metro-North
Rides on LIRR and Metro-North can run from half an hour to well over an hour. Train Wi-Fi and cell service are not always dependable on long stretches, so a puzzle game that needs no connection is a reliable way to pass the time.
Crystal Stack has you drag crystal stacks onto a hexagonal board and merge them; it never spends lives. Orbly Match suits shorter stretches. Both play offline after install.
Tips
- Pick a calm mode such as Crystal Stack or Word Connect for the long haul.
- Download the app on station Wi-Fi before boarding.
- On the way home, Orbly Match levels are easy to play in short bursts.
