Frequently asked questions
Everything people ask before and after their first trip.
What is Passport Run?
Passport Run is a memory game set on a trip around the world. Each country is a path of stone rows with one safe stone per row. The safe stones are shown for three seconds, then you jump across from memory. Reach the far side and you stamp your passport and travel on to the next country.
How many countries are there?
250 countries and territories are free to play. Two optional packs add more: Special Expeditions (16 famous landmarks plus 8 fantasy worlds such as the Moon and Mars) and Cinema Worlds (8 original movie-inspired places), for 282 destinations in all.
What happens when I fall?
You retry the same country on the same path, keeping the countries you've already stamped. Continue on the main menu always picks up at the first country you haven't cleared.
What are the difficulty levels?
Easy has 3 lanes and 10 rows, Moderate 4 lanes and 14 rows, and Hard 5 lanes and 20 rows. Every level shows the path for three seconds and gives you ten seconds per row.
Does Passport Run need an internet connection?
No. Every mode plays offline. A connection is only used to show ads and to make purchases through the App Store.
Are there ads?
Yes, but never during play. A small banner sits at the bottom of the menu screens, and a full-screen ad plays on the results screen after every fourth failed attempt. Ads are non-personalized, and the game never asks to track you. Kids Mode gameplay never shows ads, and the one-time Remove Ads purchase turns all of them off.
Is Passport Run good for kids?
Kids Mode has shorter paths, a friendly robot traveler and country facts, has no sharing buttons and never shows ads. Purchases and sharing elsewhere in the game sit behind a quick question meant for grown-ups.
What is the Balloon Tour?
A separate arcade game included with Passport Run. You move along the ground and fire upward to split balloons, with three rounds per destination ending in a boss. It has mystery drops, weapon upgrades, a daily challenge and two-player co-op on one screen.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Send a challenge link so a friend plays your exact path and races your ghost, take turns on one phone with up to four player profiles, or play Balloon Tour co-op side by side.
What do purchases unlock?
Each one-time purchase unlocks only its own content: Special Expeditions, Cinema Worlds, the Traveler Pack (extra animal, astronaut and fantasy travelers) or Remove Ads. The 250 real-world countries are always free.
How do I keep my progress on a new phone?
Progress lives on your device. Use New journeys & workshop, then Offline passport backup, to create a backup and restore it on the new phone. Purchases come back with Restore purchase.
Is my data private?
The game itself collects no personal data and your progress stays on your device. Google AdMob receives basic device information to show non-personalized ads. Full details are in the Privacy Policy.
