Recent Updates & Development
Latest Update: 3rd December 2025
Recent improvements include:
Bundle up—this update brings snow, mystery, and a story that’s as heartwarming as it is haunting. In Winter Thief, Detective Allison Grey returns to investigate a Nordic village where children vanish with each year’s first snow. What she uncovers is not a monster to slay, but a curse to break—and maybe even a friend to make.
Plus, we’ve got seven piping hot limited-time events to keep your deck warm through the end of the year.
FEATURED STORY: WINTER THIEF
When the first snow falls, the village of Nordhavn hides behind boarded doors—because something comes with the cold. Detective Allison Grey returns in a chilling winter tale of curses, compassion, and a creature with a secret. This holiday season, the real gift…is waking up.
NEW EVENTS:
UNDERGROUND ALL STAR CHALLENGE – Break out the brass knuckles and take on the baddest of the bad in this gritty, prize-packed showdown.
DECORATING COOKIES – Sprinkle some sweetness on your deck and collect festive rewards in this feel-good event.
BUILD A SNOWMAN – Roll, stack, and accessorize your way to chilly fun and a new card back!
SMORES – Toast marshmallows and your competition in this cozy, fireside-themed event.
BIRD WATCHERS – Grab your binoculars and relax into this nature-inspired event full of feathery fun.
SNOWY EVENING – The snow is falling, the lights are glowing, and the rewards are just a few shuffles away.
ROCK CLIMBING – Reach new heights and collect prizes in this high-altitude, high-energy event.
Whether you’re unraveling a winter mystery or roasting marshmallows in your mittens, 6.8 has all the chill—and all the charm. Let’s play!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
So far this has been the best Solitaire app game Ive come across that matched our want for some story and gameplay that had some variance and challenge to it. We do wish there was a more cohesive rewards points system for using them such as multiple machine turns instead of one at a time and things to purchase without random chance. The deck builder is rather clunky to navigate. We would love if there was more of an RPG element in here somehow, but even without that, its still wonderful. Theres enough difficulty levels that we stay entertained and challenged, so Im constantly playing games here and there when able.
This is a wonderful game. It is easy to play and so much fun.
Stories and decks are amazing! The new events are addicting.
Fun, creative twist on the classic game.
Every time we open the app and it asks us if we want to continue where we left off, we click yes and then the screen just goes black. After that we have to force close the app.
What a bummer, ive really been loving this game but this is a dealbreaker. It is so hard to find a solitaire game that is visually nice and as customizable as this one. We were suspicious for some time that the card and background designs used ai. In one of the more recent events, the designs being stolen through the use of ai became very clear. Its really a shame, as this would be a fantastic opportunity for artists and illustrators and make the experience actually unique and interesting, instead of regurgitated ai slop.
We love the stories on this app. We only play spider as we cant figure out the other two choices but we dont mind. We play this game over the other choices.
Love the story boARD SPIDER GAMES.
We have enjoyed this game so much, but the honest truth is this game has helped us weather through some complex health challenges by allowing us not to feel pain, lose time, so Im not locked in bed Im better now, and when we need to pace ourselves to relax, Im back playing this particular game. We like the layout, the color, and the choices to stay with one deck and to play gradually more difficult games Im sure Ive played every game many times, so we hope they keep making stories Thanks to the creators, JMB.
We love the different decks and stories but it keeps starting us over in stories even though Ive made progress.
Doesnt always show our progress through the story. We also hope you keep releasing new stories and new decks.
We play across TV and phone and the app doesnt keep the game history synchronized. We have list many games and have given up playing any story or weekly game since our progress is lost and Im forced to replay from the beginning. However the artwork on the card decks is very nice.
Game is okay. Its solitaire. The early stories are semi-creative and fun. But after you get through the first batch, theyre tedious and grating. The visual design is beautiful and creative. Unfortunately, this does not translate into playability. Early on we had to change to a generic deck and theme because we could not differentiate between the cards – suits, numbers, anything – and was relying on the game to make the right auto-moves. Finally, the achievements stopped working and Im not sure when or why. If you want to play solitaire, this game works. If youre interested in the stories or achievement progression, Im sure there are better games out there.
Solid solitaire app with seemingly endless levels with varied and challenging difficulties. Smooth animation and excellent graphics sets it apart from many others. Id like to see some more grittier/darker decks (e.g. Sci-fi & horror), but the biggest request we have is a colorblind mode. Some decks we just cant play as intended because we cant easily differentiate the colors. So we end up just using our own deck Ive made. (S.A.we.N.T. Nick is a prime example of color issues we have where its difficult to tell them apart and it takes a lot longer to play by alternating suits) A toggle in settings to allow a person to adjust colors for some decks would be a great help.
The last update has had an odd effect. After each hand it goes dark. It has to be turned off and on to play the next hand. Please fix or its going to take forever to play through a story.
This game is the longest Ive ever stuck with a game app. Cant remember exactly when we started but way over a year and we still play every day. We love the artwork and different cards and backgrounds especially grateful there are so many to choose from because we have poor eyesight and need good contrast in colors and shapes to see them well. Ive been playing long enough to have completed all the stories more than once but we keep coming back because of the regular special events. The developers have always seemed really responsive so we hope they will see that Im having trouble with the current event Doodles as every time we finish a hand, the screen goes black and we cant select the next level. We have to completely shut down the app and restart it to get to the next game. Love the game though.
Its solitaire! But this team put a lot of care into the design to make it a fun and modern experience. Exactly what we were hoping for, with no dumb monetization gimmicks.
Just play it and you wont regret.
Needed something like this for plane rides and the such but we play it all the time now, got us addicted.
The stories are so cute what the we love all the art styles and the music! Plus the Ben Schwartz story is so cool.
Positives: we love the vibrancy and colorful designs of this game! While Im personally not interested in the story format, we appreciate the effort the developers and game artists put into making solitaire and adjacent games more engaging. Others make find the narratives more appealing than we do. We also like how you can switch between game modes (Im always playing spider solitaire). Negatives: While we love falling asleep playing solitaire, this app drains your battery faster than others. Some of the graphics are hard to read, and while pretty, probably hinder accessibility. The app also occasionally glitches, particularly when trying to load the Daily Challenge (Ill click the button but nothing will happen). Ive also gotten kicked out of the app a few times. But nothing that would make us stop using the app. Recently (as in the past few days), every time we win a game of spider solitaire, the app gets stuck on a black screen, and we end up having to close it and go back in. (we still get Game Center notifications and see the time and battery life of our phone so its definitely an in game bug.) Im hoping that this gets fixed in the next update, because we cant play as long as Id like to before getting frustrated. Otherwise, we would genuinely recommend this app over other solitaire games.
Very enjoyable, but need more stories. We havent had a new one in a while and Ive got all 4 bookmarks for all of them.
We enjoy this game (especially the special events/challenges) but ever since last update, the screen goes black and the app crashes after we finish a level. Frustrating and havent been playing it as much since.
Love this game and the UI but our game keeps crashing (screen going black) every time we complete a level.
Im getting a black screen after each level we play on the weekly games. We dont know what the issue is, but it would really be great if yall could fix it.
After every game it just goes to a black screen and we have to quit the app and reopen to play the next level. Please fix this.
Very fun, lots of added fun snd nice graphics snd sounds.
We have had so many issues with this game. We enjoy playing it, but it has been a struggle to keep playing. From time going faster than a second, to trying to collect ribbons on repeat games. Hope this catches someones eye to fix all of these problems. There have been many more, just cant remember them all. And dont have time to write it all out.
It is solitaire, but with some shiny bits that catch the eye. The stories are nice even funny sometimes. Overall we rate it five for being the best of solitaire games out there.
We absolutely love this game. We love all the daily games, all the different card decks, and the scoring. Im kinda addicted.
We cant seem to access the daily challenges or multiplayer is there something we can do to access these features? Are they still available.
Best different kinds of Solitaire & games Ive ever played.Awesome.
We play this game daily. However after the updates, the game freezes and the phone doesnt respond to touches after completing an event in the game. Needs to be fixed. Otherwise, its a solid game.
We can not get the screen to resize, so we have to shut down our computer every time. We just deleted it. No time for all that.
But sadly, it crashes constantly on our 6th generation iPad 17.7.6 even after all the usual tricks. We dont enjoy the game as much on a smaller device such as our iphone.
Its a good app, but out of no where it deleted all of our progress on all of our devices, so thats a bit frustrating. And it may just be because our phone is old but every time we try and play the app it just gets frozen and our phone over heats.
We used to really like to play, but after re-downloading, there are only seven stories. There are only seven stories in unlocked and unlocked. We're very distressed.
Game is simple and fun, honestly addicting, but finding ourselves frustrated with having to close and restart it every time we win a game because it completely freezes.
We were looking forward to this game but every single time we attempt to play it ceashea definitely a dissapointment for a game we play membership monthly would nit recommend it to anyone.
Im enjoying this game – well done.
Out of all the solitaire games Ive played this is our favorite! The art and music is so fun and we enjoy reading through the stories as we play. Beautiful app and more interesting than your run of the mill Solitaire app.
Im a vibes gal, and THIS is a vibe. The new layout makes it way easier to find our fav stories and listen to those sweet music tracks.
We like the added stories andMusic. Keep up the good work.
We love this game but Im having trouble with the daily game freezing during the final animation. We then have to quit the app and redo the daily.
We recently tried this app out after watching our partner play – hes been playing for ~2 months. We like the story element a lot and want to unlock to play more. We noticed that he has at least 20 stories unlocked – he still needs to pay coins to play them. But for us, after beating the initial set of stories, theres only 1 story unlocked. We emailed the developers and they said this is normal??? We hate that Im being pigeonholed into 1 story at a time and cant pick which one we want to explore In addition to that, we like achievement hunting and none of the stories mentioned in the achievements are available for us to play.
Great stories and loads of fun to play if you love Solitaire games.
After playing one game, version 5.7 now gets stuck witth no way to move on to the next game. Works great on iOS and iOSTV. This problem only happens on MacOS. Suggestion to turn off the WiFi setting. Is a satisfactory work around.
Our stories are glitched and keep restarting which is very upsetting. We have a lot of fun playing tho.
We really do love this game but since the update wont load it crashes the game please fix its our go to game to relax we cant relax if we cant play just saying please fix us.
Why did you remove Walk in the Fall Park? It is not even end till December 7th and we were nearly to finish it. Im disappointed it.
