About

Pocket Playbook started as a group chat where a few of us swapped screenshots and complained about clunky tutorials. At some point we decided to turn that into a proper site, because most mobile guides online read like they were written by someone who never opened the game.

The rules are simple. Somebody on the team plays a game long enough to have a real opinion, then writes it up. If a game bores us after twenty minutes, we say so. If it surprises us, we say that too.

We pick titles from all over the map: racing, RPGs, strategy, casual stuff you play on the bus. Recently we spent a weekend with Big Bass Fishin and ended up arguing about the best casting rhythm for two days.

No two writers here agree on much, which we think keeps the coverage honest. We're a small crew, we answer emails ourselves, and we'd rather be useful than polished.
