Questions and answers
Short answers for parents, schools and anyone new.
Getting started
What is Playtime613?
Playtime613 is a set of fun games for Jewish children aged 5–15, with a Yiddishe taam. No ads, no chat.
What's free, and what do members get?
Free, with no sign-up: six games in full, and the first levels of the other online games. With the family plan you get every level of every game, the 7 Members games, parental controls and a profile for each child.
Do I need an account for the free games?
No. The free games, and the first levels of the others, play straight away.
What's the difference between Play online and the Windows app?
Same games. Play online runs in the browser, so there's nothing to install, but it needs the internet. The Windows app goes onto your PC (Windows 10 and 11), plays with or without internet.
Can I use it on my iPad, Mac, phone or Chromebook?
Yes, with Play online in the browser. The iPhone and iPad app is on the App Store too.
What ages is it for?
Ages 5–15. Each game shows the age it's for, and you choose which games each child sees.
Price and plan
How much does it cost?
£39 a year for the whole family, with 25% off your first year until 10 November 2026. There's no monthly plan.
Does it renew?
Yes, every year, until you cancel.
How do I cancel?
Any time, from the link in your receipt email (the Stripe customer portal), or email [email protected]. Nothing more is taken, and the games keep working until the end of the year you paid for.
Can I pay monthly?
No, there's only the yearly plan.
Can I try before I pay?
Yes. Six games are free in full, and you can play the first levels of the others.
What happens when my year ends?
If it doesn't renew, the full games lock at the end of your paid year (the Windows app knows the date, even without internet). The free games stay free and each child's saves are kept. Renew any time and carry on where you left off.
Signing in
How do I sign in?
With the email you paid with. We email you a 6-digit code (it lasts 10 minutes). No password. Can't see it? Look in your spam folder.
Can both parents sign in?
Yes, with the same family email. Children don't need an account or an email.
I already have a licence key. What happens to it?
Nothing changes for you. Your key keeps working. When you sign in with your email, the key moves into your family account and your paid time comes with it.
I didn't get the code. What now?
Check your spam or junk folder. A code works for 10 minutes; tap “Resend code” for a fresh one.
Do I have to sign in every time?
No. Tick “Remember this device” and you stay signed in on that device.
How many devices can we sign in on?
As many as you need, but one plays at a time. You can see and remove devices in the Parent dashboard.
Devices
Where can we play?
In the browser (Play online) on a Mac, iPad, phone or PC, with internet. In the Playtime613 app for Windows 10 and 11, with or without internet. New: the Android app on Google Play for Android phones and tablets. The iPhone and iPad app is on the App Store and plays without internet too.
Does it work offline?
The Windows app does. It needs the internet once to sign in, then plays without it and checks in once a year. Play online needs the internet.
Can we play on two devices at once?
No, one device at a time per family. If a game is open somewhere else, you'll be asked to close it there first.
Can two children play at once?
Not on two devices at the same time. On one device, each child picks their own profile and takes a turn.
Does progress move between devices?
Not yet. Progress is saved on each device.
Parents
What parent controls are there?
Behind a grown-up PIN: a daily timer for each child (10 minutes to unlimited), block bedtime or school hours, choose which games each child sees, and a 5-minute warning before time's up. Set them on the website or in the Windows app.
Is it safe for children?
Yes. There are no ads, no chat, no social features and nothing pushing children to buy.
Can it lock on Shabbos and Yom Tov?
Only if you want it to. You can set the Windows app to lock on Shabbos and Yom Tov.
How do I set time limits?
On the website: sign in, tap Parents, type your PIN, and set a daily time for each child. In the Windows app: open Parent controls and type your PIN. It's the same settings in both.
I forgot the parent PIN.
Tap “Forgot PIN?”. We email a code to the family email, and you choose a new PIN.
How do I remove an old device?
In the Parent dashboard, under Devices, tap Remove next to it (you'll need the parent PIN).
Schools and shuls
Can a school or shul use Playtime613?
Yes. We also make custom games for schools, shuls and businesses. Email [email protected].
