What to play on a trip without internet

On a train, plane or short break, one clear puzzle can be more useful than searching for a signal. Pick a game for the time you have, not a task you must finish today.

For a quick break: 2048

Swipe to combine matching numbers. Keep some free cells for the next move. It is an easy way to get started without learning a long list of rules.

For a quieter journey: Sudoku or the 15 puzzle

In Sudoku, eliminate impossible numbers rather than guessing. In the 15 puzzle, build the top row first and protect the parts already solved. Start at an accessible level, not the hardest one.
