The ground rules

Terms of Use

These terms cover Trappy, its shared-world game, and playtrappy.com.

Last updated: 2 November 2026

Your account

Trappy creates a player account when the app first connects. You do not need to provide an email address. Keep your device and recovery code secure: anyone who can use your account credentials may be able to use your account. Your progress is saved on the device and, when connected, in a cloud save. You can restore an account with a recovery code and use it on more than one device. Some play can continue from a cached world while offline and will be submitted when the device reconnects; online features need a connection.

How the game works

Players explore caves, collect rewards, and can place traps after a clear and proof run. Other players may encounter those traps. The daily Tomb (a new one every day, at midnight UTC) gives three tries a day: the first is free, later tries cost coins. Solvers share its coin pot when the day closes, with a larger share for those who cleared in fewer tries. Rankings, seasons, Wanted posters and bounties, friend requests, dares, invites, replays and season recaps are part of the shared world. Some encounters involve computer-controlled hunters. Game rules, available caves, prices and rewards may change as Trappy develops.

Coins, gems and items

Coins, gems, cosmetics, traps and other rewards are virtual game items. They cannot be exchanged for cash or transferred outside the game. Mystery boxes are bought only with coins earned in play; coins cannot be bought. From version 1.1 you can buy gem packs for real money in the App Store or Google Play. Gems are a licence to use virtual items in the game, not money or property: their prices are shown by the store before you buy, they are delivered once the store's receipt is confirmed, and they cannot be cashed out or moved to another account. The store handles payment, and its rules for billing and refunds apply alongside mandatory consumer rights; ask the store for a refund. Gems and items bought with them may be affected if the game changes or ends. Deleting an account removes its game balances and items, bought gems included; it does not itself refund a store purchase.

Ads

From version 1.1 the game offers optional video ads from Google AdMob in return for a reward. You choose whether to watch one. Double coins and a second daily reward are given only once Google confirms the view to us; an extra life is given when its ad ends, at most once per cave visit. Limits on how often ads can be watched apply. Ads are provided by Google, not by us; our Privacy Policy explains the data they use and your choices.

Names, links and fair play

Choose a name that you have the right to use. Do not impersonate others, harass players, cheat, exploit bugs, automate abusive traffic, try to access another account, or interfere with the service. There is no tolerance for offensive or abusive names or behaviour. You can report a hunter's name or block a hunter from their profile in the game; we review reports and act on them, usually within 24 hours. We may refuse or change a name, reject invalid play or trap placements, limit requests, or suspend an account for abuse. You may share the app's invite, replay and recap links. Anyone with one of these links may pass it on, and linked pages can show player names and game events. Share only when you are comfortable with that visibility.

Content and availability

The game and website content are provided for personal play. The Trappy artwork, software and text belong to their respective owners; the website uses the Fredoka font under its open font license. Sharing a built-in game link does not transfer ownership of the content. The game may be unavailable during maintenance, network outages or updates. The server replays submitted actions under its rules and may correct or refuse a result that does not match.

Privacy, deletion and changes

Our Privacy Policy explains game data and service providers. You can delete your account from Settings while online; Account deletion explains the current process and remaining records. The Support page has help.

Trappy is operated by Mert Arcan. Contact contact@playtrappy.com. We may update these terms as the service changes and will show the revision date above. Mandatory rights under applicable law continue to apply.
