These Terms of Use (“Terms”) form a legal agreement between you and LEBEDUSHKA, MCHJ XK (“Lebedushka”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) governing your download, installation, access to, and use of Android or iOS builds of the game PhonePlot (the “Game”), package/bundle ID com.phoneplot.game. By installing, opening, or using the Game, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge the PhonePlot Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Game.
Version note: these Terms cover Android and iOS builds, including test builds. The catalog and availability of ads or purchases can vary by app version, store and region; the installed Game shows the features it offers.
You must be legally capable of entering into these Terms. PhonePlot tells a crime story about a missing journalist and is not designed or directed for children. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms for you and supervise your use where required. You may not use the Game if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.
Subject to these Terms and applicable app-store rules, we grant you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to install and use one copy of the Game on compatible devices that you own or control, solely for your private, non-commercial entertainment. The Game is licensed, not sold. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by Lebedushka and its licensors.
PhonePlot is a work of fiction. Every character, company, message, email, photograph, recording, transaction and document in it was invented for this game, and any resemblance to a real person, business or event is coincidental. Nothing in the Game is a factual claim about anyone.
The phone you investigate is part of that fiction — it exists only inside the Game. The Game does not read, access or transmit the real messages, photos, contacts, call log or files on your own device, and it requests no permission that would let it. See the PhonePlot Privacy Policy for the detail.
Current builds contain nine complete cases and 151 questions, including the new sequels Second Draft and Open House. The story content can be explored offline; ads and purchases require a network connection. Questions may use typed answers, choices, ordering, evidence selection or codes. The player name you enter and your progress are stored locally and are not an account or a guaranteed backup. Clearing app data, replacing a device, uninstalling the Game, device failure, operating-system behaviour or an update may cause progress to be lost, and we are not obligated to restore it.
Each question carries up to three hints that unlock in order, from a nudge to a direct answer. Where rewarded hints are available, a new hint may be offered for an optional video; a hint is granted only after the ad network confirms the reward. If a video is unavailable, you can keep investigating without a hint. PhonePlot+ unlocks hints without videos. We may change how hints are worded or paced in a future version.
You can start playing for free. Further case access and optional rewarded videos depend on the installed build. The Game may show a full-screen interstitial after a correct answer at a natural pause, subject to a minimum interval between full-screen ads and ad availability. A failed or unavailable ad does not undo an answer or block the next question. Ads are supplied by AppLovin MAX and may be subject to the advertising provider’s terms and privacy practices.
PhonePlot+ is an optional weekly auto-renewable subscription. While active, it unlocks all cases, removes ads and provides unlimited hints. A separate consumable case key can permanently open one chosen case. Previous lifetime Plus and individual-case purchases remain valid. The store displays the price, taxes, billing period and offer terms before confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled in your platform store account settings. Cancellation stops future renewals; access normally lasts until the paid period ends. Your store handles payments and refund requests under its terms and mandatory consumer law. Official promo codes are redeemed through the relevant store, subject to its eligibility and availability rules. Our backend verifies store transactions and maintains anonymous purchase accounts, case-key balances and entitlements. This does not create a cloud backup of story progress.
The Game sends gameplay and monetisation events to Yandex AppMetrica and Google Firebase Analytics so we can see how far players get and whether ads and purchases work, as described in the Privacy Policy. Those events do not carry typed answers or your player name. AppMetrica, Firebase Analytics and AppLovin may process technical device information under their own notices.
Our PhonePlot Privacy Policy explains what the Game stores on your device, the analytics and advertising SDKs, platform-store purchases, Android permissions, iOS tracking choices, retention, international transfers and your rights. It forms an important part of your relationship with us but does not limit rights you have under mandatory law.
You agree that you will not, and will not help another person to:
PhonePlot and all associated software, case design, script, dialogue, artwork, photography, audio recordings, interface, branding, trademarks, and other content are owned by Lebedushka or its licensors and protected by intellectual-property and other laws. Except for the limited license above, these Terms transfer no ownership or intellectual-property right to you. “PhonePlot”, Lebedushka names, logos, and related trade dress may not be used without prior written permission.
If you voluntarily send ideas, suggestions, or other feedback about PhonePlot, you grant us a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, publish, and otherwise exploit that feedback for any lawful purpose without compensation or obligation to you. Do not send confidential material or content you lack the right to share.
We may patch, update, rebalance, add, remove, restrict, or replace any part of the Game, including questions, hints, artwork, audio, language support and compatibility. We do not promise a particular release date or number of future cases. Updates may be automatic through your app store, and continued use may require a supported device, current operating system, or new Game version. Any new feature remains subject to these Terms unless separate terms are presented.
We aim to provide an enjoyable Game but do not promise uninterrupted availability, compatibility with every device, error-free operation, or ongoing support. We may suspend or discontinue all or part of PhonePlot at any time, subject to mandatory law.
Your app store, the analytics provider, device manufacturers and operating-system services are operated by third parties under their own agreements. We are not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, promises or data practices. Your store is not a party to these Terms and, to the extent permitted by law, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for PhonePlot. If these Terms conflict with mandatory app-store rules applicable to your use, those rules control only to the extent of the conflict.
PhonePlot is provided solely for entertainment. It does not provide investigative, forensic, legal, medical, financial or other professional advice, and nothing in it describes how to access another person’s device or data in real life.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Game and all related content and services are provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, accuracy, and availability. We do not warrant that PhonePlot will meet your expectations; preserve progress; be secure, uninterrupted, or error-free; or that defects will be corrected. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of this section may not apply to you.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Lebedushka and its owners, affiliates, personnel, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential loss, or for loss of data, local progress, profits, revenue, goodwill, opportunity, or business, arising from or relating to the Game, third-party services, or these Terms, even if advised that such loss was possible.
The Game is free to install, with an optional in-app purchase. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability arising from or relating to PhonePlot or these Terms will not exceed the greater of US $10 (or the equivalent in local currency) and the amount you paid us through your app store for PhonePlot+ in the preceding 12 months. These limitations do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Your mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Lebedushka and its affiliates, personnel, licensors, and providers from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Game, your material breach of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own unlawful conduct and does not reduce mandatory rights available to consumers.
You may end these Terms at any time by stopping use and uninstalling the Game. We may suspend features or terminate your license if you materially breach these Terms, create legal, security, or fraud risk, or if we discontinue PhonePlot. Where reasonable and legally required, we will provide notice or an opportunity to remedy. On termination, your license ends and you must stop using the Game. Provisions that by their nature should survive — including intellectual property, feedback, disclaimers, liability, indemnity, governing law, and general provisions — will survive.
We may revise these Terms to reflect Game changes, providers, legal requirements, security, or business practices. We will post the revised Terms, update the date, and provide additional notice where required. Changes apply prospectively from their effective date. If you do not agree to revised Terms, stop using and uninstall the Game.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Uzbekistan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Subject to mandatory law, disputes that cannot be resolved informally will be submitted to the competent courts of Tashkent, Uzbekistan. If you are a consumer, nothing in these Terms deprives you of mandatory protections, remedies, or the right to bring proceedings in the courts available under the laws of your habitual residence. Before filing a claim, we encourage you to email us so both sides can try in good faith to resolve it.
