Mai Suya on iPhone and iPad

Mai Suya plays on an iPhone or iPad in Safari: no App Store, no download and no account. This page covers opening it, putting a shortcut on your Home Screen, and keeping your stall safe when Safari forgets things.

Mai Suya iPhone: how do I play it in Safari?

Open the game in Safari and play. Mai Suya is a web game, so there is nothing to install on an iPhone or iPad, and any device with an up-to-date Safari can open it.

  1. Open Safari

    Use Safari on your iPhone or iPad, kept up to date.

  2. Open the Play page

    Go to the Play page of this site. The game opens in the page and is laid out for a phone held upright.

  3. Open your stall

    Tap Start, buy your stock and open for the night. A tap on a meat in the tray, then a tap on a grill slot, puts a skewer on.

How do I use Add to Home Screen on iPhone?

In Safari, tap the Share button, scroll the list and tap “Add to Home Screen”, check the name and tap Add. The Mai Suya icon then sits on your Home Screen and opens the game; it usually opens without Safari’s address bar.

It is a shortcut to the website, not an installed app. The game still needs a connection to open, and there is no offline mode. The download page explains what the shortcut does on Android too.

What happens to my stall on an iPhone?

It is saved in Safari as you play, after every night and every purchase. A private tab forgets everything when you close it, so a private window loses the stall. So do clearing Safari’s website data and playing on a new device.

Two things keep it safe. Tap “Save code” on the title screen and copy the code somewhere you can reach, or sign in with your email so the cloud holds it. On iOS the Home Screen icon and Safari can keep separate stalls, so use the code to move a stall from one to the other. How saving works.

Does Mai Suya on iPad work?

Yes, the same way. A wide enough window gets the wide layout, with the tray, the customers and the grill laid out together, and the phone layout is used in a narrow one. The play on PC page describes the wide layout.

What do people ask about playing on iPhone and iPad?

Is there a Mai Suya iOS app?

No. There is no Mai Suya app on the App Store, and no TestFlight or other install. The game is played in Safari, and “Add to Home Screen” only adds a shortcut to the same web page.

Where is the Share button in Safari?

On an iPhone it is the square with an arrow in the bottom toolbar. On an iPad it sits at the top of the window. If you cannot see the toolbar, scroll the page up a little and it returns.

Why is my stall missing after I added the icon?

On iOS the Home Screen icon and Safari can keep separate storage, so a stall begun in Safari may not show in the icon. Copy the save code in Safari and load it in the icon, or sign in with your email in both.
