About This Game

Escape the classroom, one throw at a time.

Paper Trail is a launch-and-glide arcade game about one paper airplane's bid for freedom. Charge your throw, nail the perfect launch, then dive for speed and pull up to glide — as far as you possibly can.

Fold, launch, glide

• A snappy flight model — dive to build speed, ride thermals, dodge storms, and skip off the ground like a stone.
• Upgrade everything — spend coins on launch power, aerodynamics, boosters, magnets and more. Every run gets you farther.
• A hangar of planes and trails — unlock five distinct gliders and a set of unlockable trail styles.
• Tricks and combos — loop for flip combos, land perfect launches, and chain coin streaks.

Layers of progression

• New Game+ — max every upgrade to fold your plane anew and unlock a tier of secret upgrades.
• The Secret Shop — earn Gold Stars with stylish flying and spend them on rare boosts.
• 24 goals — distance zones to discover, and daily challenges to chase.

Three ways to play

• Classic — the full game: upgrades, hazards and wind.
• Daily Challenge — one fixed layout a day, for everyone.
• Zen — relaxed free flight, no hazards.

Clean notebook-paper visuals. Fourteen languages. Just one more throw.
