Who you are dealing with
TURNSTONES 007 is made and owned by TURNSTONES007, an independent one-person studio in India. "We" and "us" on this page mean that studio. Everything below is between you and it, and there is nobody else in the middle except Google, who serve the advertising and run the Play Store.
What TURNSTONES 007 is, and what it costs
It is a one-player field game of seven battlefields. There are two ways to play it and both are free:
- This website. OUTPOST, the first battlefield, runs in your browser — complete, unlimited, no account, nothing to install.
- The Android app, from the Play Store. All seven battlefields, on your phone, also free.
The six battlefields this site does not carry are not behind a price. They are in the app, and the app costs nothing. Sealed on the board here means "not on this website", not "pay us".
There is nothing to purchase in either one. No price, no premium version, no in-app purchases, no subscription, no currency, no loot boxes, no paid unlocks, and no way to buy your way onto a sealed battlefield. If a screen anywhere ever asks you to pay for TURNSTONES 007, it is not ours — close it and tell us.
Both versions are paid for by advertising instead. That is the whole arrangement: you play for nothing, advertisers pay for the work, and the game does not ask you for money at any point.
Advertising
The website and the app both carry ads. What we control and what we do not:
- We choose where the ad slots sit — beside the page, between things, and after a run ends. Never on top of the playfield, never over a countdown, never in the way of something you are in the middle of doing.
- We do not choose the individual ads. Google's network does, from its own inventory. We cannot see in advance what will appear next to the game.
- If you see something misleading, offensive or broken, tell us. We will report the advertiser to Google — that is genuinely the strongest lever we have, and we do use it. We cannot remove one advertiser ourselves.
- An ad blocker on the website is your business. The game still works and the ad boxes stay empty. We ask you not to, because that advertising is the only thing paying for this, but nothing here is conditional on it.
What the advertising does with data — cookies on the web, the advertising ID on Android, and how to turn personalisation off in both — is set out in the privacy policy.
Using the game
Play as much as you like, without an account. Please do not:
- copy, rehost, republish or redistribute the game or any part of it;
- decompile, reverse-engineer, repackage or modify the game files or the installed app;
- extract the app and republish it — on a download aggregator, an apk mirror or anywhere else. The Play Store is the only place it is distributed from, and we intend to keep it that way;
- embed the game on another site without written permission;
- use automated tools against the site, or interfere with the advertising.
The app is licensed to you, not sold to you: a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and play it on devices you control, for as long as these terms are kept. It being free does not put it in the public domain.
Who owns what
The game, its code, artwork, sound, name and logo belong to TURNSTONES007. Playing it is permission to play it, and nothing more.
The result cards the game makes are yours. Post them anywhere you like — that is what they are for. You may also stream or record the game, on any platform, and keep any revenue you make from doing it.
Saved progress is stored on your device
Neither version uses a server to store anything. Battlefields cleared, keys, best times and settings are written into your own device — your browser's storage on the website, the app's own storage on your phone.
Clearing your browsing data deletes the website's progress permanently, and uninstalling the app deletes the app's. So does playing in a private or incognito window, and so does switching browser or device. The two do not sync with each other. There is no backup anywhere and we cannot restore it.
By playing you accept that risk. It is the direct cost of us holding no data about you.
Where the app comes from
There is no .apk on this website and no direct download. If you find TURNSTONES 007 offered as a file somewhere else, it did not come from us — we cannot support it, we cannot vouch for what has been done to it, and it is not covered by anything on this page however much it looks like our game.
Installing through the store means the build is reviewed, updates arrive on their own, and you can read the data-safety disclosure before you install rather than after.
Playing time, and a plain warning
A run has a countdown, a score and a result card, and it is built to make you want another one immediately. That is the same loop that makes games genuinely habit-forming for some people. Video game addiction is a recognised condition, and it costs people sleep, study, work and relationships.
There is a break reminder in the masthead, set to 30 minutes to begin with and adjustable to 7, 15, 45 or 60 — or off. When the time is up, a line appears at the top of the page and takes itself away again a few seconds later. It does not pause the game, cover the field or ask you to do anything, and it can be turned off in one press.
It counts time on the field and nothing else: a tab left open on the board, or on this page, is not playing and is not counted. Please treat the reminder as the break it is meant to be rather than a line to read past.
If you cannot stop when you mean to, if you are hiding how long you play, or if playing is costing you sleep, school, work or the people around you, that is worth taking seriously and worth talking to a doctor or someone you trust about. This game is not worth any of those things.
Payments
We take no money from players anywhere — not on this site, not in the app, not through the Play Store. There is nothing to buy, so there is nothing to refund. Any charge claiming to be for TURNSTONES 007 did not come from us, and your bank or Google Play is the right place to take it.
What is on this site, and for how long
Which battlefields this website carries is our decision and it may change — more may open here, and what is open may move. OUTPOST is free here and stays free. If it ever fails to load, that is a bug and not a paywall, and we would like to hear about it.
Otherwise the game is offered as it is. We may change it, add to it, or take it down. We try not to break things, but this is a free game and nothing guarantees it will be up at any particular moment, on either the website or the store.
No warranty, and the limits of what we owe you
The game is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, TURNSTONES007 is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the website or the app, including the loss of any saved progress. Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
Which law applies
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts of India have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
Changes
These terms may change; the date at the top says when they last did. Continuing to use the website or the app after a change means you accept the new version.
