Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about deploying Capermint games into your aviation ecosystem.
Seatback vs. Wireless BYOD: What changes in development?
Seatback games are rigorously optimized for lower CPU/RAM limits and customized for embedded Linux/Android environments, often utilizing remote-control inputs. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) games are built as responsive HTML5 web-apps that adapt perfectly to passenger smartphones and tablets via touch controls, running smoothly on the aircraft's local Wi-Fi intranet.
Can your games run fully offline during the flight?
Yes. 100% of our core catalog and custom titles are built with an "offline-first" architecture. Once loaded onto the aircraft's local server or portal CMS, they require absolutely no active satellite internet connection to function.
What devices and browsers are supported?
For BYOD, our HTML5 games support all modern mobile browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge) spanning iOS and Android devices. For seatback monitors, we support standard IFE vendor browsers, native Android APKs, and legacy embedded systems.
How do game updates work onboard the aircraft?
We provide highly compressed update packages that align with your IFE vendor's standard update cycles. Updates are typically pushed Over-The-Air (OTA) when the aircraft is grounded at a connected hub, or via physical media loads during scheduled maintenance.
Can we brand the games specifically for our airline?
Absolutely. For our licensed catalog, we offer comprehensive reskinning services including integrating your airline's logo, brand colors, and thematic elements (like your aircraft liveries inside a racing game). For custom titles, the entire aesthetic is built around your brand identity.
What telemetry and data options are available?
We can track session lengths, game completion rates, drop-off points, and click-through rates for ad placements. All data collection is stripped of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) to ensure strict GDPR and CCPA compliance by default.
What languages are supported?
Our games are built with scalable localization architecture. We support all major global languages, including complex Right-To-Left (RTL) scripts like Arabic and Hebrew, allowing you to serve diverse international passenger demographics.
Can you integrate directly with our passenger portal vendor?
Yes. We have experience integrating with major IFEC architectures including Panasonic Avionics, Thales FlytEDGE, Viasat, and Safran. We work directly alongside your IT and vendor teams to ensure seamless API handshakes.
Is in-cabin multiplayer feasible without internet?
Yes! We can leverage the aircraft's local closed-loop Wi-Fi network. This allows passengers to host and join local lobbies to play multiplayer games (like trivia or board games) against fellow travelers without needing satellite connectivity.
What about accessibility and kid-safe options?
Our UI designs adhere to WCAG contrast standards and utilize large, clear touch targets. For younger passengers, we offer COPPA-compliant modules that disable external links, remove all data telemetry, and guarantee culturally appropriate, family-friendly content.
