Frequently asked questions
Short answers about FARELINE, a free strategy game about running an airline, made by Adealsweden AB in Sweden. For the full rules, read How to play.
- What is FARELINE?
A strategy game about running an airline, one quarter at a time. You open lines, negotiate with airports, set one fare for the whole network and buy perks. Every quarter the owner sets a cash target, and a run lasts 25 quarters over 5 years.
- Where can I play it?
Right here in your browser: PLAY IN YOUR BROWSER. It runs on phones and on desktop. Coming to Google Play.
- What does it cost?
The game is free, and nothing in it is sold for money. MILES, earned by playing, buy looks and Freeplay upgrades. The Android app shows one full-screen ad a game year, when you leave the shop after the boss quarter, or one quarter earlier in a run's last year and any year after it. Ads never change a run, a score or what you earn.
- Do I need an account?
No. You never need an account. Your progress is kept on your device, and the game gets a random player id the first time it goes online. If you want your progress on more than one device, sign in with Google in Settings, ACCOUNT. The privacy policy says what is stored.
- Does it work offline?
You can play a run without a connection. The boards need an internet connection.
- How long is a run?
25 quarters: 5 years of 5 quarters. Each quarter has 3 months, and you choose cards after each month.
- What happens if I miss a target?
The cash box pays the difference. If the box falls below zero, the airline is bankrupt and the run is over. In some quarters the box cannot cover a miss at all, like THE COVENANT and every final.
- What is MULT?
The third part of revenue: PASSENGERS × FARE × MULT. It comes from the shape of your network (HUB DENSITY, CONNECTIONS, REACH) and from your perks. The guide explains each part.
- Can I choose my home airport?
In a ranked run you pick a continent, and it offers three random hubs from it. In Freeplay you can start from any of the 160 airports. See all home airports.
- What is the Daily Challenge?
One airport and one seed a day, the same for every player, with one ranked attempt at each level and a board for each.
- What are MILES for?
Looks for your airline in the Hangar, and upgrades in the Workshop that work in Freeplay only. Nothing you buy or earn changes a ranked or Daily score.
- Which level should I start with?
TAILWIND. Ranked runs start there, in Europe. Each finished run opens the next level on that continent. The levels page lists what each one adds.
- How do I report a bug?
Use FEEDBACK in the game menu, post in the Discord or on r/fareline, or write to support@fareline.live. Say what happened, what you expected, and the game version from the menu foot.
