Chaichi for iPhone

Chaichi is a tea-house idle game set in Iraqi Kurdistan. You pour chai into a small waisted glass called an istikan, hire a chaichi to carry the tray, and grow one glass on a street corner into a chai house people navigate by.

Common questions

I lost my progress.
Chaichi saves on your device only, so deleting the app deletes the save with it, and a new phone starts a new shop. There is no account and no copy on a server, which is also why the game asks nothing of you to play it.

My shop earned money while I was away.
That is intended. Your staff keep pouring at half speed while the app is closed, up to twelve hours.

The game is not running smoothly.
Close the app fully and reopen it. If it continues, email us with your iPhone model and iOS version.

How do I start over?
Open the Empire tab and scroll to the bottom. Erasing is permanent and cannot be undone.

Age rating

Chaichi is rated 4+. There is no violence, no chat, no user-generated content, and nothing to buy inside the game.
