You've moved into Number 14, Larkspur Commons. The last owner left a NO SOLICITING sign by the door. Nobody on the street has read it.
For iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. The first week is free.
August to August
A stranger on the step in August is somebody you know by December.
The game never leaves the doorstep. A door, a hall, a street, and whoever comes up the path. What changes is the year around it: the leaves, Halloween with the porch light on or off, snow in December, a power cut, spring storms, fireworks night.
82 days across a full year, from one August to the next.
The first week
Everyone on the street has a reason to ring your doorbell.
The HOA liaison, with a clipboard and a welcome packet. A parcel courier with a package for someone who moved out. A food courier who usually has the wrong address. A man from Pritchard Air who is not selling anything. A kid who lives right there, rings, and runs. A neighbor who borrows things. A cat that is nobody's, and possibly yours.
- Lenora PikeLarkspur Commons HOA. Keeps standards.
- Mack MercerParcel courier.
- June ParkFood courier. Usually the wrong address.
- Clive PritchardPritchard Air. Not selling anything.
- Milo BellLives right there. Rings, runs.
- Nia FloresAcross the street. Borrows things.
- The catNobody's. Possibly yours.
Then it's October and they're back, and December, and spring. You learn who rings once and who rings twice. They learn how you answer. Others come later.
December 4
By December, you know who it is before you open.
Look at the shape in the frosted glass. Ask who it is. Open the door slowly, quickly, or a crack with the chain on. Shut it in the middle of a sentence. Whoever is out there can tell how you did it, and they remember next time.
- Who is it?
- Leave it there.
At the door
Be polite. Or don't.
Every visit is a conversation at the step, and you pick what to say. Some people take no for an answer.

What comes to the door
Some of it you'll want to keep.
Rubber Duck
Squeaks. Mack heard it in the truck and has decided not to mention it.
From Mack
HOA Welcome Packet
Forty pages. Page one welcomes you. Pages two through forty explain what you may not do.
From Lenora
Promotional Magnetic Hook
Holds keys. Or a brochure. Clive was very clear about the brochure.
From Clive
Sugar Jar
Returned full, with a different lid and a cookie on top.
From Nia
The One Fry
One fry. Just the one. June said enjoy.
From June
Chalk Arrow
Pointing at the doorbell, in case anyone missed it.
From Milo
89 things can come through the door over the year, the front half of a horse costume among them.
The doorstep journal
They remember how you answered.
Everyone who rings goes in the journal. “Lenora Pike: Asked you to cite a rule. You asked her to cite one back.”
Packages keep arriving for M. Bellweather, too. The journal keeps track of what you find out about whoever lived here before, and of where things stand with everyone who has rung the bell.
On iPhone Duo
Opening the phone opens the door.
Closed, the cover screen is the inside of your front door, with someone standing behind the glass. To answer it, you open your phone. To end the conversation, you close it. How hard is up to you, and they notice.
On every other iPhone and on iPad, you drag the door open or use the brass slide beside it.
The first week is free.
Your first week at Number 14 is the last week of August, seven days at the door, and it's free to play. The rest of the year, September through August and the ending, is one purchase: $5.99 in the United States.
No ads, no subscription, nothing else to buy. Family Sharing is on. The journal and everything that's been delivered stay yours whether or not you buy.

What stays on your device. Your households, the journal, what's been delivered and your settings are saved on your device only. There are no accounts. Delete the app and they are gone. The game shows no ads and does not track you across other apps or websites.
Play statistics. To learn where the game works and where people stop playing, No Soliciting! sends a few anonymous counts to PostHog, an analytics service whose servers are in the United States. They are: that the game was opened; that a household moved in; which day of the year was finished; that the offer to unlock the year was shown, and what happened next (bought, not now, or restored); and that the year was finished. Each one carries the game's version and whether it is a test copy or the App Store's, the kind of device (iPhone, iPad or iPhone Duo), the iOS version, the reading pace you chose, and whether the year is unlocked.
These are filed under a random number made up on your device. It is not your name, your Apple Account, your Game Center profile or any identifier of your device, and we have no way to connect it to you. Nothing you say or do at the door is sent: not your replies, not your signatures, not what you kept. PostHog is told not to build a profile from the number and not to look up a location. Like any internet service it sees the address a request comes from; ours is set not to keep it. We do not sell these counts or share them for advertising.
Turning it off. In the game, open Settings and switch off “Share play statistics”. That stops it at once, throws away anything that hadn't been sent yet, and forgets the random number.
The purchase. Unlocking the rest of the year is an in-app purchase handled by Apple. We never see your payment details or your Apple Account; the game only learns whether the year is unlocked.
Game Center is optional. If you're signed in to Game Center, the achievements you earn go to Apple's Game Center under your Game Center profile, as described in Apple's privacy policy. The game plays the same if you're not signed in.
iPhone Duo. On iPhone Duo the game reads how far the phone is open so the door can follow it. The reading is used on the spot and never saved or sent anywhere.
Everyone. The game does not use the camera, the microphone, your location or your contacts. It is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone; the play statistics are the same anonymous counts whoever is playing.
This website. This page counts visits with Plausible, a cookieless analytics service. It does not use cookies or collect information that identifies you directly. The game itself never talks to it.
Changes. If what the game collects ever changes, this page and the date above change first, before the update ships.
