Apple gives away apps for free on the App Store as part of its “App of the Week” promotion. That happens every Thursday and lasts for, you guessed it, a week.
But the App Store is not the only place where Apple hands apps for free. Call it a new “tradition” if you will, as Apple uses its Apple Store´s mobile app to lure potential buyers with a cost-free paid app.
Now, it´s the turn for Triada´s $2.99 Shadowmatic, a puzzle game that will be available for free for a limited time for US Apple Store users.
How do you get the promotion outside the United States? Before we start with a list of steps to download the almost $3 game, you need to create an American Apple ID without credit or debit card by following Apple´s simple steps here.
You will also need to install a VPN on your iPhone. I recommend you try ArkVPN for free.
Now, this is what you have to do to get your hands on Shadowmatic:
- Download and open the free Apple Store app
- Turn on the VPN on a US location (New York is a good spot)
- Open the app and swipe down until you find the Apple Music ad
- Tap on the Shadowmatic banner to be redirected to the App Store
- Redeem the free Shadowmatic code
That´s it; now you´re the owner of Triada´s game. Here´s Shadowmatic´s description, in case you´re not familiar with the app:
Shadowmatic is an imagination-stirring puzzle where you rotate abstract objects in a spotlight to find recognizable silhouettes in projected shadows, relevant to the surrounding environment.

Update:
You don’t need a VPN to get the free game; just open the App Store app and redeem the code with your American Apple ID.
