Not if you’re buying a game. An account isn’t required to play a purchased title.

If you buy a game (like one of the Delicious Emily games), you can continue playing it as a guest. Your purchase is linked to your app store account, so even if you switch devices, you can restore your game anytime as long as you're using the same Apple ID or Google account.

🎮 However, guest access is limited.
If you're playing without buying, you’ll be able to try the game for a short time. After that, you’ll need to create a free gamehouse+ account to keep playing with ads.

📌 So while an account isn’t required for purchased games, it does unlock more flexibility especially if you’re exploring free content or planning to upgrade to VIP later on.

Bottom line? If you’ve purchased the game, you’re good to go. But if you’re playing for free, a quick account setup helps keep the fun going.
