    Hello,

    We just got new iPhone 5s in our family and the little one in our Family wants to preserve the progress in games (Pony Trails mainly, there's other things called Ham Race and Stickman 2).

    I backed up the iPhone (old) and then synced it with iPhone 5 but the games are not there. I searched to see if the game was in the iTunes to see if I could manually drag it to the iPhone 5 but it wasn't there neither.

    What could I be doing wrong?

    you just did a sync? Did you actually try restoring the new phone from the backup of the old phone instead of just syncing it?
