Don't close room when all players leave
Options
I'm looking into making a Unity turn-based mobile game with PUN in which players can play the game and then exit and come back while their opponent is taking their turn (similar to Words with Friends). I have some PUN experience and I know that when a room has no members in it, it will automatically close. Is there some way to prevent this from happening? I would like a room to remain open so players who are returning to finish a game will receive all of the buffered RPCs in order to restore the gamestate. Is this possible?

PUN is not ready for turnbased games where you can save the state and return. The "returning" in this workflow is a bit tricky, so you can't at the moment.
You can use the Photon Turnbased SDK for Unity clients from our download page. This has a Turnbased sample and with little more effort you can have inactive users in a room and the room will be saved when everyone leaves.
