Hello There Clammers!
While I know we’re in the middle of a crazy paced update I want to take a moment to remind you all to CREATE AN ACCOUNT FOR YOUR GAME!! I cannot stress enough how EXTREMELY important it is to backup your Quahog with an account.
Creating an account for your Quahog will allow you to save your game via an email address or Facebook, so if something happens to your device (or your game restarts back at Level 1) you’ll be able to access your old Quahog again. And you’ll be able to access it with ease…WITHOUT having to contact TinyCo.
Not sure how to setup an account? We’ve got you covered…check out the details below the fold…..
You can create an account at any time while playing TQFS, as long as you can access the menu button, so don’t think you have to start all over to create an account.
So to back up your game via Facebook or Email (yes, you can back it up via Email so you do not have to use Facebook if you don’t want to) simply enter your Quahog and hit the menu button:
That will bring up the main menu. From the main menu screen click Account Info:
This will bring you to all of the account connections available in TQFS.
You have the option to link your game with Facebook, Google Plus or regular email. Just click on the option you want to use. And follow the on screen prompts.
For this example we’ll use regular email to create an account:
Enter the email address you want to associated the account with (make sure it’s a REAL email, because if you forget your password they’ll send reset information to you via THAT address). Then confirm the email address and hit next:
The next step is to create a password. There really are no crazy requirements for it, so it can be whatever you’d like for it to be:
Just like the email you’ll have to enter it twice:
Again hit next…and you’ll see the screen darken out with a little TV…it’s thinking:
If all is ok with the email/password combination you’ll see Stewie pop up telling you account was created successfully:
And that’s it! It’s really THAT simple! Now your Quahog is backed up in case anything ever happens to your phone or the game just resets itself (which it does from time to time).
Also, another helpful hint…and REALLY IMPORTANT: After you create the account go back to the account info page (main menu, account info) and take a screenshot of that page (info on how to take a screenshot can be found here).
You see that super long 32 digit code in the bottom right? If ANYTHING ever happens to your game…THAT is the code TinyCo will need to help restore it. So make sure you save the screenshot somewhere safe, where you can access it again if needed. I suggest emailing it to yourself, this way you can access it quickly (and from anywhere) if anything happens to your device.
Now, if you ever lose your game (if you get logged out for any reason) you can go back into your game easily. We’ve got a whole post on it here, but the quick version is…access Account Info again from the main menu, and click Sign in As Someone Else. From there follow the prompts to access your game again.
Important note…Facebook users. If you ever see this screen when trying to get your game back:
This means…your saved game (older version) will replace the Level 1 game on your device. ie You’ll restore YOUR game. I know the wording can be a little confusing, and I believe TinyCo is working on making it less confusing. But for now, if you see that pop up, know that it’s safe to hit the Red Button! 🙂
So that’s it for this TQFS basics my friends! I know for some of you this may be boring and old news, but you’d be shocked to know just how many players don’t have their games backed up. So make sure you BACK UP YOUR GAMES! It only takes a minute and really will save you a TON of frustration down the road.
Have YOU created an account to save your game? Do you link it with Facebook or email? Do you have a screenshot of your Account info? You never know when TinyCo might need it…and it usually happens when you can’t access your game. Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!
UPDATE BUNNY 12/8/14: Due to many asking for the option, TinyCo has created a way for players to REMOVE the link to the current account and change it to another. However, do so with HIGH caution. FOLLOW THE STEPS CLOSELY!!
First, you need to be updated to at LEAST Version 1.5 of the game.
The main thing is first to log your current status (like a screenshot of the money/clams/level etc). Then take a screenshot of your Player ID (menu, account, long number lower right corner as seen in images above). This is to ensure you have an record of where you are game wise.
Once that is done, then the process starts. In that same Account screen if you are for instance a Facebook User, you will see a blue button option to “Delete Facebook” with your Facebook name in the ( ). This is essentially the button to REMOVE that option. Facebook, Google +, Email, etc.
Tapping the DELETE option will delete the link between your account and your game. Once you do that, you can re-link it to the profile you want.
Now when you are ready to link the new account, follow the steps near the top of this post and just make sure your link it to the new Facebook and not the one you just removed it from. (As the game may recognize the current account you are logged into on your device you are playing on.)
Family Guy Addicts 
Can someone help me? I got the Galaxy S8, downloaded the game & went through the initial part of the game. I already have an account, but due to the S8’s curved screen, I can’t click in the menu bottom. It’s there, but when I tap it (or the clipboard) it doesn’t do anything. . How can I log into my account from this new phone? Any help wild be appreciated. Thanks.

i have a question
i play FG on Samsung Tab .. however i recently bought a iPhone 6 .. today i downloaded the game and played through the tutorial but when I clicked Connect to my Facebook .. it took me to Safari where my OTHER facebook account is (the one i use for work and has none of the crazy stuff lol) … I want it to link to the APP where my original account is …
also is it possible to create a username and password for my existing game ? what if my FB account was compromised or deleted ??
LikeLike
Basically to load your current game you need sign out your work Facebook in Safari and sign in to your game account Facebook. Open Family Guy game and then go to your account settings, change user, select connect with Facebook and it should now bring up details of your saved game – before doing this I always screenshot my loading screen digits and numbers in case accidentally do something and mess up my game, like saving the tutorial game to my Facebook. Just make sure you select change user.
As to your other question, in case something ever happens to your Facebook keep that screenshot of your loading screen handy, as that’s what TinyCo can recover your game with.

No, you only need logout your work Facebook once, once you log into your game Facebook and connect to your saved game you can then just log out that game Facebook and back into your work one and your game will work fine. I’m playing on IPhone and IPad, and after the initial loading of my saved game I log out my game Facebook and use my personal one on my devices. No issues.

I have a problem where I tried to connect to Google+ via my game for the first time, & now the account info page is locked out – the animated TV icon wobbles in the centre of the screen & I can no longer choose any options, even if I cancel, select menu, account info, the TV icon remains. Therefore, I can’t try a different method of creating an account such as creating a user name using an email address. I realy need to do this somehow, as I have been playing since October and have a lot of progress to potentially lose.
Is there a way I can reset the game to stop it trying to connect to my Google+ account without risking loss of progress?

I linked my game to my Google + account and log in (almost) every time I play. I never force a log out but each time I close the app it logs me out so I need to log back in each time I open it. Yesterday I accidentally hit “disconnect from Google” and when I logged back in it told me that my Google + account had not yet been linked to a save game. It then gave me the option to link it to my current game so I did. I purposely disconnected from Google just now and when I logged back in it once again said my account wasn’t yet linked to a save. Now I’m paranoid that my progress isn’t actually saving and if I ever have to re-install the game I’m going to lose some stuff. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

First off…hang in there. Patience my friend. Flooding them with emails will only make the process go 100 times slower. Not just for you, but the millions of other players of the game. Imagine over a million players flooding them with 20 emails each? How on earth can they get to them all in a timely manner.
Keep in mind they do run on company hours. This means that no one was there to go through help tickets on the weekend. Standard of games this size, it will take them at LEAST 3 days just to get to your ticket. Give them appropriate time to first get to your email, go into your game to locate and find issue, see if it can be resolved, work on resolution, then get back to you. Technical is not instant. Would be cool if it was, but it does not work that way.
So…hang in there, have some patience, and allow them time to get to you. 🙂

Starting from my ID to my IPod info. I am just going crazy wondering if I still have my game.

If you see an email like THAT, make sure you reply right back that you are still missing your game linked to Facebook.

The town you’re currently playing will get erased, it restores what’s synced to Facebook. To switch the account you’ll have to contact TinyCo and ask them to make the transfer for you. It’ll take a few days, BUT they’ll do it.

So, I started using my Man’s nifty tablet… let me rephrase that: I hijacked my Man’s tablet. 😉 When I went to connect w fb on his device, that warning you mentioned popped up. I was too afraid to lose progress, so I never reconnected. SO GLAD to hear I won’t lose my game if I connect w fb on my Man’s tablet.

When I found out the only way to add friends was through facebook, I decided to make a burner account just for this game to add people, but unfortunately my real FB was already linked to it. Thankfully, I was able to remove my real account about a month ago by contacting Tiny Co through their website help contact. Just sent them a message saying I accidentally connected with the wrong account and asked if they could disassociate it from my Family Guy game. They asked for my game ID number, my facebook url, and after a couple emails back and forth the problem was solved.
I also suggested more in-depth account options in game so that we can all make these changes ourselves, but nothing so far- maybe later…

People need to listen! My iPhone screwed up during an update yesterday, wiped the whole thing. Had I not connected my game facebook, I would have lost a $150 game. (Is it sad that I was more concerned about my Family Guy game than the thousands of memories lost in my camera roll? Haha!)
Thank you SO MUCH for alerting me about the code. Going to screencap it right now!

Thank you so much for this information. I am fairly new to your site and have been playing family guy since it launched. I am at level 40 and would have been very upset if I lost. Everything.

Went to log on to account to back up, lost all my progress for last couple of months. Contacted TinyCo through my game. Any other suggestions? This is the second time this has happened to me since the introduction of FGTQFS.

You say this is the second time? Did you already make a backup account? If so, you can delete the game and reinstall it to hopefully get your current game back.

Thanks, I’ll try your suggestion. I’m getting close to giving up, quitting & deleting the game.

I have mine already linked with FB. But I was hoping to link it through a normal email address instead.
However I dont have an email option.
I just have:
“Signed in with FB”
Sign in with google+
Thats all.
Im running it on Samsung S5

Once you link it to an account, you can’t switch it. That takes some work on TinyCo side IF they can do it. So it would be a matter of contacting them through your game menu and seeing what they can do.

Another good tip is email the screenshot to yourself, this way you can always pull it up quick in case something happens to your phone 🙂

Awesome! Glad it helped! It’s so important to save your game so you don’t lose everything…make sure you grab your game id as well, you never know when you’ll need it 🙂

This is good info to have, this has came in useful to me several times. I have a question that may be semi relevant to this topic. Myhusband and I both play on our phones but recently bought a tablet. I put my game on the tab and use it to play, but what happens if josh logs in his game on the tablet? Will it replace my game on the tab and my phone? Or can we toggle back n forth by signing in with our own login info? I want him to be able to use it too but im terrified of loosing my game.

As long as you both have accounts, or one of you has an account, it won’t replace it. My husband and i trade off on our tablet as well, never had a problem 🙂

We are both linked through our Facebook accounts. I just didnt want him to log in and override or replace my game with his. I feel that could be concidered legitimate ground for divorce.
So he goes in my game under acct info, logs in his fbook info etc. When he’s finished I go in HIS game to acct info and put my fbook info n load my game. Correct?

It should be ok. I honestly don’t use the Facebook option for logging in, do you have to enter your FB info or does it go off of what’s on your device? If you have to enter your details, you should be good. For us we both use the email feature, and never have a problem.

Yeah we have to enter Facebook username and password. What scares me is when it says it will override your current game and save the one your logging in to. I am afraid it would over ride it completely even on my phone.
The safest way would be to uninstall the game reinstall them let the other log in and over ride the new level one game I guess but that’s just a lot of trouble to do several times a day.

I also just learned (the hard way) that once you attach one FB acct to your game you cannot change it to a different FB account. If I’m wrong, and it would be AWESOME if I was, please let me know how!

Sorry, it is something we touched on in the beginning. Once you link, you have to go through TinyCo to see IF it can be transferred. Otherwise, it is a set thing.
