There is no Backyard Monsters download. This edition has no installer, no app and no APK: you open backyardmonsters.fbgamesweb.com in your browser, create a free account and play, with no Flash and no plugin. Searches like this one are where fake installers and free-Shiny offers tend to show up, so below you will find what is real, how to recognize what is not and what to do if you already clicked something.
Here is the game: open it in your browser, create a free account and start your yard, with no installer, no APK and no Flash.
Build your yard with buildings and towers, raise monsters with Goo and send them against the wild tribes on the map in this classic Facebook game.
In beta: some parts of the original game are not complete yet and you may run into bugs.
No. The game loads inside the web page, with no installer to run and nothing to update by hand. The browser fetches the game's images and files by itself the first time you visit, which is simply what the page loading looks like. It is not a program being installed.
There is no PC version to install, no launcher and no Android or iPhone app from FB Games. If a file is offered to you for playing Backyard Monsters here, it is not part of this project.
The only address for this edition is backyardmonsters.fbgamesweb.com. The FB Games home page links to it, and the ticket center under fbgamesweb.com lists Backyard Monsters among its games. Check the address bar before you type a password.
To start, open the site, choose Create account and play, fill in the form and you land in the game. The same address also has a how-to-play guide, a support page and a donation page.
Watch for these red flags: an .exe or .apk file, a launcher or installer, a “Flash Player” update, a browser extension, a request to allow installs from unknown sources, or a page that asks for your password. This edition needs none of them.
Apps or games with a similar name made by other people are not this edition. We cannot vouch for them, and they do not share accounts or progress with this site.
Searches for Backyard Monsters cheats, hacks or Shiny generators lead to scams. No tool adds Shiny or resources to your account, and a page offering one is trying to get your password or your details, or to make you install something. Never type your password anywhere except the game's own login.
Here Shiny comes only from playing or from a voluntary donation made through a support ticket: you open a donation ticket, pay by PayPal, attach the screenshot and the team delivers by hand. You will never be asked for your password in a ticket. The paid speed-up Finish Building NOW! is priced in Shiny, which is why so many people go looking for shortcuts.
It asks for a username, a password and, optionally, an email. It does not ask for your Facebook account or any Facebook password, and playing is free, so there is nothing to pay to start. Registering gives you a new yard; nothing from Facebook is imported.
One piece of advice: do not reuse the password of your email or your bank here. Pick a unique one, in case you ever type it on the wrong page.
Do not run it. If you already did, delete the file, run a scan with your security software and change the passwords you typed after opening it, starting with your email. This is general advice, not something specific to the game.
If you typed your Backyard Monsters password on a doubtful page, change it from the account menu under Password and security and sign out of all your active sessions. If anything strange happens to your account, open a ticket in the Account and access category. If the account is suspended, you can appeal with its username and password.
Open the site, create an account and play. Everything happens in the page. If you want more room on the screen, the account menu has a Full screen option when your browser allows it, and an option to reload the game if something stalls.
For the next steps, the how-to-play guide covers the tutorial and the first builds, the no-Flash page explains what to expect when it loads, and the mobile page says what is known about phones.
Three steps and you're in.
From this home page. Each game opens at its own address, with its own start screen.
A quick sign-up inside the game. Your progress is saved on the server, not in your browser.
You play in your browser, with no Flash and no downloads, on a computer and, depending on the game, on your phone too.
No. This edition of Backyard Monsters has no PC installer, no launcher and no client to download. You open backyardmonsters.fbgamesweb.com in your browser, create a free account and play. There is no Flash Player either. If a site offers a PC file for Backyard Monsters, it is not this project.
No. There is no APK and no app in any store for this Backyard Monsters edition. You can open the game in a phone browser, but it was designed for a mouse and has not been tested on real phones. Treat any APK offered as Backyard Monsters as suspicious and do not install it.
At backyardmonsters.fbgamesweb.com, which is the only address for this edition. Check the address bar before you create an account or type a password. FB Games links to it from its home page, and no one needs to download anything or give you a file to play Backyard Monsters.
No. Offers of Backyard Monsters cheats, hacks or Shiny generators are fake and dangerous, because they aim to steal passwords or install harmful software. Shiny comes from playing or from a voluntary donation made through a support ticket, never from a tool, and the team will never ask for your password.
We cannot vouch for it. This Backyard Monsters edition has no installer, so a file claiming to be one did not come from this project. Apps with a similar name made by other people are not this edition and do not share accounts with it. Do not run the file.
Creating an account and playing Backyard Monsters here is free, so there is nothing to pay to start. Donations are voluntary and go through a support ticket. You do not need Facebook, and the sign-up asks only for a username, a password and an optional email.
Do not run it. If you did, delete it, scan your device with security software and change the passwords you typed afterward, starting with your email. If you typed your Backyard Monsters password, change it from the account menu and sign out of all sessions, then open a ticket in the Account and access category.
No. This edition of Backyard Monsters opens in the browser with no Flash, no plugins and nothing to install. Current browsers do not run Flash, so a page that tells you to install or update a Flash Player to play is not helping you. Close it.
