What happened to Flash?

Adobe ended support for Flash Player on December 31, 2020, and from January 12, 2021 it began blocking Flash content from running. Anything that depended on the player could no longer count on it.

That is why searches like Bubble Island no Flash exist: people who remember the Facebook game want to know whether it can still be played without the old player. On this edition the answer does not depend on Flash at all.

How do I play Bubble Island without Flash?

Open bubble.fbgamesweb.com, create your account on the sign-up page and press Play. That is the whole process: no plugins to enable, no program to download, no APK and no installer. If you open Play without being logged in, the site sends you to the login page first.

Once you are inside, the game loads on the same page, with the friends panel at its side. A short How to Play screen comes before your first 60-second round.

What does my browser need?

A browser with the page's features turned on. If a feature the game relies on is missing, the site tells you and the game does not start.

We have only tested Bubble Island with Chrome and with a mouse. Firefox, Safari and phone browsers have not been verified, so we cannot promise they work. If you try another browser and hit a problem, a ticket in Support helps us.

Why does the first load take so long?

The first time you open Bubble Island it downloads a lot of material, so it can take a while. If it goes past 9 seconds, a notice asks you not to close the page. Give it time.

Later visits are faster because the browser keeps what it already downloaded. If the game ever looks out of date or stuck, open the account menu and choose Clear game cache. If that does not help, force a reload with Ctrl+Shift+R. Either way, your progress stays in your account.

What is the same as the original, and what is missing?

The core idea is the one you remember: aim the cannon, match three or more bubbles of one color, and score in 60-second rounds with a weekly leaderboard. The mode you get is the weekly one, shown as Weekly Tournament.

The Adventure Mode of the original is not here, and neither are an island map or worlds. Since this is a beta, some sounds and part of the artwork are missing, and video ads and Facebook Credits purchases do not exist.

What if Bubble Island does not load?

If the game says it could not start, reload the page first. If that keeps happening, open a ticket in Support with a screenshot; you need to be logged in to reach it.

If you cannot get in, remember that many failed login attempts mean waiting a few minutes before trying again. Sign-ups are limited to 10 per hour per network, and registration can be closed for a while, so come back later.

Which language and which account do I need?

The game and its pages come in English and Spanish, with a button for each, and the game uses the language of the page. No other language is available.

An account of your own is required. Sign-up asks for a username and a password, and email is optional. Neither sign-up nor login offers Facebook or Google, and progress from the Facebook game is not imported.

How it works

Three steps and you're in.

  1. Pick a game

  2. Create your account

    A quick sign-up inside the game. Your progress is saved on the server, not in your browser.

  3. Play wherever you like

    You play in your browser, with no Flash and no downloads, on a computer and, depending on the game, on your phone too.

Frequently asked questions about Bubble Island without Flash

Can you play Bubble Island without Flash?

Yes. The Bubble Island edition on FB Games runs in the browser with no Flash and no plugins. You open bubble.fbgamesweb.com, log in with your own account and play. There is nothing to download or enable, and it is a free, unofficial beta.

Do I need Flash Player installed to play Bubble Island?

No. Bubble Island does not use Flash Player, so there is nothing to install or enable. There is no plugin, no program, no APK and no installer. All you need is a browser with the page's features turned on and an account of your own.

When did Flash stop working?

Adobe ended support for Flash Player on December 31, 2020, and began blocking Flash content on January 12, 2021. This edition of Bubble Island does not depend on it, so those dates do not affect you: you play in the browser with no player and no plugins.

Do I have to download anything to play Bubble Island?

No. You play Bubble Island directly in your browser. The only thing that downloads is the game's own material the first time you load it, which can take a while, and your browser keeps it so later visits are faster. There is no installer, APK or app.

Which browser should I use for Bubble Island?

We have only tested Bubble Island with Chrome and with a mouse, so Chrome on a computer is the safest choice. Firefox, Safari and phone browsers have not been verified, and the browser needs the page's features turned on.

Why does Bubble Island take so long to load the first time?

The first load downloads quite a lot of material, so Bubble Island can take a while the first time. After 9 seconds a notice asks you not to close the page. Next visits are faster because your browser stores what it already downloaded.

Bubble Island will not start. What can I do?

Reload the page. If Bubble Island still says it could not start, open a ticket in Support while logged in and attach a screenshot. You can also try Clear game cache in the account menu, or a forced reload with Ctrl+Shift+R.

Is Bubble Island without Flash the same as the Facebook version?

The core rules are the same idea: aim, match three or more bubbles, 60-second rounds and a weekly leaderboard. The original Adventure Mode is not included, and because this is a beta, some sounds and part of the artwork are still missing.

Is Bubble Island free without Flash?

Yes. Creating an account and playing Bubble Island on this site is free. There are no diamond purchases and no video ads in this edition, and you do not have to install Flash or anything else. It is an unofficial beta, so expect a few rough edges.

Do I need Facebook to play Bubble Island without Flash?

No. You create an account of your own with a username and a password, and email is optional. Neither sign-up nor login offers Facebook or Google, and progress from the Facebook version of Bubble Island is not imported. Never enter a Facebook password on the page.

Which languages does Bubble Island support?

English and Spanish. The Bubble Island pages have a button for each, and the game uses the language of the page you are on, so switch with the buttons if you want the other one. No other languages are available, even if you are reading a guide in another language.
