Yes, you can play Car Town without Flash. This edition runs in the browser at cartown.fbgamesweb.com with no Flash Player, no plugin and nothing to install: you open the page, log in with an account of your own and play. This guide explains why old Flash games no longer run, what your browser needs, what to try if the game does not load, and what you no longer need.
Open the page in your browser, create a free account and start your first job. There is no player to install and no plugin to switch on.
Buy cars, paint them any color, put them to work in your garage and race your neighbors in friendly reflex races, in this classic Facebook car game.
In beta: some parts of the original game are missing and you may run into bugs.
The original Car Town, made by Cie Games, was a Flash game for Facebook. Adobe ended support for Flash Player on December 31, 2020, and browsers have blocked Flash from running since January 12, 2021, so Flash games can no longer be opened in current browsers.
That is why searches such as Car Town no Flash exist: people who played years ago want to know whether there is a way to play again. In this edition the answer does not depend on Flash at all.
Open cartown.fbgamesweb.com, create your account on the sign-up form and enter. That is the whole process: no plugin to enable, no program to download, no APK and no installer.
Right after you enter, a handful of welcome notices show up one after another, the Daily Bonus among them. The X or the OK button closes each one, and none of them means something is broken.
A current browser on a computer, used with a mouse. Chrome is the one we have tried. Other browsers are unverified, so we cannot promise they work. If one gives you trouble, open a support ticket and say which it was.
No extra software is needed on top of the browser itself, and you do not have to turn anything on or off.
On a first visit, and especially on a slow connection, Car Town can take a while to show your garage. If it is slow to appear, wait a little and keep the tab open. If the screen stays blank for a long time, reload the page.
Later visits are usually quicker, though we have not measured it, so please do not judge the game by a single slow start.
Go through these in order. First, wait a little and reload the page. Second, close other heavy tabs and reload again. Third, clear this site's data in your browser's own settings and log in again. Fourth, try Chrome if you were using another browser.
Your progress is tied to your account, so none of this deletes your garage. If the game still does not start, open a support ticket.
You do not need Flash, a plugin, a download, an app or an installer. You do not need Facebook either: there is no Facebook login, and progress from the Facebook game is not imported, so you start with a fresh account. And there is nothing to pay for entry: the game is free.
You do need an account of your own, with a username of 3 to 24 characters and a password of 8 or more. The email is optional.
This is an independent browser edition based on the original game. In it you can buy cars, customize them, work in your garage and race neighbors. It is in beta, and parts of the original are missing. The game is in English and Spanish only.
For now the racing side is limited to friendly races. The racing guide lists what is open and what is closed.
Three steps and you're in.

They are welcome notices, and the Daily Bonus is one of them. In Car Town they are a normal part of a first visit and not errors. Each one has an X or an OK button, so you can close them as you read, and nothing needs to be installed or fixed.
No. You create an account of your own with a username and a password, and the email is optional. This edition has no Facebook login, nothing asks for a Facebook password, and progress from the Facebook version of Car Town is not imported.
We have not tried it on a phone, and the game is built for a computer screen and a mouse. Start on a computer. If you try a phone anyway, a support ticket telling us how it went is welcome.
