Yes, there is a Car Town private server, and you can play on it from your browser: the edition at cartown.fbgamesweb.com runs on an independent server kept by FB Games, with Car Town accounts of its own, free and in beta. It is not the official site of the game and it has no connection to Facebook. This guide explains what “private server” means, what this one stores and checks, how to protect your account, which rules it sets, where to get help and how voluntary donations work.
Open the game, create a free account of your own and see for yourself how this independent Car Town server works. It is a beta, so some parts are still closed.
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.
A private server is a game server run by someone other than the company that made the game, with its own accounts and its own rules. Car Town was made by Cie Games and played on Facebook from 2010. The server behind this edition is a separate one, kept by FB Games, with Car Town accounts of its own.
What sets it apart is that you install nothing: no launcher, no patched game file, no Flash. You open it in your browser, create a free account and play. It is an independent edition based on the original game, in beta, and it does not claim to be the original or the official site.
The server keeps your progress, tied to your account: your money, your cars, your level and the state of your garage. The garage belongs to your account rather than to one browser. We checked this by reloading the game in the same browser, and everything was still in place.
The server also holds the rulebook. It decides prices, rewards and times, and it checks the scores of your races, while the game on your screen only asks it for things.
Pick a password of at least 8 characters (up to 128) that is not a common one and does not resemble your username, and use one you do not use anywhere else. The email is optional and only serves to recover your password: if you skipped it at sign-up, you can add it later in your account page.
Inside the game, the account menu gathers your account, password and security, support tickets, a way to report a problem, reload the game, full screen, donate and log out. If the forms get too many attempts, or too many accounts are created from the same network, a notice asks you to wait a while and try again.
If you forget your password, you ask for a recovery code using your username or your email, and the support team gives you a one-time code to choose a new one. People handle it, so it is neither automatic nor instant. If your account is suspended, you can appeal the sanction from the website with your username and password.
The rules, values and limits here are set by this server, and they are provisional: they can change during the beta, so never assume that a number matches the Facebook original. That is also why our guides list no amounts or prices.
You will notice some rules early. A job left at your station for more than twice its duration spoils and pays nothing. Winning friendly races against neighbors gives coins and experience up to a daily limit. The Route 66 Adventure lasts 14 days from the moment you begin it. Rewards and timers all come from the server.
Other parts are switched off for now: the High Stakes Track is closed, and events and brand promotions are off. Friendly racing is open. These closures belong to the beta, and nothing is broken on your side.
Open Support from the game or the website and start a new ticket. The categories are game bug, account and access, payments and donations, suggestion, unfair play or abuse, and other. You can attach a screenshot (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 1 MB). The answer arrives in the same ticket, with a notice on the website and in the game. You must be logged in to open one; without a session there is a public help page.
FB Games also has a ticket center at fbgamesweb.com/tickets, where you pick Car Town as the related game and follow your ticket with a tracking code. We will never ask for your password or card details in a ticket. Car Town has no public chat.
Donating is optional. You open a donation ticket in the payments and donations category, attach a screenshot of your payment, and the team delivers the credits by hand, so not instantly. Amounts are agreed inside the ticket and are not published. You can also earn credits just by playing, for example when you level up or with the Daily Bonus.
This server is an independent beta, and some things are not written down. The site has no terms-of-use page and no privacy policy at the moment, and it makes no public promises about backups, restarts, deletions or how long the server stays up. We would rather say so than imply guarantees we have not made.
What you do have is a public changes page that lists updates, a support team you can reach by ticket, and plain notes about what is closed or still missing. If you want something that is not there yet, send a suggestion ticket.
Whatever the game, a few checks help. Does the server ask you to install a launcher or a patched game file? Does it ask for the password of another account, such as Facebook, or for card details outside a clear process? Does it say who runs it and give you a way to contact them? Does it say honestly what is missing? If the answers worry you, walk away.
Here the answers are: nothing to install, no Facebook login or Facebook password, a named operator (FB Games), a ticket system and a plain list of what is closed. Hold any other server you consider against the same list, and be wary of anyone who promises free coins.
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.
Yes. The edition at cartown.fbgamesweb.com runs on an independent Car Town server kept by FB Games, with accounts of its own, free and in beta. It is not the official site of the original game, and there is nothing to install: you open it in your browser and play.
No. The Car Town server has no Facebook login and never asks for a Facebook password. You create an account with a username, a password and an optional email, and you start from zero, because progress from the Facebook game is not imported.
The server stores your money, cars and level, tied to your Car Town account, and it also holds the prices, rewards and timers. We checked that everything was still there after reloading the game in the same browser. Keep your password private, because the account is what holds your progress.
Yes, with help from support. In Car Town you ask for a recovery code using your username or your email, and the team gives you a one-time code to choose a new password. It is not automatic or instant. If you added an email, it is used only for this.
You can appeal the sanction from the website with your username and password. The FB Games ticket center also has an account or appeal category. Car Town is an independent beta, so explain clearly what happened and give the details you can.
No. Creating an account and playing Car Town is free. Donating is optional and always goes through a donation ticket, where the team delivers credits by hand and the amount is agreed inside the ticket. You can also earn credits by playing, with level-ups and the Daily Bonus.
Not necessarily. This Car Town server sets its own rules, and they are provisional during the beta. For example, a job left at your station for more than twice its duration spoils, and rewarded wins against neighbors have a daily limit. Some features, such as the High Stakes Track, are closed.
Car Town has no public chat. Neighbors can send each other messages, which we have only tried with test accounts, not with real players. The site also has no terms-of-use page or privacy policy at the moment and makes no public promise about backups. If something worries you, ask through a ticket.
Log in, open Support and start a new ticket, choosing a category and attaching a screenshot if you like (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 1 MB). The answer comes in the same ticket. In Car Town we will never ask for your password or card details in a ticket.
