Car Town is a car and garage game that began on Facebook, made by Cie Games: you buy cars, customize them, put them to work and race your neighbors. The edition at cartown.fbgamesweb.com is based on that original and runs in the browser, free, with no Flash, no Facebook and nothing to install. It is an independent beta, so some parts of the original are still missing. This page explains what the game is, how this edition relates to the Facebook original, what you can do in it today and what is not there yet.
Want to see it for yourself? Open Car Town, create a free account of your own and take your first car for a spin. It is a beta, so expect a few rough edges.
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.
Car Town is a game about cars and the garage that looks after them. You begin with a small lot beside a street, buy cars from a shop, paint and upgrade them, put them to work for customers and race against your neighbors. Experience points raise your level, and every level opens more cars, parts and objects.
The look is typical of Facebook games from 2010 to 2014: cartoon drawings, bright colors and chubby cars seen from an isometric angle. It is a casual game. You click, wait for jobs to finish, customize and race in a reflex minigame, and you never steer a car yourself.
Car Town is an original game by Cie Games that people played inside Facebook. This edition is different: an independent project, FB Games, built an edition based on the original game that runs directly in the browser at cartown.fbgamesweb.com, with a server and Car Town accounts of its own. It is not the official site, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cie Games, Facebook or Meta.
Its data comes from a late version of the original game.
You don't need Facebook. There is no Facebook login, and progress from the Facebook game is not imported: everyone creates a new account and starts fresh.
Customers line up in front of your garage in cars of their own. You click one to learn what they need, start the job at your station, and come back when it is finished to collect. With the coins you earn, you buy cars in Buy Cars, customize them in an editor and decorate the lot from Edit Garage.
Your cars can work too. Road Trip, Car Show and Deliver Pizza are activities you start from a car's panel, and Friendly Racing puts the car against a neighbor in a timing test. Missions give you goals to follow, and the Daily Bonus rewards you for logging in on consecutive days.
Buying cars, painting them and winning races all earn experience, and experience raises your level.
The catalog holds more than 700 cars, and more than 350 of them are on sale in the shop, in five classes. On sale there are also more than 2,000 parts and more than 500 objects to decorate the garage with. Your plot of land grows in 11 steps, from 10 x 10 to 40 x 40, and your garage value climbs through ten titles, from Flimsy to Exalted.
There are more than 40 missions and 44 car collections to work through. Two neighbors, Rusty and Axel, come with the game, and a panel lets you add other players as neighbors.
This is a beta, and we would rather say so plainly. Parts of the original game are missing and bugs can show up. Some windows are still empty placeholders: one tab of the GPS window shows nothing, and one icon of the Glove Box appears greyed out. Some cars in the catalog still lack finished artwork, although the ones on sale have it.
Racing is limited to friendly races for now, and the racing guide lists what is closed. The interface comes in English and Spanish and in no other language. The neighbor features exist but have been checked with automated tests, not with two real players, and phones have not been tested at all.
If you hit a bug, open a support ticket.
It suits people who remember the Facebook games of the 2010s, who like to pick the exact color and parts of a car, and who enjoy slow progress made of small goals: a mission here, a new color there.
If you want a driving game with steering and traffic, this is not it. Racing here tests your reaction time and your timing, and a session can be as short as starting a job, running one race while it works and coming back to collect.
To start right away, the how-to-play guide takes you from sign-up to your first race. The cars and customization guide covers the shop, the tabs of the editor, free paint and garage decoration, and the racing guide explains the lights, the gear changes and the green line.
The neighbors and garage guide explains the Neighbors panel and the Glove Box, the FAQ answers quick questions about accounts, languages and progress, and the no-Flash guide covers what your browser needs and what to try if the game does not load.
Three steps and you're in.

Car Town is a car and garage game by Cie Games that began on Facebook. You buy cars, customize them, put them to work in your garage, race your neighbors in friendly reflex races and level up to unlock more. This edition runs in the browser at cartown.fbgamesweb.com, free and in beta.
It began as one. Car Town was played inside Facebook, but this edition does not use it: you make an account of your own and play in the browser. There is no Facebook login, nothing asks for a Facebook password, and progress from the Facebook game is not imported.
Cie Games made the original Car Town. The browser edition at cartown.fbgamesweb.com is made by FB Games, an independent project that is not affiliated with or endorsed by Cie Games, Facebook or Meta. Because it is a different edition, it is neither the original game nor its official site.
In this browser edition, which is based on the original game. Open cartown.fbgamesweb.com, create a free account and play, with nothing to install. It is a beta, so some parts of the original are missing, and you start with a fresh account because progress from the Facebook version of Car Town is not imported.
In Car Town you buy and sell cars, paint them any color, change their wheels, tires, body and other parts, run jobs at your station, race neighbors in friendly races, follow missions and decorate your garage. Adding other players as neighbors is possible too, though that side is still lightly tested.
The Car Town catalog has more than 700 cars, and more than 350 are on sale in the shop, in five classes. Some catalog cars still lack finished artwork, but the ones you can buy have it. With more than 2,000 parts on sale, cars of the same model can look quite different.
Partly. Car Town is first a garage game about buying, customizing and working with cars. Its races are reflex minigames: you wait on yellow, press the green button when it turns green and shift gears three times near a green line. You do not steer, and the highest score wins.
Yes. Making an account and playing Car Town here costs nothing, and there is no download. You only need a browser and a username and password of your own; email is optional. It is an independent beta, so keep in mind that parts of the original game are still missing.
The game is in English and Spanish, and there is no interface in other languages. We played it in Chrome on a desktop or laptop. Its fixed-size stage is built for computer screens, so we have not tested phones and suggest a computer with a mouse.
Parts of the original Car Town are missing, and bugs can appear. Some windows are empty placeholders, some catalog cars lack finished artwork, racing is limited to friendly races, and neighbor features have not been tried by two real players. You can report problems by opening a support ticket.
