What Facebook games were
In the early 2010s, Facebook was the big platform for social games: villages, farms, cities and empires you played in the browser and moved forward with the help of friends, neighbors and allies.
They were free to play, with energy that refilled over time, quests, gifts between friends and optional purchases. Millions of people played titles like CityVille or Empires & Allies without ever leaving Facebook.
Why they stopped working
Many of those games were built on Flash, a technology browsers stopped supporting and whose support Adobe ended at the close of 2020. In some cases the original servers had already been shut down as well.
That is why it is so hard to find a Facebook game from that era that still works: without a server and without a compatible client, the game simply can't be opened any more.
How to play them again on FB Games
FB Games brings these classics back as browser editions: you play with no Flash, no downloads and nothing to install, on a server of our own where your progress is saved.
You don't need Facebook: you create an account of your own inside each game and play on a computer or, depending on the game, on your phone too. Playing is free.
Which Facebook game to pick
If you liked building a village and defending it, try Social Empires. If you prefer a military base with troops and tanks, go for Social Wars; if you want an island with an army and allies, Empires & Allies.
For farming and survival among zombies, Zombie Lane; for building a city, CityVille. Each page explains how the game works and what to expect.
