This page gets you from nothing to playing L.O.S City, our revival of Zynga's city-building game.

1. Make a L.O.S account#

One L.O.S account plays every L.O.S game. If you already play L.O.S Farms or another L.O.S game, you're ready: skip to step 2.

Otherwise, make one on L.O.S Farms with Discord (one click) or with email (pick a name and password, then click the link we email you). It's free.

2. Get the L.O.S launcher#

CityVille was a Flash game, and modern browsers can't run Flash, so it plays in the L.O.S launcher, which has Flash built in. Download it from the Download page: there are versions for Windows, Linux and Mac.

• Mac: the launcher isn't signed by Apple. The first time, right-click it and choose Open (on macOS 15 and newer: System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway).
• Updates: the launcher offers its own updates when you open it. Say yes: new versions bring fixes and art.

3. Play#

Click Sign in in the launcher (your browser opens so you can pick Discord or email), choose L.O.S City in the games hub and press Play. Your progress is saved to your L.O.S account, so it's there on any computer.

1. Samantha shows you around: follow her goals down the left of the screen. They pay coins, XP and items.
2. Build houses for population, businesses to earn coins from your citizens, and community buildings (like the Town Hall) to raise your population limit.
3. Ship goods from your farms and harbour to stock your businesses.
4. Visit your neighbours from the bar at the bottom: every other L.O.S City player is your neighbour.

4. This website#

Log In at the top of city.losgames.xyz signs you in through L.O.S Farms and brings you straight back. Then you can post in the forums, edit this wiki and set up your profile. See This Website: Profiles, Themes & Badges.

5. Join the Discord#

The L.O.S Games Discord is home to every L.O.S game. Pick L.O.S City in #get-roles to see its chat, help and bug report channels. Type /city there to play the L.O.S City arcade: quick jobs, a mini-game, a quiz and a daily bonus that go straight into your save.
