Tiny Village FAQ

Is Tiny Village free?

Yes. Tiny Village is free to play in your web browser. Coins are earned in the game; there is nothing to buy with real money.

Do I need to install anything?

No. It runs in a modern browser with JavaScript and WebGL, on a computer, tablet or phone. You can also add it to your home screen.

How do I save?

The game saves your village on this device by itself as you play. In the Menu you can also keep up to three save slots, or export a save file to move it to another device.

What do you do in Tiny Village?

You chop trees, haul the logs to the ruined sauna by the lake and rebuild it. Then you split firewood, heat the stove, throw löyly on the stones and cool off in the lake. Neighbours come round for the sauna, visitors arrive by bus, and the village grows as you level up.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. Tap to walk or act, drag to pan, pinch to zoom and twist two fingers to turn the view. The game adjusts its graphics to keep running smoothly.

Does it work with a game controller?

Yes. The left stick walks, the right stick turns and zooms the camera, A acts on what is in front of you, B backs out of a menu, the d-pad picks a menu option and Start pauses.

Do the seasons change?

Yes. Each season lasts three in-game days: summer, autumn, winter, spring. The middle day of each season is a festival and the last day is Sauna Night, when everyone comes to the sauna. In winter the lake freezes and you can cut an ice hole.

Will clearing my browser data delete my village?

It can. Your village is stored in your browser on this device, so clearing site data removes it. Export a save from the Menu first if you want a backup.

Does Tiny Village use cookies or track me?

No cookies and no ads. We count visits with Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that we host ourselves, and the game sends it short error reports when something breaks (never your save or anything you type). See the privacy page for details.
