How to Save Your Game Progress in Travel Town

After countless hours of merging and building, the last thing you want is to lose your progress. The good news? You probably don't have to worry.

One of the biggest anxieties for any mobile gamer is the fear of losing their progress. Whether you're getting a new phone, needing to reinstall an app, or just worried about a glitch, the thought of your beautifully restored town vanishing into thin air is a nightmare. Luckily, Travel Town has a robust and automatic system in place to protect your hard work. This guide will explain exactly how it works and what you need to do to ensure your game is always safe.

Is There a "Save" Button in Travel Town?

Let's get the most important question out of the way first: No, there is no manual "save" button in Travel Town. You don't need one! The game is designed to save your progress automatically and continuously as you play. Every time you merge an item, complete a task, or spend a coin, the game is recording that action in the background. When you close the app and open it again, it will load right back to where you left off.

How Your Progress is Stored: Local and Cloud Saves

Your game is actually saved in two places at once for maximum security. Understanding this is key to knowing your data is safe.

Local Save: A copy of your game data is stored directly on your phone or tablet's internal memory. This is what allows the game to load instantly when you're playing.
Cloud Save: This is the most important one. Your game progress is also automatically backed up to the cloud. This cloud backup is linked to the primary account on your device.

Which Cloud Service is Used?

The cloud service used to back up your Travel Town account depends on the type of device you have:

For Apple devices (iPhone, iPad): Your game progress is linked to your iCloud account and your Apple Game Center profile.
For Android devices: Your game progress is linked to your Google Play Games account.

As long as you are signed into the correct iCloud or Google Play account on your device, Travel Town will automatically find your cloud save and keep it updated. For more technical details on this, you can check our Account & Devices FAQs.

How to Transfer Your Progress to a New Phone

This is where the magic of cloud saves really shines. If you get a new phone or tablet, restoring your Travel Town progress is incredibly simple. Just follow these steps:

Set up your new device: During the initial setup of your new phone, make sure you sign in with the exact same Apple ID or Google Account that you used on your old device. This is the most critical step.
Download Travel Town: Go to the App Store or Google Play Store and install Travel Town on your new device.
Launch the Game: Open the game. It will automatically check your Apple or Google account for an existing cloud save.
Load Your Progress: The game should detect your old progress and prompt you to load it. Confirm that you want to restore your saved game, and just like that, your town, level, coins, and diamonds will all be there, safe and sound.

So rest easy! There's no complex procedure or hidden button for saving your game. By simply playing while logged into your device's main account, Travel Town handles all the hard work of saving for you, letting you focus on the fun part: merging!
