Frequently asked questions

What is Tildown?

Tildown is a cozy city-building game for the browser. You lay out roads, zone districts for residential, commercial and industry and balance your city’s economy and traffic – relaxed and without time pressure.

Is Tildown free?

Yes. You can play Tildown for free, right in your browser – there is nothing to buy and no paid advantages. It is meant to be funded by unobtrusive ads – in the game, in the guide and in the tips, never on this home page.

Do I need a download or an account?

No, no download needed – Tildown runs right in the browser. You can start right away without an account: your progress is saved automatically, in the browser and in the cloud. You only need a free account (just a name and password, no email) if you want to play the same city on several devices.

What devices does it run on?

On smartphone, tablet and PC – anywhere a modern browser runs. On your phone one tap starts you right into the game.

Can I lose my progress?

No. Tildown saves automatically – in the browser and additionally in the cloud, even without an account. With an account you can pick up your city seamlessly on any device.

What languages is Tildown available in?

Tildown is available in six languages: German, English, French, Italian, Danish and Spanish. The game detects your language automatically – once signed in, you can switch it any time.

Is there a timer – can I lose?

No. Tildown is made for relaxing: no countdown, no game over. You build at your own pace, and pausing never hurts.

Is Tildown a multiplayer game?

Tildown is a calm single-player experience – just you and your city, with no competition or time pressure.

What makes Tildown special?

Its cozy focus: detailed isometric art, a day-and-night cycle, lively traffic with real commuters, motorways and railways for big cities, neighbouring towns that grow along with you and an economy you bring into balance – all without stress or pay-to-win.

What are landmarks?

Landmarks are ten world-famous monuments – from the Eiffel Tower to the Sydney Opera House – as a big late-game goal. Each beautifies its surroundings and raises location value there. The first costs from 50M – more in big cities – and each further one 70% more than the one before.

What are neighbouring towns?

Around your city, small towns lie in the fog, and you discover them one by one. Connect them by road or rail and they send you workers or customers and grow faster along with you. Or take them over parcel by parcel – then their centre remains as an old town in the middle of your city and draws tourists.

Do I keep earning while offline?

Yes, but within limits. If you were away for at least ten minutes, you are credited your net income for that time when you return – rounded down in five-minute steps and capped at one hour. Your city does not keep growing overnight.

Who is Tildown for?

For everyone who enjoys planning and building at their own pace. Tildown is a peaceful building game with no violence, no competition and no time pressure. No prior experience needed – tasks guide you step by step, and the guide explains the rest.

Does Tildown show ads?

Tildown is free and there is nothing to buy – it is meant to be funded by ads, though none are running yet. This home page stays ad-free. Discreet ads may appear in the guide, in the tips and in the game – in the game only at natural breaks or when you ask for one. In the EU and EEA, the UK and Switzerland you only see them after you agree in the consent dialog; if you decline, you see no ads, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. Elsewhere the ads run without a prompt. The ads are never personalised.
