Frequently Asked Questions
The Basics
Q: Do I have to sign in with a Google account? A: No, it’s not mandatory. On Android devices, a Google account is just a new, highly recommended way of logging in (similar to a Red’s Club membership) to keep your data safe.
Q: Can I link both Red’s Club and my Google account? A: Yes! Red’s Club membership comes with permanent extra perks that do not clash with Google. We recommend linking both for maximum benefits.
Q: What is a Google Play Games Profile? A: Think of it as your personal "gaming passport" for Android. It connects directly to your existing Google account to act as a secure, central hub for your games. With a profile, you get a unique "Gamer Name," an avatar, and access to our new in-game Achievements! (Note: If you play other Android games, you likely already have a Games Profile attached to your account.)
Q: What are Achievements? A: Google Play Games Achievements are optional challenges and milestones that track your accomplishments while playing. They are only available if you are signed in with a Google account and a Google Play Games Profile.
Saving Your Progress & Devices
Q: Will I lose my progress after the update? A: No! You will simply be asked to sign in with a Google account so your current progress can sync with the cloud.
Q: What happens if I skip linking? A: Your game will still run normally. However, by linking your account, your progress can be automatically restored if you ever accidentally delete the app or get a new device.
Q: I got a new phone. How do I restore my progress? A: Simply install the game, open it, and sign in with the same Google account you used to log in on your old phone. Your progress will load automatically.
Q: Can I play on multiple devices? A: Yes! Signing in with the same Google account lets you seamlessly continue playing across multiple Android devices.
Managing Accounts & Troubleshooting
Q: I have multiple Google accounts on my phone. Which one will the game use? A: The game will use the Google Play Games profile currently active on your device. If you want to switch accounts, you need to change your profile directly in the Google Play Games app.
Q: Can I use multiple gaming accounts? A: Gaming accounts cannot be merged, so it’s best to choose one primary account and link all your progress there.
Q: I keep getting a pop-up asking me to "Choose Account" every time I log in. How do I stop it? A: This happens because the Google account you are currently signed into is different from the account linked to your game progress.
To fix this: You need to switch to a Google Play Games Profile that is not already linked to another game account, or create a brand new Google Play Games Profile. The game cannot automatically unlink these accounts for you, as this prevents accidental data loss.
Q: How do I create a new Google Play Games Profile? A: In case you don't already have a Games Profile (or if you need to create a new one for troubleshooting purposes) follow these steps:
Navigate to your device Settings > Scroll down and tap "Google" > Tap "All services" > Tap "Play Games" > Select the Google Account (email) you want to use > Tap "Create a profile" and follow the prompts to edit your avatar and name.
Q: Can I manually unlink my Google account from the game? A: No. For safety reasons, you cannot manually unlink an account inside the game once it is connected. If you absolutely need to unlink an account, please contact Player Support.
