Playing
How do I do things?
Walk up to anyone and type. Plain text is speech. Wrap an action in asterisks (*slides him a twenty*) and the city works out what you're trying and rolls for it. On a phone, the ⚡ button lists actions and 💬 has quick lines. Tap someone in the world to act on them.
My character is gone.
Characters are saved on the device you play on, with no account. Clearing your browser or app data, switching browsers, or using a private window starts a new character. Permadeath is real: a character that dies and isn't helped up in time is gone for good.
The game says "Reconnecting…".
The city lives on our server, so DimeTown needs a connection. It reconnects on its own; if it doesn't, check your connection and reopen the game.
Is there anything to buy?
No. DimeTown is free, with no purchases and no ads. In-game money can't be bought or cashed out.
Safety
Report someone
- Tap or click them in the world, then ⚑ Report.
- Or open the chat history, tap the line, then its ⚑.
- Or, in a text thread with them, tap ⚑.
You can report what an AI-played local says the same way; a reported line is retired.
Block someone
Tap them, then Block (or Block in a text thread). You won't hear from each other and they can't act on you. Unblock from the phone: tap the gear.
Something urgent?
If anyone is in danger, contact your local emergency services first. For anything involving a child's safety, email us with "URGENT" in the subject.
