Where is my save stored?

Will I lose my save if I clear browser data?
Yes. If you clear your browser storage, use private browsing, switch browsers, or move to another device, your save will not carry over.
Can I play on mobile?
Parcel Game is designed primarily for desktop. Some mobile devices may load it, but mobile is not the intended experience and parts of the interface may be awkward or unsupported.
I think I’ve broken my parcel line. What do I do?
That usually means your current setup needs rerouting, extra capacity, or a way to handle parcels that your system cannot process efficiently yet. Check your routing, make sure parcels are reaching the correct destination, and look for places where lines are backing up.
Why are parcels getting stuck or rejected?
This usually happens when:
- a route is incomplete
- the wrong parcel type is being sent somewhere
- a part of the system is overloaded
- your layout is not ready for a newer type of parcel yet
If the line jams, simplify the route and fix the bottleneck first.
Why did a new parcel type appear?
New parcel types are part of progression. As you expand, the game introduces extra complexity so you need to adapt your layout and routing logic.
Is there a tutorial?
Yes. Parcel Game includes onboarding/tutorial improvements to help first-time players get started more easily. Read the guide at the top of the game page, it will walk you through gameplay.
I’m not sure what to do next. Is that normal?
Yes. Parcel Game is built around gradual system discovery and iteration. If you feel stuck, the best approach is usually to improve flow, reduce bottlenecks, expand capacity, and test cleaner routing.
Is Parcel Game still being updated?
Yes. The game is actively being improved, with fixes and quality-of-life changes based on player feedback.
