How exactly do I move my account to a new phone and do I need to download magic puzzle quest first?

    Is it to the same kind of phone? (Android or iOS) And have you linked your mtgpq  account to a Facebook account?

    They are both android, and I don't like Facebook

    Linking your account to a dummy FB account would make transferring easier and give a little more resilience against unexpected login bugs, so it might be worth going a little out of the way to do, but if not, you might have to contact support with your UID (under settings) and some other information in order to get them to help you with the transfer, as I don't think it's possible outside of those two methods.

    Yeah, I'd download it first @ShawnP1. It will definitely be easiest if you link it to a dummy Facebook account (just make one with a random name if you don't actually want to use Facebook.) Then when you download and open mtgpq on your new phone, instead of clicking on the button that starts the training, there should be a different button that says something like, "log on using Facebook.' 

    If you REALLY don't want to use Facebook under any circumstance, like others have mentioned, you'll want to download the app, send an email to customer service and they'll ask for your accounts UID, user name and all of the info about your new phone. When I did it, they took about 2 weeks to transfer it for me.

    My phone died. Game was backed up via Google play not facebook. Am I not going to be able to get my game back?
