Frequently asked questions
Everything about playing Bumbly Bee, accounts, scores, ads and your data — in short answers.
Is Bumbly Bee free?
Yes. The full game is free to play in your browser, with no download, no paywall and no subscription. There is one optional one-time Support Pack if you want to support development.
Do I need an account to play?
No. The game starts straight from the homepage. Sign-in is completely optional.
Why create an account then?
An account lets your best score appear on the global top-25 leaderboard under your display name, and keeps that best score attached to you across devices.
How does the leaderboard work?
The board shows the 25 highest personal bests from signed-in players. Each player appears once, with their best score. A score that does not qualify for the top 25 is not stored.
How is my score stored?
Your personal best is stored locally on your device so it works while signed out. If you are signed in, one row holds your best score, your user id and the time you achieved it.
What data is collected?
Only what the game needs: your account identifier, the display name you sign in with, and your best score. There is no ad tracking, no advertising identifiers and no selling of data.
Can I play on mobile?
Yes — the game is built mobile-first and plays full screen in any modern mobile browser. Tap anywhere to flap.
Are there ads?
There are currently no ads in Bumbly Bee. If rewarded ads are ever added they will be strictly opt-in, offered only after a run ends, and never interrupt gameplay.
How do optional purchases work?
There is a single optional one-time Support Pack. It unlocks three cosmetic bee skins and a supporter badge, keeps the game ad-free for good, and never affects gameplay difficulty or scoring. No subscriptions, ever.
How do I delete my data?
Sign in and use the delete option on the privacy page, or email the address listed there. Deleting your account removes your leaderboard row and your stored best score. Clearing your browser storage removes the local copy on your device.
