Finding out when you started playing Clash of Clans can be a fun trip down memory lane. Whether you're curious about your Clashiversary or need the date for account recovery, there are a few ways to get this information.

To find your Clash of Clans account creation date, the easiest and most accurate methods involve checking your in-game achievements, looking for a welcome email, or directly contacting Supercell Support through the game's Help & Support section to request your personal data.

How to Discover Your Clash of Clans Start Date

It's pretty cool to see how long you've been building your village and battling rival clans. Here are the main ways you can uncover that important date:

1. Check Your In-Game Achievements

Most players earn their very first achievement on the same day they start playing the game. This could be something simple like upgrading your Gold Storage to Level 2 or unlocking Archers in the Barracks.

• For iOS users: Open the Game Center app (if you still have it, for older iOS versions) or check your in-game achievements list in Clash of Clans. Scroll through to find the earliest dated achievement.
• For Android users: Open the Google Play Games app. Go to your profile and look at your Clash of Clans achievements. Find the one with the earliest date.

I remember trying this myself a while back! I was convinced I started in 2013, but when I dug through my achievements, I saw my "Bigger Coffers" (upgrade Gold Storage to Level 2) achievement was dated late 2012. It was a small surprise, but cool to know I was an even earlier player than I thought!

2. Dig Through Your Emails for the Original Welcome Message

When you first set up your Clash of Clans account, especially if you linked it to a Supercell ID, Google Play, or Apple ID, you likely received a confirmation or welcome email. Search your email inboxes (and even your spam folder!) for messages from Supercell, Google Play, or Apple with keywords like "Clash of Clans," "welcome," or "account created." The date of this email should give you a very accurate creation date.

3. Request Your Personal Data Through Supercell Support

This is often the most reliable method, as Supercell holds all your account data. You can directly ask them for your account creation date.

Here's how to do it:

• Open Clash of Clans and tap the "Settings" gear icon.
• Go to "Help and Support."
• Tap "Account" (or look for a "Contact Us" or message icon).
• Select "Access or Delete Your Data" and then "Request Personal Data."
• Follow the prompts. Supercell will usually send an email to your Supercell ID-linked email address with a summary of your personal data, which includes the creation date.

A friend of mine actually used this method when they couldn't remember which of their old emails was tied to their primary Clash of Clans account. It took a couple of back-and-forths with support to verify their identity, but once they did, Supercell provided all the details, including the exact day they first joined the game. It really saved them a headache!

4. Check Your App Store Purchase History

If you first downloaded Clash of Clans years ago, you might be able to find the original download date in your device's app store purchase history.

• For iOS users: Go to your iTunes or App Store account, view your purchase history, and scroll back to find Clash of Clans. This will show the date you first downloaded the app.
• For Android users: Open the Google Play Store app, go to "Account," then "Purchase History." You might find the initial download date there.

Knowing your account's age can be useful, whether it's for bragging rights with friends, celebrating your game anniversary, or for helping with account recovery if you ever lose access. Just be mindful when requesting personal data that Supercell takes security seriously, especially if you have ever shared your account, as this can sometimes cause delays in the process.

If you're looking to make some cool in-app purchases in Clash of Clans, like buying gems to speed up your village, remember you can always use Playstorm to redeem Apple or Google Play gift cards. It's a great way to get more out of your gaming!
