Why has Odd Socks changed on Facebook?
Facebook is closing its old web games platform at the end of September 2026, so Odd Socks on Facebook now runs as an Instant Game. Everyone on Facebook is now being moved across. If you still see the old version, refresh the page (F5 on most computers) or close the game and open it again.
Your progress, team and friends come with you automatically – you don’t need to do anything. It is the same game, just a newer version.
If you play on a phone or tablet and use Facebook to log in, nothing changes for you.
On a computer, Odd Socks on Facebook uses the wide layout, as it always did. On a phone or tablet it uses the same upright layout as the phone app.
If your game has started again at level 1, or something is missing, please contact us from the Support page before playing on, so we can help find your original game.
Can I play in a browser without Facebook?
Yes. Go to oddsocksgame.com on your computer and sign in with your email address – you don’t need a Facebook account.
New to Odd Socks? Click Login with Email, then Register New User.
Already playing on a phone or tablet? Sign in with the email address on your game and all your progress will be there. If you have never set a password – for example because you have always logged in with Facebook – click Login with Email, then Forgotten your password?, and we’ll email you a link to choose one.
If it says no account has that email address, open the game on your phone, go to the Support page and tell us, and we’ll help you get in.
Videos and the shop aren’t available on the web version yet.
What’s new since the old Facebook version?
If you played on Facebook before the move, you had version 6.1. The new version brings everything added to the phone app since then, plus a few things just for Facebook.
- Teams: find a team in one tap – we’ll suggest one with room for you. You can invite a friend straight into your team from your friends list, and team admins can tidy up by removing members who have stopped playing.
- Team chat shows your team’s name, where your team stands in the Teams Tournament, and when each message was sent. Press Return to send.
- The Fairy Sock Mother: on a phone or tablet her page is now a scrolling list, with separate tabs for pairs and sets. On a computer it looks as it always did. On Facebook she no longer hides while you have a gift waiting.
- Falling leaves: now and then a leaf drifts down. Tap it for coins or Sock Cash.
- Gifts and bonuses arrive more reliably, and a friend who has had a gift waiting a while can be sent another.
- On a computer the game uses the wide layout, and you can scroll lists with the mouse wheel or a touchpad.
Why is the game so small on my computer?
The wide layout is back for computers. If you still see a narrow, phone-shaped game, refresh the page (F5 on most computers) or close the game and open it again, and it will pick up the update.
The game picks its layout when it starts, from the size of its window. If your browser window is narrow, make it wider and then refresh the page.
To make the game bigger still, make your browser full screen: press F11 (on some laptops Fn + F11), or Control-Command-F on a Mac. Press it again to go back.
If the keys don’t do anything, use your browser’s menu instead: click the three dots (Chrome or Edge) or the three lines (Firefox) at the top right, then click the double-arrow button next to Zoom. To go back, move the pointer to the top of the screen and use the button that appears.
How do I scroll through a list on a computer?
Put the pointer over the list and roll the mouse wheel, or slide two fingers on a laptop touchpad. You can also click on the list and drag it up or down.
What is the number on some players’ pictures?
It shows how many times that player has completed the whole game – all ten rounds – and started again from the beginning. Tap or click the player to see it written out, for example “Completed 2 times”.
How do I look in my friends’ bins?
Click the drawer full of socks at the bottom left of the screen, just above the chat bar. It opens your friends list showing what’s in each friend’s bin, and you can click a sock to take it.
Where has the Fairy Sock Mother gone?
The Fairy Sock Mother only visits players who are in a team, and after you make a wish she stays away for a day.
She now comes before a gift from a friend. On Facebook both appear together; on a phone or tablet she takes the front of the screen, and a waiting gift is behind her until you make your wish or close her page.
Why can’t I see my gift?
Someone has sent you a gift, but the Fairy Sock Mother comes first. Make your wish, or close her page, and the gift will be there. If your washing line is full, make a pair or discard a sock first so there is room for it.
Until you open that gift, friends can’t send you another one.
How do I turn off the music?
Click Menu, then Settings, and switch off Play music. You can switch off the sound effects there too.
Why can’t I watch videos?
The videos come from outside advertising companies rather than from us. They decide how many are available, which can vary from one player to another, so there may not always be one ready. Please try again later – reinstalling or updating the game won’t help.
Why can’t I buy anything on Facebook?
The shop is not available in the new Facebook version yet. We are working on it.
Which version of the game am I on?
The version number is shown on the loading screen when the game starts, and on the Help page. On Facebook you always have the latest version automatically.
Why has my game started again at level 1?
On a phone or tablet, the most likely reason is that you are no longer logged in. Click on Menu, then Account, and login with the same service that you previously used (Apple, Google, Facebook or Email).
On Facebook you don’t need to log in – the game knows who you are. If you see level 1 there, please contact us from the Support page before playing on, so we can help find your original game.
I cannot login using Facebook on iOS
If Facebook login keeps returning you to the login screen, please update the game to the latest version from the App Store. You don’t need to allow tracking to log in with Facebook.
Why can I see friends from other rounds, or socks from other rounds?
You can now play with friends and join teams from any round.
Socks from other rounds are automatically converted to your round when you take them from a bin or receive them as a gift.
Why are you asking for my email address?
If you login to the game using Facebook, we would like to store your email address (or link to Google Play or Apple) so that you have an alternative way to access your game.
If you can’t access your game in future because you can’t get into your Facebook account, or if Facebook remove access to Odd Socks, you can play using one of these methods instead.
What does “Google ID (or Apple ID) is already in use” mean?
You probably saw this because you were asked to link your Facebook game to your mobile account. The error means that your mobile account is already linked to another Odd Socks game.
If you don’t want the other game you can remove it as follows:
- Click Menu, then Account, then Sign Out of your Facebook account
- Sign in with Google (or Apple)
- Check the game progress and make sure it is a game you no longer want to keep
- Go to Menu, Account, Delete Account
- Close the game, run it again, and click Menu, Account, Login with Facebook
This time you should be able to link the game successfully.
How do I remove all of my personal data from your servers?
Click on Menu, then Account. Then click the Delete Account button.
This will delete all of your information from our servers immediately, including all your progress. This cannot be undone.
Can I start again from the beginning?
Yes – see the question above on removing your personal data.
What about my privacy?
We store and use only the information that we need to allow you to login to your game. This will be one or more of: your email address, Google ID, Apple ID and Facebook ID.
If you login with email, then your password is encrypted and even we can’t see it.
Why won’t the game load in my browser?
Use one of the following browsers: Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, and please make sure your browser is updated.
Close any unnecessary tabs. Failing that, close the browser and start again. If it still isn’t working, try closing some other applications on your computer, or even reboot.
On Facebook, you can also try the Facebook website in a browser instead of the Facebook app.
