Where to find your username in the game

Your username in Cookie Run: Kingdom appears in the top-left corner of the main screen, just below your player level. It's the name you chose when you first started the game. If you're logged in through a guest account, you'll see "Guest" instead of a username — that means you haven't linked the game to an account yet.

The quickest way to see your username is to open Cookie Run: Kingdom and look at the screen after the loading bar finishes. You don't need to go into any menus. If you can't spot it when ready, tap the profile icon (usually a small circle with your character or avatar) in the top-left area of the screen, and your username will appear at the top of the profile window that opens.

If you're playing on a phone or tablet and the text is small, zoom in on that corner of the screen to read it clearly. Some players also take a screenshot of the main screen and look at it on a larger device if they're having trouble reading the text.

Key Takeaways

  • Your username displays in the top-left corner of the main game screen, below your level number.
  • Tapping the profile icon in that same corner opens a window showing your full username and other account details.
  • If you see "Guest" instead of a username, your game is not linked to a permanent account.
  • Taking a screenshot and viewing it on a larger screen can help if the text is hard to read on your device.

What to do if you see "Guest" instead of a username

When Cookie Run: Kingdom first launches, you can play as a guest without creating an account. This is temporary — if you uninstall the game or clear your phone's data, you'll lose all your progress. Your "Guest" status also means you don't have a permanent username yet.

To create a real username and protect your progress, you need to link your game to an account. Open the game, tap the settings icon (usually a gear symbol), and look for an option to link or connect your account. Cookie Run: Kingdom typically offers links to Google Play, Apple ID, or Netmarble's own account system, depending on which device you're using.

Once you link to one of these accounts, you'll be asked to choose a username. That username will then appear in the top-left corner instead of "Guest," and your game progress will be saved to that account permanently.

Changing your username

Cookie Run: Kingdom allows you to change your username, but the process and any costs depend on how long you've had the account. New accounts can usually change their username once for free within the first few days. After that, changing your username typically costs in-game currency or real money.

To change your username, open settings and look for a "Change Nickname" or "Edit Profile" option. Tap it, type your new username, and follow the prompts. The game will tell you whether the change is free or what it will cost before you confirm. Your new username will appear in the top-left corner as soon as the change is saved.

Keep in mind that other players will see your new username in multiplayer modes and on leaderboards, so choose something you're comfortable with. The change usually takes effect when ready, though it may take a few minutes to update across all game modes.

Finding your username if you're logged into multiple accounts

If you play Cookie Run: Kingdom on more than one device or have multiple accounts on the same device, each account will have its own username. The username you see depends on which account is currently logged in.

To check which account you're using, open the game and look at the username in the top-left corner. If you want to switch to a different account, go to settings and look for a "Logout" or "Switch Account" option. After you log out, you can sign in with a different Google account, Apple ID, or Netmarble account, and you'll see that account's username instead.

Write down or take a screenshot of each username if you have multiple accounts, so you can keep track of which is which. This is especially helpful if you play on both a phone and a tablet.

Why you might not recognize your own username

Some players create a username quickly when starting the game and forget what they chose. If you're looking at your username and don't remember picking it, that's normal — many people rush through the account setup screen.

Your username is permanent unless you pay to change it, so if you don't like it, you have two choices: keep it as is, or use the in-game currency or real money to change it through the settings menu. There's no way to recover or reset to a previous username, so think carefully before paying to change it.

If you're trying to find your username to share it with a friend or to look yourself up on a leaderboard, just tap your profile icon and write down exactly what you see. Some usernames include numbers or special characters that are straightforward to misread, so copying it directly from the screen is more reliable than trying to remember it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have the same username as another player?

No. Cookie Run: Kingdom requires each username to be unique across all players. If you try to create or change to a username that someone else already has, the game will reject it and ask you to choose a different one. This is why some usernames include numbers — players add them to claim a name that's already taken.

What if I forgot my username and can't log back in?

If you're logged out and can't remember your username, you don't need it to log back in. Instead, log in using the account you linked the game to — your Google account, Apple ID, or Netmarble account. Once you're logged in, your username will appear in the top-left corner again.

Does my username show up when other players see me in multiplayer?

Yes. Your username appears to other players in multiplayer modes, on leaderboards, and when they visit your kingdom. This is why some players choose usernames they're comfortable sharing. You can change your username anytime through settings if you want a different name displayed to others.

Can I use spaces or special characters in my username?

This depends on Cookie Run: Kingdom's current rules, which can change with updates. Most games allow letters and numbers but restrict spaces and symbols. When you create or change your username, the game will tell you which characters are allowed. If you try to use a character that isn't permitted, the game will show an error message.
