Reset game with different user ID?

Can I delete the game app from my iPad and then reinstall it to start a new game with a different user ID?

It's not that simple. To start a new game you have to reset your device to factory settings and create a new gamecenter account.

So that would mean all games (not just Clash of Clans) would be erased, correct? Any other way around that?

My child set user ID with personal information and I want it reset for security reasons.

There is no other way and yes it deletes EVERYTHING from the device, so be sure to back up everything before resetting it. Reset it from the "erase all content and settings" options after clicking "reset" from the device's general settings. Then, also make sure to create a new Gamecenter ID. Otherwise, it would still try to load the same village.


Edit: If you have two devices, then the post below is your easiest route.

You can do this if you have two different devices.

We will refer the device that has your current levels and guys on as Device A. Device B doesn't even have Clash of Clans or your Game Center account logged into.

Here's how:
1. Create a new Game Center account on Device B. This will be where your new village will be.

2. Once created, install Clash of Clans from the App Store.

3. Open it up, do the tutorial, and then exit out of the app.

4. On Device A, log out of your current Game Center account (your old village one), and log into your new one created from Device B.

5. Once logged in, get on Clash of Clans on Device A, and you will get a prompt explaining that there is another village on that Game Center account.

6. Hit "Ok" to delete the village, and then type in CONFIRM in all caps. Once you do, click Confirm, and your new village will load.

Done!


The good thing with using this, is that your old village is saved onto your old Game Center account, so you don't lose it (in case you want to go back).

Hope I helped ;)

yep this does work. i use to have two accounts but i changed my ipad mini to my main one also because the iphone screen is a nightmare to design bases and it was becoming a chore to work on both games so i changed it over last night. i deleted the app, changed my gamecentre to the one i wanted to change it to, installed the coc app and it asked if i wanted to delete the existing village and replace it. this also means i'll be able to do video's now of raids and stuff with my mini... look out youtube! ;-)
