Essential Elements of Your Supercell Email
When composing your email, remember these key components:
-
Subject Line: This is your first impression. Make it clear and specific. Examples: “Account Recovery Request – Clash of Clans,” “Billing Inquiry – Brawl Stars,” or “Game Feedback – Hay Day.”
-
Greeting: Address the recipient professionally. “Dear Supercell Support Team” or “To Whom It May Concern” are good options.

-
Detailed Description: Clearly and concisely explain the issue you’re experiencing. Avoid rambling. Provide as much relevant information as possible. For example, if you’re reporting a bug, describe what you were doing when it occurred, the specific steps to reproduce it, and the resulting error.
-
Proof of Purchase (if applicable): For billing inquiries or lost purchases, attach a screenshot of your receipt from the app store (Google Play or Apple App Store). Include the order number, date of purchase, and items purchased.
-
Account Information: If you’re requesting account recovery, provide as much information as you can remember about your account, such as your Town Hall level (Clash of Clans), Trophy count (Brawl Stars), level, clan name(if you were a part of any), and any previous in-app purchases.
-
Contact Information: Provide your email address and ideally a contact number if you are willing to be contacted this way.
-
Closing: Thank them for their time and express your hope for a resolution. “Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your response.”

Tips for a Successful Email
-
Be Polite and Respectful: Even if you’re frustrated, maintain a polite and respectful tone. This increases the likelihood of a helpful response.
-
Proofread Carefully: Check your email for typos and grammatical errors. A well-written email demonstrates professionalism and attention to detail.
-
Use Attachments Wisely: Only attach relevant files, such as receipts or screenshots. Avoid sending unnecessary files that can clutter their inbox.
-
Be Patient: Supercell receives a high volume of support requests. It may take several days or even weeks to receive a response. Avoid sending multiple emails about the same issue, as this can delay the process. As the included extract stated, “Support may take up to 2-4 weeks to reply.“
-
Follow Up (if necessary): If you haven’t received a response after a reasonable amount of time (e.g., 4 weeks), you can send a polite follow-up email, referencing your original email and ticket number (if applicable).

In addition to email, consider using the in-game support feature. Go to Settings > Help & Support and then tap “Contact Us” in the upper right hand corner. This allows you to communicate directly with a support agent within the game environment, which can sometimes be faster than email.
