All you need is a browser with the awesome Unity Web Player installed, and a web connection of course. You can create a character, become a citizen of virtual Quahog, and play and interact with your friends and favourite show characters.

We’re opening the doors to Quahog today and want to make sure the onslaught of “Family Guy” fans worldwide can enter the game without trampling all over each other, so we’ve devised the Keys to Quahog program. Essentially, it means we’re queuing you up and bringing you into the game in waves in order to ensure the best possible user experience. Here are the details:

Each “Key” will provide a registered player with the time and date they can enter the Family Guy Online open beta. Once players receive their “Keys,” they can enter the open beta any time on or after the date and time listed on the “Key.”

Family Guy Online registered players will be the first to receive their “Key.” As new players register for the game, they will receive an email with the approximate wait time for their “Key.” Access is on a first come basis, so the players who have already registered will receive their Keys first, then, as new players register, they will be placed in the Keys queue. The program will begin today and continue for a short period after the open beta goes live with regularly scheduled releases of “Keys” to increase the number of fans in the game.

We will do everything we can to keep the queue moving fast and appreciate your patience while we open our gates.
