Updated 02/25/2023 – Current Level: 40
A fan-made un-official guide as I play the game.
*There are many small changes in the game with each major game update. I will try and find and fix things as I go, but there will likely be some inconsistencies until I can find them*
**I also thank everyone for reading this and your support, but I’d like to continue completing the merge chains on my own (otherwise the desire for me to play will cease to exist). Thank you for your offers to help.**

Tips and Tricks
- For easier navigation on this site, use the Find (ctrl + F) feature on your browser
- If you are running out of tasks to complete, focus on finishing out merge chains. For example: I suddenly opened up the Romantic Spot area when I finished the 11th merge in the Love Story cascade, despite not having increased in player level.
- It is worth it to get higher merges as opposed to keeping several smaller merge levels when mining for items because higher merge levels yield: Higher level items, increased taps, and lesser wait times.
- Try to merge brown and blue chests before opening them for much better rewards
- Merging the entire chain for piggy banks significantly increases yield
- It’s generally a good idea to keep the higher levels of merge chains in storage for easy task fulfillment in the future
Areas
- Rufus Park
- The Maze – Why are there so many car tires and tennis balls here?
- Romantic Spot – This seems like a romantic spot. What happened here?
- Tennis Court (Complete The Maze to unlock) – The tennis court is in such bad shape! How on earth did it end up like this?
- Cemetery – Boulton Family cemetery. What secrets does it hold inside?
- Scavenger Hunt – What lies at the end?
- Maintenance Room – Shhh…IS there…someone in here?
- Conservatory – I wonder what’s inside…overgrown tomatoes?
- Lighthouse – Is someone living there?
