Prehistoric Academy

The Prehistoric Academy is a premium account feature that allows you to unlock daily gifts, extra perks and bonuses for your zoo, when you activate it with ammonites. These include experience bonuses for various enclosure types and activities in your zoo, increases to money earned from shops, daily gifts of treasure chest pieces, and later even bonuses to various aspects of breeding.

When you hit level 10, Master Yu, the director of the Prehistoric Academy will introduce himself and present you the first few tasks. You can complete regular tasks to earn Mastery Points (depicted as scrolls in quest rewards) towards a Zoo Mastery Level. Mastery Levels will increase the number and types of perks you can unlock for your zoo when you pay for a Prehistoric Academy membership. Without a membership, you can still earn points and increase your Mastery level, but you won't enjoy any of the benefits.

## Types of memberships

There are three types of memberships, bronze, silver and gold. As you level up you can unlock the benefits of each membership by purchasing the appropriate membership level. With a Bronze membership you get the benefits of Bronze levels, with a Silver membership you get the benefits of bronze and silver levels and with a Gold membership you get the benefits of bronze, silver and gold levels.

However, if you have not unlocked any silver benefits, you cannot purchase a silver membership, the same goes for gold.

## Stamps

When extending a membership you can acquire stamps, these stamps will reward you with an exclusive animal once you have 10 stamps. If your subscription expired and you buy a new subscription you will not get stamps! Easy way around that is to buy 1 day and then extend with a subscription yielding stamps.

Per subscription level there is an exclusive animal you can choose when your stamp card is full, you can also pick the animal from subscriptions below your subscription. f.e. If you have a gold subscription you can pick the animal from the silver subscription.

## Levels

You can complete regular tasks to earn Mastery Points (depicted as scrolls in quest rewards) towards a Zoo Mastery Level. The first few levels require less scrolls and the amount of scrolls needed increases as you level up. With an activated Membership you will also get an option to Increase Level to the next level. Depending on how many scrolls you have already collected progressing to the next level will cost between 170-5 diamonds. However, jumping to the next level doesn’t excuse you from completing the remainder of task of the skipped level.

## Tasks

Master Yu will give you tasks every 6 hours. The tasks are to maintain your zoo, like clean enclosures, feed animals, pick up trash, water plants, collect XP pins etc.

You should be able to finish the tasks easily by playing the game and doing what you normally would be doing. After completion a timer will appear below Master Yu counting down until your new set of tasks.

## Tips

A few tips to get the most out of the Prehistoric Academy:

* When completing tasks, click on the icons if you have trouble completing it.
* When wanting to purchase a subscription always purchase 1 day of Bronze and then extend to the subscription you actually want. This way you get the biggest discount and stamps. You only get stamps when extending!
* When switching between memberships the active membership is used as a discount on your new membership. Be sure not to waste diamonds and upgrade to a membership where the full discount can be used. In the picture you can see the active membership will have a discount of 135 diamonds and upgrading to 1 day of gold membership will waste a lot of diamonds.
