You must also agree to the terms of Big Bang Empire's Privacy Policy before your character is finally created.

A list of links to the privacy policies can be found here.

After agreeing to the privacy policy, you can enter the game. You start with a tutorial.

## Tutorial

A star is born! Read the text, then you can click the OK button.

You are asked to click on the mission overview icon. This leads to the main mission locations.

The first area available to new players is Tellville. You can read the description then click OK.

An icon for a time mission is pointed out to you, a star with a clock inside it. Click on it to select a time mission.

You can read the mission description, and see the costs and rewards for completing the mission. Click START to start the mission. Clicking the X at the top right will close the mission text.

You are offered a chance to use diamonds to shorten the wait. You can save the diamonds and wait for the minute to finish the mission without using diamonds. Diamonds are hard to find in the game, as they are the premium currency used. Diamonds are available to buy with real money.

## Tips

Your best friend in early levels - Mission successes. There are so many low level successes that can be gained and with a little bit of fore knowledge, harvested.

An example of this is saving a 5 note item to be used in the sewing machine. There are success missions for using this up to 100 times. Since the cost of using the sewing machine is equal to the cost of the item to be changed, saving a 5 note item saves notes better used for skill points.

Other examples are refreshing the shop, fully gearing your character, buying an epic item from the shop. There are dozens of these low level very fast successes than can be done in a day or two.

You can find a list of successes on the Achievements page.
