Teams

**Teams** are groups of Homescapers willing to communicate and aid each other. Team members can send each other lives and participate in team activities.

Once you reach level 36, tap the icon in the bottom left corner to open the Team window. From there, you can join an existing team or create one yourself. There are two types of teams: open, which anyone can join, and closed, which require the leader's approval. A team can have up to 30 members.

**IMPORTANT**:

You should have active WiFi to access teams.

## How can I join or create a team?

### Creating a Team

You can only create a team if you are not on another team:

1. Open the team window and head to "Create team".
2. Enter your team name. This field is mandatory. You can't change the name afterward, so **be sure it is satisfactory to you**!
3. Enter your team description, choose the badge (Each badge has a select logo (i.e cup) and color (i.e orange (yellow is not included)) that cannot be altered), and select the type of team (open/closed).
4. Set the required level for entry. Players below that level cannot join your team. This number can't be above your own level.
5. Tap the Create button. Creating a team costs 500 .

## Joining a Team

Choose one of the following ways to join a team:

* Go to "Join a team" or "Ratings→Top Teams" and tap any team.
* Tap the Search button in "Join a team" or "Top Teams", enter a team name, and tap one of the teams, if any, in the search results.
* Go to "Friends", tap a friend's name, and then select the team they are on.
* In addition, you can quickly join any team with a single button. Choose **Quick join**, and we will choose a suitable team that you can join and continue the game 😉

A window will open displaying the team's info. If you wish to join that team, tap the Join button. If the team is closed, your request will be sent to the team leader.

## Use

How to request lives from team chat?

* Team members can request lives from and send lives to each other:
* To make a request, open Chat and tap Request. All team members will see it and can send you lives. You can only send lives once in a single request, and you get 5 coins and Weekly help points for your team score. This score resets every week.

## Team Leader

The team leader is whoever created the team. They can assign a deputy, change the team's settings (description, required level, badge, type) and kick players.

### Deputy Leader

A deputy leader is a player who has been designated by the leader as the second most important player in the team. They can change the settings (team description, required level, badge and type but can’t assign other deputies) and remove players from the team if necessary apart from a team leader.

**Important**:

* If a team leader hasn’t been playing for more than 14 days, the leadership is transferred to the player who joined the team next after the leader and is active (or to the deputy if there is such a player in the team).

* If the leader leaves the team, whoever joined the team first (or the deputy if there is such a player in the team) becomes the next leader.

## Can I invite a friend to join my team?

You can invite friends to join your team. To do so, go to "Friends", tap the friend you want to invite, and tap, "Invite to my team." Your friend will see an invitation in their Inbox tab and can choose to accept or reject it. You can resend an invitation to the same friend only after a week later.

If the "Invite to my team" button doesn't appear, either the selected friend is already on your team or they haven't reached the minimum required level to join teams.

Please note that you can invite a maximum of ten friends per day.

## Team Competitions

In these limited events, you can compete with other teams by playing Levels to earn huge rewards.

### Team Chest

Players get a crown for every level they beat. All the crowns earned by the members of a team are added together. Open a chest after collecting the necessary number of crowns. If the team reaches the goal, all team members get a reward from the chest.

**NOTE:**

If you change teams, leave your current team, or get kicked from it, you will not earn the reward. Additionaly, earned crowns will not be transferred.

### Team Tournament

The objective is for your team to place in the top five and receive a huge reward! You need to earn crowns by beating levels. Each win you get one crown. The crowns earned by members of a team are added together.
