Helpful Hints

Match-3 levels can be normal, hard or super-hard. There are also challenge levels which give you better rewards but can only be beaten in one-try. Most normal levels are easy and have only 3-4 colored pieces making it much easier to create power ups and complete it faster. Hard, Super-hard and Challenge levels usually offers more moves but has 4-5 colored pieces in the field.

## General

* Make use of the seasonal event for hoarding unlimited lives/ unlimited boosters and use it at the right time you are free.
* While the  modifier is on, make use of the hoarded unlimited boosters to complete more levels.
* Avoiding the skip prompt makes the game register more points for events
* All races (boat/airship/archaeological) start at 6:00am (UTC), all bonus events or side events start at 7:00a.m (UTC) and all competitions (except fiery sprint) start at 8:00am (UTC)
* Make sure to collect lives from teammates every four hours
* Exchange lives with friends through facebook

## Tips

This is a list with some tips that can help beat levels

1. Try a level out before already using boosters. Most of the time you won't need them, so use them only when you got stuck for a while.
2. Try using an in-game booster only when you are certain you will win after using it. If you still lose, the booster goes to waste.
3. Try to make matches in the bottom of the field. This creates a better probability for making power ups
4. Try to use as many boosters in the game board as possible. They will fill up your rainbow blast.
5. Try to make more explosions at once as it charges the rainbow blast faster.
6. Two rainbow blasts combined will clear the whole field. Using the Rainbow Blast + Rainbow Blast and Dynamite makes it much easier to start a level.
7. If you are searching gnomes, you can see through thin grass if they are beneath.
8. Always collect butterflies / ladybugs first since they appear slowly.
9. Fireworks and Sealed Fireworks can be used to collect/remove maximum items from the field.
10. Use generators to their maximum extent as soon as the level starts.
11. Elements like growing lily, honey, ivy, weeds, affects the field when consecutive matches are not made. Make sure to focus on a particular part of the field so that it can be cleared faster
12. Higher level players can use **Energy Spheres** to remove maximum number of obstacles in certain levels.
13. You can spin the Lucky Spin Wheel to try and win lives or boosters.
14. You will get 5 full lives when you start a "New Day". It is best to have zero lives before you accept the "New Day" option.

## Resource Modifier

With the recent update in the game, now hard levels and super-hard/challenge levels multiplies the reward by three and five times respectively for competitions, tournaments, cascade events and renovation events.

### Main Events

The **Resource Modifier** can be used to full advantage during events like Herbarium, and Campfire Stories.

* Berries (for Campfire Stories) and Apples (for Bumper Crop) are abundantly present in almost every level so it is much simpler to win the grand prize/group goal.
* However this isn't the case for Leaves and Flowers (for Herbarium). There are many levels which have either apples or flowers or none of the two. Here it is always better to avoid the skip prompt after completing a level it as the game registers the pieces collected without skipping the end. This creates a better chance for making more apples or flowers.
* It is always better to avoid the skip prompt during the Fiery Sprint, Fireworks Festival or Electric Show, as it registers the powers ups auto-generated after completing the levels

### Side Events

The **Resource Modifier** works only with renovation and redesign events. But it can be best used for renovation events. If you havent collected any renovation tickets in the level you can avoid the skip prompt after completing a level to make use of collecting the remaining tickets.
