🏝️📝 Orders up, Islanders! Welcome to the fantastic world of the Merge mini-game in Family Island!
This delightful game is all about creating items and serving up orders to get some goodies. Each fulfilled order will earn you progress points and get you one step closer to the grand prize! 🎁🏆✨
Let's breakdown how to make it all happen!
🔀 How to play
This game is all about using your item Producers to create items, merging identical items to create new ones, and fulfill orders! The goal is to fill orders using the correct merged items.
🗒️ Completing an order and getting points
- You'll need to spend Energy on the event Island to earn Merge Capsules for the mini game. Each Merge Capsule will grant you 1 Producer tap.
- Look for the items with a yellow lightning bolt ⚡ right next to them on the board. These are your item Producers! Tap the Producers to generate more items — each Producer generates a different set of items.
*The images in this article are an illustrative example only and do not intend to exactly match in-game visuals.
- Drag and merge items together to create new ones on your board. Keep merging items until you've created the one you need for an order (orders will be on the left side of the screen).
- If you spot an item locked with a spider web, merge it with a similar item to set it free. 🕸️
- The board can get crowded fast when you're busy producing items, so check out our tips below on how to make space if you need more!
- Once you've got all of the items in the order, just tap on the order to send them in! You'll instantly collect progress points. 🥳
- Keep track of your orders on the left side of the screen, and your overall event progress from the bar at the top right of the screen.
🧹 Making Space on the Board
Space on the board is limited and can fill up quickly when you're busy creating items. The best way to clean up your board is by sending in orders! But if you run out of room, you can free up some spots on the board or you can delete an item you don't need right now. And don't worry if you accidentally delete the wrong item — you can also get it back!
Unlocking spots:
Some areas on the board will be temporarily blocked and can be unlocked as your progress. You can break the blocks and unlock more room by merging items right next to these tiles.
- Only green tiles without numbers can be unlocked by merging an item next to them. 🟩
- Green tiles with a number will be available to unlock once you reach that level in the mini game. 🔓
Using the Delete or Undo buttons:
- Select the item you want to delete from the board.
- A pop-up will appear on the right-side of the screen with info about that specific item. The delete button is on the top-left.
- Tap the trash can icon 🗑️ and watch the magic happen! The delete button will instantly turn into an undo icon ↩️ so that you can reverse it and bring the item back.
❗Keep in mind that once you tap something else on the screen, you won't be able to use the Undo anymore. Also, Undos will only bring back the item you just deleted, not your merge capsules.
🕵️ Finding a Specific Item
Stuck on finding a specific item? Don't worry, we've got you covered!
- Tap on the item from your order list, and a pop-up will appear on the right side of the screen.
- Tap on the ℹ️ on the right side of the pop-up. Here, you'll find the Producer that can generate this item and the items you need to merge to get it. You'll see the full set of items that can be produced from this Producer, and the exact order they have to be merged in order to create an item.
💡 Islander insight: Some items will transform into Secondary Producers once they reach the final stage of the merge chain.
- These special Producers create unique items for your orders!
- Secondary Producers can't be merged since they've already reached their final form.
- They'll generate a limited number of items before turning back to their previous form — meaning you'll need to merge it again if you want it to transform back into a Producer.
✨ Special Tips
- Focus on combining items to fill orders and only tap the Producers when you need more. 🔀
- Keep your eye on the timer and make the most out of this fun mini game before it ends! ⏱️
