Posted by barbie baby 12 on 12/07/2008 Look at what people like to do before sending them to do it. e.g.if a person like running send them to collect food. Posted by Zmario on 05/28/2008 Unlimited Food. Earn enough tech so that you can get Lvl 3 Farming. Next drag a master farmer to the pond where the waterfall is. They will find a rare algea-eating fish. After about 10 fish the algea will be gone from the ocean and you can have unlimited food source. Posted by Emmma on 01/08/2008 Dont even try to prepare a stew from the black flower near the waterfall only! The stew will be "very harmful" and will give weakness. Posted by Queen for a day on 12/14/2007 Tip to increase your tech points at a faster rate:
If you have 5 or more children you can increase the points you accumulate faster by putting the game on pause when you see a point item pop up. You can pause the game by simply clicking the space bar. Then take all your kids and pile them on top of the item and the majority will pick up the same item for extra points! Make sure that as you place your child over the item that it reads: Collecting an item for the scientist. Then click the space bar again to unpause the game and there you go...EXTRA POINTS. Posted by Celeste on 11/22/2007 Once you finish your village continue to check on it. People will not have babies unless you make them have it. I once left my village alone for 3 months and when i came back i had gone from a population of 99 to a population of 15. Posted by CareBear on 11/12/2007 Don`t EVER let your lil bro play YOUR game if hes under 6 TRUST ME!! Posted by Itsrainingstars on 10/22/2007 The map is split into a grid of nine squares. You can skip from square to square quickly by pressing numbers 1-9. It works great for getting collectors. You can just grab a child, and quickly scan the whole island with the numbers.

Posted by Lizzie on 09/24/2007 Take a Master Parent and have Him Breed With A Master Farmer.Hopefully,Shell Have Triplets.One With Have Master Parent Skills,one will have Master Farmer Skills,and the final baby Will Be a master at Both skills.When they Grow up,Take the child that is a master at both skills and have him master 1 skill.That will complete one of the puzzles. Posted by hugbug on 08/13/2007 To completely restore any villagers health (even a "weakened" villager), make a villager grab 2 of the LIGHT PURPLE FLOWERS in the northern part of the cemetery, and one of the RED-ORANGE FLOWER (west of the ancient ruins) and TA-DA! Magic stew that completely heals your villagers!!! Posted by zooberokelly on 07/01/2007 When making stews, a good recipe is a blue, orange, and a red flower will boost your villagers health. Posted by amy spears on 06/23/2007 Brown mushrooms are worth 6 food and red mushrooms are worth 35 food Posted by jj on 06/05/2007 When you have planted crops be sure to always have someone watering them or it might take 1200 minutes for them to grow. Im not kidding! Posted by MurielMcI on 06/03/2007 Make a stew with two purple and one orange flowers - this gives your villagers complete restoration. That would have been handy earlier in the game! Posted by Leah on 04/28/2007 You can travel around the map using the numbers 1-9 on your keyboard Posted by Cheryl Allen on 03/27/2007 If you want to make babies faster just place a boy on a girl repeatedly until your population goes up one that way they don't even have to go inside. Posted by mimisouris on 03/23/2007 Puzzle 1 involves building a fire in the fire pit. Drag one of your villagers to the pile of dry wood in the southwest part of the village to gather firewood. After the wood is placed in the fire pit, take a villager to the very dry grass that can be found to the west of the coconut trees. Once the firewood and dry grass have been placed in the fire pit, drag a villager there to light the fire. You will need to replenish the firewood periodically to keep the fire from going out.
Puzzle 2 is the construction of a dam that will divert water from the stream to an area that can be used for farming. After you purchase Level 2 of Engineering Tech, drag a villager to the rocks that are in the middle of the lower portion of the stream. You will see a message, "He/she could probably build a dam here."
Puzzle 3 is a scarecrow that an adept farmer can construct in order to protect the crops from the birds. Drag an adept or master farmer to the twisted pieces of wood and vines that are located in the northern portion of the village. The scarecrow requires two trips to complete, so make sure that you finish the construction, or your crops will not be protected.
Puzzle 4 is the fashioning of special cutting tools that will be needed to cut away vegetation in some parts of the village. After purchasing Level 2 of Exploration Tech, drag a master scientist to the northern part of the village where he will see something among the rocks near the twisted pieces of wood and vines. Your scientist will need to make a second trip to finish the tools, so take him to the twisted wood and vines to get the necessary materials.
Puzzle 5 is completed when your villagers learn mastery of six special plants located in various parts of the village. Drag a villager to each of them and watch for the message that each has been mastered. The plants are (beginning in the northwest part of the village and moving clockwise): the odd-looking plant immediately to the left of the very dry grass, the blue flower between the thorns and the rocks, the small lavender flower at the northern edge of the graveyard, the black flowers near the waterfall, the bright reddish flowers south of the dam site, and the large orange-red flower at the south edge of the village.
Puzzle 6 is completed when you have sufficiently trained a villager to become master in three skills. That villager will become an Esteemed Elder, and a totem will be created to commemorate their new status in the village.
Puzzle 7 is the elimination of the algae in the ocean that was caused by over fishing. After purchasing Level 3 of Farming Tech, take a master farmer or master scientist to the pond, where they will collect algae-eating fish that they can use to repopulate the ocean. Once sufficient fish have been placed in the ocean, the algae will once again be under control and the villagers will have unrestricted fishing.
Puzzle 8 is the removal of the vines that cover the wall on the east side of the village. After you purchase Level 3 of Culture Tech and have completed Puzzle 4, drag a villager to the vine-covered wall and they will begin cutting away the vines.
Puzzle 9 is the ability to make various stews for your villagers. To make stew, you will need to have purchased Level 2 of Exploration Tech, retrieved the cauldron from the wood pile, mastered at least one of the special plants, and started a fire in the fire pit. The steps to make a stew are: 1) Drop a villager on the cauldron to put the cauldron on the fire 2) Drop a villager on the cauldron again, and he or she will go get water for the stew 3) Drop a villager on any of the mastered plants, and the villager will gather herbs for the stew. Each stew requires a total of 3 herbs, in any combination. 4) Drop a villager on the cauldron again, and he or she will go get food to add to the stew. When the stew is complete, the villager will move the cauldron off the fire. Some stews are good, some are bad, and some make your villagers do interesting things. Experiment and have fun with them. You can also find different "recipe books" that have been created for the game that contain all of the stew combinations.
Puzzle 10 requires Level 3 of both Engineering Tech and Exploration Tech. Drag a villager to the ancient covered floor in the southeast part of the village and they will begin uncovering the site.
Puzzle 11 is the construction of a hospital. After you purchase both Level 3 of Engineering Tech and Medicine Tech, a foundation will appear that your villagers can work on.
Puzzle 12 is the construction of a sewing hut, which will allow you to change the clothing that your villagers are wearing. After you purchase Level 2 of Culture Tech, a foundation will appear that your villagers can work on.
Puzzles 13-16 are the pieces of the Gong of Wonder. The four pieces can be retrieved in the following ways:
A team of 3 Master Builders can open the crate on the beach, where one of the pieces has been hidden.
After purchasing Level 2 of Exploration, your villagers can clear the thorns blocking access to the gong encasement, which will also reveal a piece of the gong.
Prepare a magic stew that will allow one of your villagers to dive for the sunken gong piece in the pond. The herbs needed for that magic stew are: one of the black flower near the waterfall and two of the red-orange flower on the south side of the village. The pictures of the required herbs can be seen in the drawings on the wall once the vines have been removed.
After finishing Puzzles 6 and 10, drop a totem in the center of the uncovered mosaic to reveal a piece of the gong. Once the gong is assembled you can experiment with the effects that it has on your village. You can bang the gong once every 24 hours.

Posted by F Bogdan on 08/20/2007 If you are running low on food you can do this simple thing. Put the game on pause and sweep the island for mushrooms. Mushrooms and items will stil appear but the time of the game will not pass since its in pause :). Just drag&drop a kid on the mushroom then unpause the game just enough for the kid to bring it to the food basket. Then you pause the game again and start once more sweeping. You can do this as long as you want and your villagers wont starve since the game is ... paused. Also goes with item so your tech points can also grow without the time of game evolving. Posted by Edwyn on 06/05/2007 To gather extra food from coconut trees or crops wait till the last 2 or 4 remaining food then send everyone to gather it then you get extra food. Posted by Anna on 04/20/2007 This game is based on real-time so instead of getting lazy waiting, changing the time on you computer will do the deed. But be careful, changing it too fast will cause problems such as starvation Posted by tigerbaby76 on 04/10/2007 The game continues when you are not playing based on your time clock on your computer. In order to speed things up a bit, leave the game, then change the time on your computer ahead to several minutes or several hours or even days to speed up the game and collect food/tech points faster. Posted by jigglejiggle4001 on 03/30/2007 Once you have mastered the first puzzle put a child in the fire. this will cause them to be sick. take a trainee doctor or better and put them on the child. this will cause the doctor to embrace the child will then gain the ranks of a apprentice parent.
