Welcome back to our delightful Animal Sanctuary! 🦠The newest star has arrived – and it’s making waves! 🌊
Introducing the latest addition to the Animal Sanctuary feature, where players can now save and care for seals, decorate their habitats, and earn even more sweet rewards! Dive into the fun and make a splash with your seal companions!
WHERE IS IT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
The icon for Animal Sanctuary has a permanent place right on your home screen, just to the left of the FREE COINS icon, and will be there whenever you want to check in.
When you first log in, you’ll be introduced to a delightful Mini-Tiki named Steph, who asks for your help in rebuilding the Animal Sanctuary, which has fallen into great disrepair.
Steph will be your Sanctuary Guide throughout your initial experience, walking you through the steps towards adopting, naming, and feeding your first seal, and teach you how to clean up and decorate your seal’s habitat.
FIRST THINGS FIRST: YOU’LL NEED PAWS FOR THE CAUSE!
In order to care for your seal, you’ll need a currency called Paws, which look like, well, paws:
And one of the very first things Steph will do is to supply you with your first batch of Paws!
With these, you’ll be able to feed, play with, clean and decorate your seal’s habitat. Thanks, Steph!
Once you’ve been guided on using your first round of Paws, you’ll be given the simple instructions on how to earn Paws:
That’s right – Paws will be awarded by earning NEW Gold Stars when you win a game. This means you’ll have to play games where you haven’t earned all the Gold Stars available yet. For every Gold Star earned, you’ll be rewarded with 5 Paws. If you earn all three Gold Stars, you’ll earn 15 Paws!
MEET YOUR NEW SANCTUARY FRIEND!
You’ve already fed this cutie, now you get to meet them, name them and explore their habitat!
We’re going to name this one something kind of cute, that also signifies that we want to have even MORE seals to take care of:
CARING FOR YOUR SEAL!
Animals aren’t that different than people. Well, okay, actually they are quite a bit different, but they do share some of the same qualities. Like us, they need to eat, they want their surroundings to be tidy, and they want to feel loved and appreciated. That’s where YOU come in!
Look for the NEXT STEP icon, in the lower right corner, to continue your journey:
After you’ve admired how cute your new seal is, you’ll learn the basics of taking care of your seal. After you feed them, you’ll want to clear away the old, overgrown bushes, then you’ll probably need to earn some more Paws:
Remember – while you CAN play and win levels on which you’ve only earned one or two stars, you’re better off playing NEW levels so that you can earn as many Gold Stars as possible to generate the most Paws! They add up pretty quickly, so play a few games, and you’ll be able to come back and decorate!
In the image below, you’ll see two arrows. The top arrow shows you what zone you’re in, and how far along you are before you reach the next zone. The lower arrow shows the decor you have just given your happy seal:
Next, you can add some plants, and then play with your seal! Soon, you’ll finish Zone 1, and unlock Zone 2. From there, you’ll continue to tidy up the habitat, decorate it, feed your seal, play with your seal, and reap some rewards before you discover your NEXT seal!
As you play and decorate, you’ll find that the Habitat is always evolving! Over time you will continuously discover NEW animal friends you’ll be able to invite into your Animal Sanctuary!
