County Story: Merge & Cooking

This title is offered on Swagbucks for $365.50 and $414.23 on MyPoints. The terms now state a 30-day time limit. When I completed the offer at a lower reward level ($231.67), I had a 45-day limit.

Swagbucks Terms
MyPoints Terms

A standard merging game, County Story is food-themed. Your character has just had her wedding fall through and has decided to restore her family’s cafe/restaurant.

The gameplay is restricted to a single game board. Events have screens and do not affect objects on the main board. Events will supply additional resources such as Energy, Food, Gold, or Gems.

Tip: put Benny’s dog house away in the fridge and don’t bother merging this item. The dog house task and subsequent tasks are intended to slow down the player’s progress through the game. The rewards provided for completing these tasks are very small and they do not improve over time.

You will advance through the game by accruing experience points from completed customer orders. No other task in the game will provide experience points. Gold coins are awarded for completing orders. The coins are then used to complete upgrades to the cafe.

Completing a full bar of tasks will move the story to the next day. Your player level will eventually decouple from the game day to some degree. Some tasks will allow you to choose decorations for your cafe. The building continues to grow in size throughout gameplay.

I purchased the monthly membership to get daily bonuses. I also purchased the VIP access, but I did encounter issues with that which I mentioned later.

Most items can be merged with the final tier displaying a yellow star. For chests, the higher the tier the better the reward upon opening. I would suggest saving your chests in the storage until you have enough to merge to the max tier before opening.

Each day you may claim an Energy chest and a Daily Gift (S). If you save the Daily Gift, it can be merged into either a Medium (2 days) or Large (4 days). The rewards from the Large chest are quite ample and in my opinion worth the wait.

I found the storage area to be a bit too small to be useful given all the objects that you have on the board. I would suggest spending the Gems to unlock 2 extra slots.

Warning: the VIP Fridge can only be unlocked for a limited period. The slots are only valid for the currently active seasonal event. They will go away regardless of how recently you purchased the VIP Pass. If you buy it on the last day, then you will have less than 24 hours of VIP Fridge access.

Tips:

  • Completed Paint sets can be freed from bubbles by watching an ad
  • Once a day you may collect up to 12 Energy in the Event Center menu
  • 20 Energy points may be claimed by watching an ad every 10 minutes on alternating days. On alternate days, you can only watch ads to open bubbles. This resets at midnight.
  • If you watch an ad for Energy, you cannot open a bubble for another 10 minutes and vice versa.

  • Must be installing Seaside Escape for the first time to receive SB.
  • Must complete events within 60 days of installing to receive SB.
  • In-app purchases and upgrades are available.
  • Award will pend for 10 days

Strategy

This title is a Merging game from the same developers as Gossip Harbor. It is similar to Alices Adventure.

There are rotating Events every week. A photo scrapbook will provide rewards for completed collections.

How you manage your playing space will be an important factor to consider. We will not have an Inventory function to manage space, and only five producers can be left active at a time.

We have been given a healthy 60 days to complete this game and the rewards have been structured without requiring purchases. Keep in mind though that reaching level 40 will only net us 10 USD.

The true value of this offer will be going beyond this point.

Leveling

Your Dock has seven levels and is the main entryway to the island map. This is where you will interact primarily.

Completing orders for goods from producers will earn you EXP to raise your level.

Game Guide: Mecha Domination

For centuries, this world has been plagued by wars and massacres, until you, a valiant commander emerge.”

Got a new Build & Battle title available through Swagbucks for $61.25 in total rewards. (This is a low reward. Best wait until it doubles or triples in value).

We do have an advantage though. This title is actually from the same developer as Puzzles and Conquest, Survival, and Chaos.

Level 30 is the end game and we are not likely to reach that stage within the 30-day time limit on this offer. The level 26 stage may be possible, but will likely require the spending objectives to be completed.

It is a play on the post-apocalyptic, State of Survival style games but instead of zombies, you have these Dinosaurs with robotic parts. It looks like someone in development really liked Transformers: Beast Wars.

There are two purchases required for the full prize. The current valuation for this offer is low, and it would probably be better to wait for a better reward tier list. The final two goals are $30 and the purchases are $20, so you will only get $11.25 from this offer if you don’t spend money on it.

So we know what to expect to some degree.

Warning!

There are AI bots actively trying to scam players into stopping this game. This is discussed on both the Facebook and Discord channels for the game. Some of the Alliance Leaders you encounter in the game will be bots.

If your Alliance leader says you need to add them on Discord to stay in the Alliance, this is a scam. The bot will send you a faked screenshot of server maintenance taking 15 days to complete. It will then try to get you to play a different game. The bot uses AI and may seem like a real person.

Strategy

We have limited time to reach our goal, so we will want to stock up on resources and speed boosts. You can find these items in the Shop and other menus throughout the game.

Resources can be gathered by your troops on the World Map or by attacking other players. It may be a good idea to get some 8-hr Shields for the Killing event that usually takes place in these games.

You can spend Diamonds (premium currency) to buy resources for cheap in the VIP shop. I saved my first initial 8,000 Diamonds and used them to unlock the Advanced Supply Pack. This will pay me back my Diamonds over a week and I get various other items as a bonus.

I used maybe 4,000 Diamonds to upgrade my VIP rank to 2 for the extra economic bonuses and access to additional VIP Shop items. I was able to buy some VIP Points in the Alliance Shop.

Unfortunately, you don’t get VIP time extension items without paying money or Diamonds. There is a free boost, so you will have maybe 3 days of VIP.

I would suggest saving up to get the 30 days of VIP.

EffectCost (Diamonds)

7d VIP3,600

VIP Activation Costs

2nd Builder: To unlock the second building queue you can either make a purchase in the shop for 4.99 USD or you can spend Diamonds to “rent” the extra slot for 48 hours for 1,200 Diamonds.

Alliances

As with any multiplayer game, you will benefit from joining an Alliance and taking part in group activities. You can get some construction timer discounts from fellow members as well as free items from everyone completing daily tasks. In addition, there are many Alliance-based events to take part in.

The Alliance Glory tab will include some prizes that become available as your members complete their goals. Gold buttons on your taskbar (bottom-right) are shortcuts to Alliance functions such as Help, Building, and Battles.

Player

In addition to setting your Avatar image, you can change your character model. This is purely ascetic and will not affect gameplay. In the Settings panel, you can disable notifications, enter game codes, and access your game achievements.

Stamina: Your bar will display as full at 200 points of Stamina. Each day you can get a refill of 80 points from the Airship building. There is no maximum or cap on the amount of Stamina you can accrue. The highest amount of Stamina I reached was 620 points.

Commander Gear: At HQ level 22 you gain access to crafting and equipping gear for your commander. Six pieces of gear can be made and equipped. They boost the stats of your combat troops.

Heroes

Unlike the other games in this genre, we do not have people as heroes, instead we get mecha dinosaurs. The game uses a merging mechanic to upgrade the dinos to higher tiers (colors). You will mostly capture dinosaurs on the world map and then use the copies to upgrade your main unit.

Dinosaurs have both Exploratory and Military bonuses that will impact your city and armies. These can be upgraded with Skill Manuals.

Capturing is always a success up through level 7 beasts, but starting at level 8 you will need to use a “net” item with a varying success rate. These can be collected by completing your Daily Tasks. Level 8 and higher beasts are likely to be Blue or Purple rarity.

Tip: The Sickleclaw has a Passive ability that increases construction speed. At max rank, you get 15% off. You will want to hunt the Sickleclaw to get extra copies for upgrading.

Pyodra can increase Research speed by a maximum of 20%.

Caesar is only available in Advanced Hunt or through purchases. You may find Caesar on the World Map, however capturing it requires a Beast Lab at level 20.

Upgrading Dinosaurs

The process is pretty straightforward. Your dinosaurs start as Green and you will need three (3) additional green copies to upgrade the dino to Blue. Once you hit Blue you just need an extra Blue to make a Purple. To upgrade a Purple, you need four (4) more Purple copies.

This will get you your first Orange dinosaur. My first orange beast was the Dune Crawler. An early game event gives you a bunch of Purple copies.

CORRECTION: After 9 Orange pips, the cost increases to 2 Orange copies per pip, for a total cost of 15 Orange copies to reach Red.

BaseUpgradeQuick Alter

2x Blue1x Purple10x Blue = Orange
5x Purple1x Orange45x Purple = Orange (1* T3)
15x Orange1x Red45x Orange = Red2

Each completed Star (*) represents an increase in the dinosaur’s stats.

If you consistently complete your daily capture task, you can likely upgrade 1-2 dinosaurs up to Red during this offer. But it is not necessary to complete the deal.

HQ Upgrade Requirements

I skipped the Tutorial levels for the following chart. I forgot to screenshot some levels. My building time numbers may differ some from yours based on timer reductions from bonuses.

A player in chat lamented that the upgrade time from HQ 22 to 23 was almost 8 days!

Note: I was not scrolling down on the upgrade screen, so the list is missing the Oil amounts for levels 12 through 19.

My construction Speed bonuses increased over time, and I received a 50% boost at level 22. This took 3.5 days off the timer.

HQ Leveling Requirements (up to Level 23)
  • The Headquarters Level-Up Pack will display on-screen after finishing the HQ 12 upgrade. If you close the window, you can reopen it by tapping the countdown timer on the right side of the screen just below the Events button.
  • The Deluxe First Top-Up is priced at $19.99, but we only get back $15. I decided not to buy it.

Town Layout

I found another player using this layout, so I did my best to copy the design. It is much easier to upgrade the resource buildings with this layout.

Airship

You can collect 80 Stamina points from the Airship facility each day. Additionally, the facility will provide 5-minute speedups periodically throughout the day. I placed it near the center of my base to make it easier to select and see.

Each day you may also claim a Secret Crate bonus by entering the correct code. The Airship should give you the code in the dialog, but this is not always noticed. Your best option is to check the World Chat log to find the code or ask other players in your Alliance.

Codes

You can find codes for the game both on the official Facebook page and their Discord server. There are links to both in-game.

To enter them just tap on your Avatar and then go to Settings and “Gift Code.”

If you are playing on iOS, you will need to use their code redemption website since the Apple Store no longer allows apps to include code redemption options in-game.

The following codes were active when I started playing (July 2024).

If you have access to either Facebook or Discord you should make sure you enter all of their contests on those platforms. You will need your UID which can be found in your settings.

The rewards can be useful when completing offers. I know for Sea of Conquest the Facebook rewards came in really handy near the end of that offer.

Bugs

There are a few UI bugs, most notably that the Military and Exploratory categories are backward. You’ll also notice the chat window does not separate the text, so you will see World Chat and Alliance Chat on the same screen.

Final Result

I was partway through the upgrade to HQ level 23 when the offer expired. I did not make any purchases. I earned a total of 11.25 USD for my time. Not really worth the 30 days I spent working on the offer but perhaps you will do better or maybe they will raise the reward.

Goblins Wood: Lumber Tycoon

Updated 8/03/25: New offer terms and goal achievements. The reward increased to 4,046 USD, and the time limit is extended to 60 days.

Update August: An Update to the guide is in progress.

We have another Tycoon offer from the same developer* as Gold and Goblins.

Are you ready for a new addictive mining simulator game – Goblins Wood: Lumber Tycoon?

Link to offer: https://www.swagbucks.com/games/apps/1163704/goblins-wood?rb=69384823

Terms

Join this exciting idle merge adventure and enjoy a lot of challenging levels! Reach the listed levels to earn up to 404,620 SB!*

We are given 60 days to clear 100 levels in this Tycoon game. Reaching level 35 is worth $12.24 or $14.24 if you complete the purchase goal.

The rewards have been balanced since the last update to this offer. The level 90 goal was altered to be $200 instead of $266. The difference in value has been distributed among the lesser goals.

  • Must be installing Goblins Wood for the first time to receive SB.
  • Must complete events within 60 days of installing to receive SB.
  • In-app purchases and upgrades are available.
  • The award will pend for 10 days

My Experience: I played in 2024 when the reward was less than 100 dollars.

I only reached level 35, which took 25 days. I had caught the flu early on in the offer and was bedridden to the point where I could not even play games.

Whether or not the lost 5 days would have been enough to reach the next goal is difficult to say. I earned $14.50, including a reimbursed purchase. Not really worth the time invested.

With the new goals and values, I think this offer is worth attempting.


Strategy

I think a key point to these Tycoon-type games is how you set up your workers for the periods when you will be idling or offline.

Generally, when you are getting ready for bed, this is a good time to set your Goblins to work on a particularly stubborn tree. Somewhere in the 6-10 hour range.

Any other blocks of your day where you will not have ready access to your goblin workforce should also be delineated in the same manner.

Events

During regular gameplay, when you have run into a slowdown or a lull in lumber clearance rates, this is a good time to switch over to whichever Event map is currently active.

As with the Gold variety of Goblins, Lumber also runs Event maps concurrently with your main field for this offer. You should definitely take advantage of these events for the rewards they provide.

I would suggest saving your premium currency to use exclusively in Events.

The higher your ranking in the event, the greater the rewards from the Leaderboard, which can be substantial, and more than you would get from spending on the main map.

Ads

I know they are irritating, but you need to watch them, every single one of them. You can set your phone down or walk away if you need to, but run those ads.

The boosts from watching ads can include big chunks of resources or even fully leveled Goblin workers. This will make a huge difference in the speed of clearing a map.

We have 90 maps to clear, so any boost will be of benefit in the long run.

Tips

As far as I know, there are no codes available in this game.

I have been unable to locate a Facebook page for the game or any other social media presence other than a YouTube video they released.

There is already a popular woodcraft business called “Goblin Wood” on Facebook.


*

It’s a different company; however, these games are often licensed out to publishers on a contract basis.

This is why you often see mobile games getting re-released by different businesses in the App Store.

Epic Summoners

I don’t think this game is offered on Swagbucks anymore. It was one of the first game offers I tried back in 2020 when I first started using the platform.

I don’t recall enough about the game to write a guide. I do remember it used merging mechanics similar to AFK Arena. I liked the character designs. Chibi is cute.

  • SB will appear as Pending for 7 days after completing each event.
  • Must be installing the app for the first time.
  • Must unlock each Epoch within 30 days of install.
  • Award will pend for 7 days

No Guide

I played until Epoch 11, but when I went to check my progress on the Swagbucks website, I found that the offer had not been tracked properly.

The ‘Install’ didn’t get tracked so I had to give up on this offer.

I had sent the offer to my phone as a text, which usually works, but when I tried to play the game it said it needed a Facebook account to connect to. I didn’t have one and had to make an account.

I think this is where the tracking was lost.

There was a ‘guest’ login method I could have used, in hindsight, I should have used that method instead.

It’s just some bad luck is all. I wish you prosperity in completing this offer.

Bermuda Adventures – iOS Only

Harvesting, cooking, trading, and more in the new Bermuda Adventures island game! Unlock the listed stages to earn Up to 5,125 SB.*

Direct link to offer: https://www.swagbucks.com/offer?oid=23320&rb=69384823

The time limit on this offer is now 30 days. Previously, it was a 14-day offer to reach level 25.

This title is from the same publisher as Roger That!, Solitaire Cruise, and Clockmaker. This offer has been, at times, available on both iOS and Android.

Gameplay

Bermuda Adventures is a farming game where you harvest basic resource items and craft them into processed goods. These goods can be used to build village properties or be traded to NPCs for experience points.

As with other games of this variety, you will gain experience points for completing missions on the main island. Side islands are mostly a distraction and can consume your energy. While some side islands can provide extra bonuses, I think the time spent unlocking them could be better used working on the main island.

It may be better to collect the free energy available at the start of a side island and then use it on the main island instead.

Be wary of overproducing goods. It is very easy to run out of storage space. Clearing rocks and trees is a good source of resources and will help to provide farming space for your village.

Gaining Experience

Other than disposing of unwanted items, there are three methods to gain experience points to level up your village.

First, you can complete the missions in the side panel on the left of the screen. These missions will populate as you gain levels and unlock new production options. There will also be some missions that are added as you increase in level.

Secondly, by completing the Task board missions at the tipi in the woods to the east of your village, you may gain experience points. These missions mostly require you to trade your excess resources.

The third and final method involves completing missions from the air balloon captain, who will occasionally pass through your village.

Village Facilities

Production facilities are unlocked as you increase in level. Initially, you will collect Wood, Bark, Clay, and Stone, which can be used to construct the home base. Upon reaching level 2, you get access to the Grill and can begin cooking food to restore Energy.

Tips

Stone and Clay resources are limited in the initial map area, however, there should be enough to complete most tasks unless you overspend.

The small red berry bushes can be harvested to gain Energy.

Small grasses, berries, and shrubs will regrow as you play, providing an unlimited supply of Onions, Bark, and Energy.

Keys can be used to open Chests, which could contain Energy or Unique items.

Military

Don’t try to research at all of your military buildings as this will limit your advancement. Just focus on two unit types to specialize in. I chose Cavalry and Priests based on intel from a veteran player.

The reimbursed purchases on this offer do not cover the entire cost of the spending, except for the $19.99 Purchase. I usually avoid spending on these types of offers, however, it may become necessary if you are experiencing difficulty leveling up.

There is an offer to purchase Keys after you reach level 10. This purchase is $30 and will count for the above-listed purchase requirements of $1.99, $19.99, and $29.99.

I have confirmed that all purchases are cumulative, so if you miss or skip the keys offer, you can still buy $30 worth of small boosts to clear the spending goals.

You will only receive experience points and level up your map by completing the missions on the main island.

Side tasks and temporary islands do not provide experience on your main map.

Tips


  • It is always best to merge 5x, not 3x.
  • Complete the limited-time worlds. The bonuses help out a lot. Use Coins to get more Energy here, not in the regular world.
  • Always complete your Daily Quest. When you have the “Spend 7 Gems” one, do two 5-minute timers.
  • Always merge to the highest Tier. Avoid the temptation to collect Coins, Keys, and Gems.
  • Check the game often, as your Energy replenishes fast, but will not exceed your cap.

Events

I would strongly advise against spending any Gold or Diamonds on any of the temporary Event islands. These events are best used as a means of getting extra Chests for your main map and supplementing your Coin/Diamond reserves.

Event islands will typically include a number of treasure troves with lots of coins and coin materials available for merging. You should clear these first, before completing any side objectives on event islands.

Functions and Facilities

Keys: These get used for unlocking additional land areas on the map. One of the early missions you receive will ask you to merge to the highest level Key.

After finishing the mission, it is a good idea to go to a Purple Key before consuming them.

Chests: If you can manage to wait (patience), it’s best to merge these chests in groups of 5 until you reach the largest size Chest.

You will receive higher-tier items and more of everything from a bug chest.

Coins: Making food provides Keys and Coin materials. Most weekly missions will include merging to the largest coin. The Event islands are also a good source of Coins. Use your coins to purchase the 80 Energy in the Shop.

Diamonds: I recall there was one mission to merge the big gem. It is up to you to decide where to stop merging for this premium currency. I found myself stopping at the Red Diamonds most often.

Character Houses

The first inhabitant you unlock is the White Rabbit. Character houses can process food items that dispense Keys and Coin materials. After finishing the construction, you can make the basic foods. Further upgrades will unlock better foods. Higher-tier food will provide improved Keys and Coins.

The initial resources used to build a house (wood, teapots, or iron) will also be used to complete any further upgrades to the building. Once all possible upgrades have been completed, the associated resource will be removed from the map.

Resources

Wood: These are used to build and upgrade the home of the White Rabbit.

Teapots: The Mad Hatter’s home is built with teapots, and upgrades to his Hat Shop also use the Teapots.

Lumber: The Chesire Cat’s house is built with Bells and then upgraded using Lumber.

Fans: The Dutchess’ house is built using Fans.

Iron: The Iron mine is your source of Cauldrons.

Log

The first purchase, “Newbie Special $1.99,” went pending for me without buying anything.

Day 1

On my first day, I made it to level 8. I think I could have gotten further, but I did not realize that the Keys could be merged into bigger Keys.

This meant that I was unable to unlock some of the larger areas of the map. I also began running out of empty map tiles pretty quickly.

Day 2

The game really slowed down on my second day. I went ahead and purchased the Piggy Bank ($4.99), and then later that day, I purchased the Newbie Special ($1.99). I reached level 9 on my second day of play.

I did not realize that there was an area on the map that could be unlocked with Gems. Bambi’s section can be unlocked for 799 Gems, so it would be a good idea to save up for this when you first start playing.

Day 3

Sometimes, on the morning of my third day, I reached level 10.

I merged the Madhatter, but I still needed to reach his house. I didn’t unlock the path until just yesterday, so I still have a lot of obstacles to clear.

The path to the Madhatter’s house is just past the Teapots. At level 10, you start getting Cheshire Cat items. Space is very much at a premium.

I did not get to the highest tier of the Key before I used it. I was worried that I would waste too much time without clearing the Teapots. If you are just starting out, I would definitely suggest getting the highest-tier Key unlocked early on.

Day 4

Finally reached level 11 this morning, well, maybe the middle of last night. I’ve been really grinding on this game far into my evenings. In fact, I almost missed a test on Sunday. That would have been embarrassing.

I am getting close to unlocking the Cheshire Cat, and I almost have enough teapots to make the second upgrade on the Madhatter house.

On the static Fairy Tale island, I still have a long way to go. I am a few merges away from being able to unlock the scarecrow. I am nowhere near getting the Three Little Pigs or the Tin Man done.

I have been working on clearing one of the Event islands, I think it is Rapunzel. It’s not the fairy tale island; this is one of the temporary islands. I am combining iguanas now to try to unlock an outfit. This map does generate quite a bit of Gold, but energy is very hard to come by, and most tiles cost 30 points to clear.

I was able to place one of the teapots to upgrade the facility. It makes coffee now. I am also occasionally getting level 2 Keys from the bakery at the White Rabbit.

Day 5

Level 12 took forever to reach. I barely have any space, and the game keeps churning out event islands and seasonal events. First, I was dealing with Shamrocks, then Flowers, and now it is Beanstalks. There is also some ultimate witch thing going on. I have no space.

I still have not managed to collect enough Diamonds to open up Bambi’s area. I am getting close to finishing the Cheshire Cat. That will also knock off the last upgrade to the Mad Hatter’s house.

On Fairytale Island, I managed to merge Piglet with Pooh’s area on the map. I now need to finish the Clock Croc for Peter Pan and Ariel for the mermaid section.

This island is slow. But it has been a good source of Gold and Diamonds. The Fairytale map does not use Energy; you are reliant on watching ads to get single items, daily freebies from the shop, and cross-over chests or other items from the other islands.

Day 15

Things have really slowed down. It took several days to reach level 15, and I now only have 15 days left on the offer. I think I may only get to level 18 before I run out of time. I have not purchased the $20 or $30 items. I am still on the fence about dropping that much money on the offer.

Day 16

I bit the bullet and made some additional purchases, including unlocking the small part of the map with the Diamonds for $3.99. This brought my total spending to $21.45, and it checked off the goals to “unlock land” and “spend $19.99.”

So, if you miss the keys offer or don’t feel it is worth it, you can still spend $30 to get all the spending goals. You could even buy 6 maxed-out piggy banks for total efficiency (4,800 Energy).

Game Guide: Game of Vampires

Unfortunately, so far I have only earned 702 points which is equal to $4.66 on MyPoints. So this offer is really not worth doing.”

…from bottom of this post.

Update 9/5/25: The offer reward has quadrupled in value. Although the terms are still quite insane. I have updated the language.

Reach the subsequent events listed to earn up to $1,149.00 on FreeCash. Not currently available on Swagbucks or MyPoints.

I would much prefer versions of this offer to include easier terms, such as collecting Lovers or completing Campaign levels.

Considerations

The old goal chart ended at reaching 12.5 million dominance (the old term was Sovereignty). Now the list caps out at 25 million, and they have added another level of VIP.

Reaching the last two objectives within a time limit of 15 days is really not feasible, in my opinion.

The time limit was previously set to 15 days. The new offer allows for a total of 30 days. So, I think it would be possible to reach some of the lesser goals.

I only made it to 1.58M Sovereignty ($4.82) after playing for 8 days. I’ve done much better in other games that use this format, such as King’s Throne and Game of Khans.

Strategy

Your Sovereignty is the sum value of the Warden, Lovers, and Heirs stats. All you need to do for this offer is boost your Warden’s stats via in-game items and leveling them up.

Lovers and Heirs will provide minimal improvements to your Sovereignty score.

You will want to use Skill books to raise the stats of your Wardens. Each hero has one or more skills that they specialize in.

Some Wardens are “jack-of-all” types, such as Camilla, and these can be fed any type of Skill book.

We will want to level up our Wardens to level 30 for the Economic types (Allure, Intel, Spirit) that boost our resource disbursements.

The Strength types will be used for combat, especially in Campaign and PvP, so let’s level these heroes to 100 and promote them when able.

Other than that, you just need to clear mission objectives. Completing your Daily Tasks will reward additional items.

Mostly, we want to get skill books to raise the stats of our Wardens, which in turn will raise our Sovereignty score.

Resources

The game uses 3 resource types: Blood, Dark Blossoms, and Bats. The Blood is used to level up our Wardens, and the Bats are used to clear the Campaign stages.

Clearing the Campaign stages will be the primary source of EXP for the player. As our Player increases in level, their court rank will improve.

This court ranking function is used in some of the mini-games as a way to “boot” out lower-ranking players.

You can collect Resources in your Castle. Initially, the resources will refill every minute, but this timer gets extended as you increase in level.

But, you also get more distribution uses at higher levels. The amount of resources you receive depends on the associated stats from your Wardens.

Dark blossoms are used in the Masquerade to keep your Luck value high. This increases the chances of encountering one of the potential Lovers that can be unlocked via Masquerade.

Some take 5 encounters, while others need 10 before they will enter your harem. If you encounter a Lover you already have in your harem, they will receive one Intimacy point.

Wardens

You can further boost the stats of your hero by using Skill Scrolls to improve their specialist skills.

Each skill can have 5 possible ranks, although, in the beginning, you will only see 3 ranks available.

The success rate on the Skill Scrolls is 100% for first-rank skills, 50% for second-rank, and 33% for third-rank ones.

I would suggest avoiding the allure of gambling on success with the 33% skills and instead simply do the 50% or 100% skills.

You can use the Training function to improve the more difficult skills without a chance of failure later on.

The next way to improve your Warden’s stats will be to unlock their mates. Each of the Lovers has a matching Warden, which you can view from their profile page.

The synergy effect can be boosted on the Bond screen, and this will, in turn, improve your Sovereignty score.

VIP

Each day, you can receive up to 18 VIP points from completing the Daily Tasks. The first VIP level requires 499 points.

  • VIP 1: 28 Days
  • VIP 2: Days?

The VIP function is largely intended for “whales,” players who spend tens of thousands of dollars on mobile games.

Whenever you see a game offer that includes an objective to reach a particular VIP level, understand that it will cost money, and like far more money than the offer rewards.

You can find a full chart of the costs associated with similar games on the GoV Wiki.

My Progress

When I originally did this offer, the terms were to finish in 15 days. I gave up after day 8, when I realised how insane the scoring system was.

Day 1

I managed to reach 140k Sovereignty on the first day and cleared chapter 13 of the Campaign. However, I was prevented from getting further by one of the missions that required the player to complete a daily action twice.

I saved up my Diamonds from completing Daily Tasks and then used them to purchase the Advancement pack, which included lots of Blood and Bats. I unlocked two Training slots for Wardens and two slots for Children. I also got 5 Lovers added to my harem.

The server reset time was at midnight for me (EST). This was nice since the last game offer I finished (Sea of Conquest) used an international clock and had inconvenient hours.

Day 2

On the second day, I reached 300k Sovereignty; however, because I was going too fast on the offer, I lost track and did not receive credit for the 200k objective.

I was once again stopped from further progress when I reached mission 154, which required a daily function.

Day 3

I managed to hit 455k Sovereignty today, and my Lord level is 5 currently. Total Power is 209.78K, and Intimacy is 226.

I have placed all of my Intimacy items on Alexis, the starter bride. I do not see any of the usual undressing mechanics in this game.

But those may become available later on.

Day 4

Pretty much uneventful. I did run out of Nectar, though. I had set the Masquerade to auto-refill using Nectar to improve my Luck stat. I forgot that Nectar is used to recruit Bats.

I also noticed that my Spirituality score was higher than my Intelligence, which meant that I was using more Nectar than I could generate.

So I have stopped improving the stats on my Spirit Wardens, and now I am only boosting Strength and Alchemy.

Day 5

I’ve been doing the Fishing and Bat attack minigames in the Dark Temple.

They give me some meager rewards, but it gives me something to do while I wait for more Bats.

My Sovereignty has hit 755k, and I am beginning to rack up undefeated streaks in the Arena as my Wardens get stronger.

Day 6

I’m up to 980k, mostly because I had forgotten to spend my Lovers Affinity points. These points can be used to gain a percentage boost to the primary stat of the Lovers matching Warden.

I received around 20-30% extra points from 7 of my Wardens, which came out to be around 125k points.

I think maybe 2 days ago, I gained access to the Conclave, which hosts the Assembly. This is just a sit-down game where you can bump off players of a lower ranking than you.

In Sultan and Khan, there were never any seats, and you were always getting bumped off when you did find a spot.

But not in Game of Vampires. There is always plenty of seat space, and I have only been bumped off a single time.

The benefit of joining the Assembly is that you can spend your accrued points on a bonus for all of your Wardens. I chose the Alchemy boost and managed to clear the first ten levels of the skill tree.

I managed to get an extra 1.8k Intellect on all of my Wardens and an extra 6% Intellect from consuming Alchemy books. With 22 Wardens, this came out to a total of 39.6k points.

Day 7

I am now up to 1.1M Sovereignty.

I finished the first week of events and received the Lover Inanna, who matches with Gilgamesh, who is an Allure/Intellect Warden. I now have a total of 9 Lovers and 23 Wardens.

I unlocked the Underworld, which is a mining function where you dispatch a crew of Wardens led by one of your Lovers.

The Wardens will earn Talent points, and you can get various small item rewards.

Day 8

I finally hit 1.2M on my Dominance score. My Power is 386.09K, and my Intimacy is 519.

I’ve been putting all of my Intimacy and attraction items on Alexis, and she is now at Tier 3: Heart’s Desire. The higher your Lovers’ rank, the more Attribute points your Children will get when they level up.

The progression of earning Sovereignty/Dominance points has really slowed down at this point.

I am not sure if I can make it to the next goal in the 7 remaining days for this offer.

Unfortunately, so far I have only earned 450 points, which is equal to $3 on MyPoints. So this offer is really not worth doing.

The End

On day 14, I had a total of 1.58M Dominance/Sovereignty.

Not enough to get any of the higher rewards. I think that spending money on this game is the only way I could get any further on the offer.

My total from working on this offer has been $4.82. Definitely not worth the time spent playing every day for two weeks.
