Terms
Reach the listed goals within 60 days to earn Up to 7,705 SB! (77.05 USD)
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.
Tips & Tricks

Earlier this year I made the decision to upgrade my WordPress account from a free to a paid plan. A big part of my decision was being able to monetize the site. I have tried my hand at affiliate marketing but have not had any success so far.
In the previous post, I detailed the costs of the upgrade and the discounts that I was able to apply to my purchase. My average cost per year is about 66 USD and so that has been my goal as far as revenues from the advertising on the site.
Divided by 9 (I started in March) it brings my monthly goal to 7.33 USD for ad revenue.
As you can see, my earnings have not yet reached that goal. April marked my first full month of advertising on the site. The FAQ page in the WordPress help files said that it would take up to 3 months for advertisers to fine-tune their presence on the site.
You can see there was a small drop in ads served after April, but this went up noticeably once June was finished.
Above you can see that I only published 3 posts for the period of June 17th through June 23rd. My visitor traffic was only 975 with total views of 1,720 pages.
The CPM was 0.26 USD which yielded revenues of 1.78 USD for that period. This was a large portion of the earnings for June.
I think the increased ads served came from completing the Daily Writing prompts.
These writing questions will often get a lot of traffic in the WordPress Reader and posts can garner Likes and Reblogs. On days when I complete a writing prompt, I will see my visitor traffic swell.
I still need 53.63 USD to break even this year on the cost of the upgrade. I am still hopeful that my site traffic will increase over time. My gaming guides continue to be the main source of site traffic.
I have tinkered with the idea of migrating over content from my other blog which gets more traffic, but I am concerned that it may not fall under the “family-friendly” guidelines for WordAds. This site received 15k views from April to June while the other site gets 17k+ each month.
Anyway, I will continue to track my progress and post another update for quarter three in October. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
“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.
Offer Terms
Must be a new user of the app to earn SB.
Reach all levels listed below within 30 days of installation to earn Up to 6,125 SB.
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.

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.

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).
Codes are Case Sensitive
MCDBEER2024
DC15KFANS
DC20KFANS
DC25KFANS
FB50KFANS
FB60KFANS
FB70KFANS
FATHERS2024
Mother’s Day and Children’s Day codes are Expired
They said an 80k Facebook Fans code would be released
Mecha Domination Codes
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.
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.
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.
Recently, I received a DM on Reddit asking about Swagbucks and how to get started with the service. As I was going through suggestions and advice I realized that others may benefit from what I had to say.
It looked quite long on a small screen but here it is nonetheless.
I’d be happy to offer some advice.
For a new person to Swagbucks, I would suggest strengthening your demographic profile.
The Swagbucks platform is wary of new accounts hitting big offers, cashing out, and then promptly disappearing.
You can show them that you are genuine in your intent to engage with the platform and its services by completing some Surveys. You can follow up with some of the smaller offers like Magic Receipts, or online shopping using the browser extension.
I’d also suggest bookmarking their Facebook page so you can collect the weekly codes. These are worth a few points but are especially useful when they run a Swago event (Bingo).
Game offers and Bank account bonuses have the best payouts. If you are looking at a bank bonus I would suggest comparing what Swagbucks is offering with the listings on “Doctor of Credit,” occasionally there is a better offer being made directly by the bank.
For cashing out, Amazon gift cards are a popular choice. PayPal is also a good option. If you are using PayPal, both your Swagbucks email address and the PayPal email address need to match. PayPal does allow you to list multiple email addresses on the same account. Just something to keep in mind. Also, once a month your first gift card redemption will be discounted.
Depending on the State/Region you reside in, you may have the option to purchase SB (points). Some US States do not allow this. The same can be true of receipt/shopping deals for Alcohol or offers for Gambling apps or services. If you see people talking about an offer like them, but you don’t see it, then, it is likely not allowed where you live.
Make sure you never connect to Swagbucks using a VPN. If you have one, make sure it is disabled when you are accessing the Swagbucks website. This is in their Terms of Service as a bannable offense. VPNs can be used to cheat the offers, so they are not allowed. Be especially careful if you decide to complete an offer that is selling a VPN service. Using said service to connect to Swagbucks can result in a ban. You can search the r/Swagbucks sub for examples of this happening to other users.
Searching the sub for the terms “ban” or “banned” may actually be a healthy decision. This can inform you as to the things you should avoid doing.
I should also mention that there are members of the sub that actively, and quite unashamedly, cheat the offers and abuse the system using various means. Unfortunately, their activities do harm the rest of the community. I do hope you keep clean and do not stray. Best of luck!
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.
Organise attacks, spin the wheel, raid your friends, and develop your epoch! Install Age of Coins and unlock the listed epochs within 30 days to earn Up to 42,530 SB!*

Must unlock each Epoch within 30 days of install.

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.
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.
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.
