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.
