I have been using Swagbucks since 2020 and FreeCash since 2022, and in that time I have played many games. Though never more than once (for an offer).
I like to check both sites before deciding which platform to use. I also check MyPoints and InboxDollars, although I mostly get referrals from those sites.
Challenges
I have revisited some titles to check if the offer terms have been changed or if the instruction and tips I have offered are still relevant. Sometimes it is necessary to re-install a game to simulate completing an offer, challenging myself to reach most of the goals listed.
Two titles in particular, Raid: Shadow Legends and The Grand Mafia. With these two, I challenged myself to a simulated playthrough several times as the offer terms continued to change.
I have my favorite titles that I have played, there are some that I continued to play well after completing the offer. Some games just had the right hook to keep me playing.
But the top 10 best games I have completed would have to be those that I had the easiest run through and earned me the greatest payouts.
I made a really nice guide for this one, but I spent too much money on it. I only earned $13.19 after spending $38.90. In hindsight, I think it could be done with little to no spending.
I’m doing this one through FreeCash. It is a Merging game with Match3 puzzles for advancement through the game.
Update (Day 10): I gave up. Uninstalled it yesterday. I was struggling to progress through the puzzles and I hated playing the game.
I usually enjoy Merge games. Not this one.
I could have made it to 30, but the amount of time needed felt like a waste for only $1.88.
I checked the offer terms for Swagbucks and didn’t like the time limits on completing stages. They also had too many purchase requirements. The offer through FreeCash doesn’t include any purchases and has set time limits.
I’m not pleased with the game.
The only thing you really need to do is clear the puzzles, but all the micromanagement stuff is drawing my attention and wasting time that could be spent on puzzles.
It’s addictive.
But honestly, neither site has a good deal. I wouldn’t suggest this offer. A third of the reward is relegated to bonus goals that are unachievable.
Terms
It’s 60 days to complete the offer with the first regular goal at level 30 for $1.88. The next goals are level 40, 50, and 60 by day 45 for $3.08, $6.15, and $12, respectively. Only getting 15 days to clear 30 levels is really not enough.
The final leg of the offer is levels 70 through 100 with only another 15 days to finish. This last bit is worth $258.75. If you add the lost rewards from the bonus goals, it becomes $437.50 out of total offer of $469.88.
So, realistically, I will only be able to earn $32.38 from Merge Gardens on FreeCash. As I said before, I wouldn’t recommend this offer.
Game Strategy & Support Tips
Guide credit goes to Swagbucks community on Reddit.
Lets get started with some efficient merging and resource management by always waiting to merge five items at a time, especially for those mysterious veins and gems to the max.
You should never buy baskets or hampers since its better to save your gems for missions or continuing puzzles.
After you hit level 50, keep a cache of 5-7 daily supplies so you aren’t stuck waiting for days.
For puzzles and wildlife, only do match-3 puzzles if they are necessary for leveling up or events, and focus on merging stars up to level 5 before tapping to get swan nests for your wildlife score.
Honey trees are going to be your basic source for money and eggs too.
If you can, the 30-day gem pack is worth it for a steady supply, but just spend what you need to reach goals since the game can become a grind.
You’ll want to grind your birds throughout the day whenever they have full energy. For levels 1-50, focus on merging basics and using events for infinite lives or boosts.
Once you’re in the level 50-70 range, start saving your daily boxes and trade bags until a quest actually requires them, and prioritize honey bees for your wildlife score.
For the high levels up to 99, keep grinding high-value items, but keep in mind that many think level 99 is basically impossible without a massive time investment.
If you run into issues with getting credited, make sure to provide timestamped screenshots to support and ask for an escalation to a senior specialist if they push back.
Lastly, remember that the game eventually gives you “pity rounds” after enough fails, and you can always use 25 gems for extra moves on the tough puzzles.
Update December 2024: I occasionally run play tests to see whether offer terms are achievable. In a recent playtest, I managed to get 15 Orange heroes in 40 days.
MyPoints was referenced for this offer; however, it is currently (as of July 2025) only available through InboxDollars.
Of the advertised 251 USD, it should be possible to earn 100 USD through goal completions.
Additionally, there are two reimbursed purchases totaling 30 USD. Taxes or VAT may increase the purchase cost.
The purchases are optional; however, they are reimbursed and will set you on your way, so I would suggest spending the money.
Both purchases can be made on the first day. This is especially useful for the “Month Card.”
The VIP 4 goal requires you to spend $79.95 (if you also buy the Premium Pass) or $ 109.94 if you buy only Diamonds.
I advise against either option. The reward for reaching VIP 4 is not worth the cost. I also do not believe it is possible to get a Red Hero in the allotted time of this offer.
You would need to be extremely lucky and obtain multiple copies of a single premium hero through all your gacha pulls and events.
The heroes you will be dealing with for this offer come in 4 colors: Green, Blue, Purple, and Orange.
The “12 and 15” Orange Hero requirements for this offer may be difficult to achieve without an obvious focus on specific heroes.
Make sure you finish all steps of your Daily Quests and also collect each of the Online rewards in the control panel. The Hire coins you receive from these activities will be useful for the Hiring Events.

Friends
A game function includes a friends list with other players on your server. You can request people to add you to their list in the World chat.
Each day, you may send and receive flowers. The free flowers are Blue and provide a small number of points for exchange in the Mart. Purple flowers require Diamonds and give a larger amount of points for exchange.
Some players will only add friends who promise to send Purple flowers.
Lineup
My team changed quite a bit during the first week of play. I mostly placed higher-quality heroes in the front and blue/green in the back. However, this was not a proper lineup for battle.
After gaining access to PvP battles, I was able to observe better synergies with heroes and which ones had the best survivability. I also checked some YouTube videos on the game and found that some of the early game heroes were very good for PvE and PvP combat.
Kratos, Harpe, Charlotte, Fino, A-Zhao, and Arae.
My Tank is Kratos, and the Off-Tank is Harpe. The middle is occupied by Charlotte and Fino. The back row has A-Zhao and Arae.
Both Kratos and Charlotte have self-healing abilities. Kratos has a very high defense, which pairs with the healing to make for an excellent tank.
Kratos and Arae are acquired through Senior hires most often. Harpe is a reward from logging in on Day 5, Day 7, and the Trials. Charlotte is the 4th reward from the Perfect Hire event after spending 20 Coins. A-Zhao comes with a beginner’s event and some early purchases.
Early to Mid Game: Around level 70, the above lineup started to fail at PvE, and so I rearranged the group and replaced some members. I kept Fino for his group buff effect in battle. New members of my lineup include Charlotte and Phoebe.
Back

Front
A-Zhao
Harpe

Phoebe
Fino
Kratos
Charlotte has a more frequent self-healing ability compared to Kratos, and she also has a chance to stun enemies. Phoebe is a Crowd-Control type Warrior; she has a primary attack that can stun enemies. I found it pairs well with Charlotte’s Stun ability.
Both Charlotte and Phoebe can be evolved to Orange, and so this works well for the offer.
Camps (Evolve)
The game includes characters from 6 factions (called Camps), each Camp will have a Blue hero you will want to keep as a required ingredient to form an Orange hero.
It is important to note that of the Blue heroes that you get from Rookie/Senior hires, only those listed below in the “Fodder For” column can be evolved to Orange.
You may get “lucky” and pull a Purple hero that also has an Orange or Red version; however, you will still need 2 more copies of that hero and then 5 extra Purples from the same camp to complete the Evolution.
To make an Orange, you will need two Purple copies of the hero, plus 2 Purples from the same camp, and two random Purples. A total of six Purple heroes are needed to make an Orange from the first set of heroes listed below.
To make an Orange from the advanced heroes listed below, you will need three copies of the original, three copies of the fodder, and two Purples from the same camp.
Check your Mart and Exchange Shops every day for the copies you need. Save up Perfect Hire coins, General and Royal tokens, and Bullets for the weekly events.
Check to see how much you need to use to reach a milestone, and then stop there and save the rest until the next event. We have 6 weeks to complete the offer.

by beb700
A recycling function is available on the Backstreet Map that will allow you to dismantle your unwanted Green and Blue heroes in exchange for resources to upgrade the keepers.
B.C.P.D (Police)
You can unlock 4 tasks daily, with additional uses available with VIP status. Tasks can be refreshed using Bullets or Diamonds. Police Badges will open a new task after completing the currently available tasks. Each task will require heroes from different Camps, varying Star and Quality ranks, and each hero can only be assigned to a single mission at a time. Your score during the Bounty Event will be based on the number of completed tasks.
Mart (Shop)
You can purchase items from the Mart using Gems and occasionally Gold. Many additional shops will become available as you increase in level and unlock the Arena and similar features.
If you see Senior or Rookie Hire Coin, I would advise you to purchase these. The Hero fragments only need to be bought if they correspond with one of the heroes on the Camp chart provided.
Sometimes you will encounter discounted prices on items either in the Mart or on the Chapter Stages. Always buy items that are available for Gold.
Please consult the chart below for item values.

Events
The in-game events last a week and run monthly on a set cycle.
Bounty > Perfect Hire > Arcade + Dawn Event
You can save unused items from the events for the next time around. We have 6 weeks to complete the offer terms, so you will get a chance to use them again.
Specifically, we are looking for Perfect Hire Coins and Blue/Purple Fragments for select heroes. Consult the chart for the names of your upgrade materials.
The Arcade
Rookie Hire
Perfect Hire
You will want to save up your Perfect Hire coins. In the events panel, you will receive rewards for completing sets of hires. See pictures for details. I had 20 coins available when the event started.
Dawn Commission
You need to reach level 50 before completing tasks for this event. As you play, you will receive Dawn Cinema Tickets, which can be used to refresh commissions at the Dawn Cinema.
You can complete 5 missions each day, and using a filmstrip will unlock an extra play. You get more points from Purple missions, so keep refreshing to get purples and complete them. You can also give yourself a handicap in exchange for a % increase in rewards.
The Dawn Commission Shop includes Fragments for Purple heroes for 70k points.
Bounty Event
Complete bounty tasks at the B.C.P.D. to earn points to redeem.
You’ll want to keep refreshing the available tasks until a Purple one shows up. We need to complete 30 Purple tasks to receive 2 Blue copies of Charlotte. We will also get 16 Senior Hires, 1 Perfect Hire, and 1,200 Diamonds.
We need to earn 264 points in the Bounty Event to spend in the Bounty Store. This is enough to purchase all of the Hire Coins, Purple Fragments, Poker Chips, and Energy Orbs.
Gear
Using the Workshop on the Backstreet Map, you can craft gear for your heroes. Part of the tutorial will include instructions on how to manage this function.
Halidoms
These become available to heroes level 45 and above. They are an additional form of equipment that adds extra enhancements to your hero’s stats. The Halidoms come in different Quality levels of Green, Blue, Purple, Orange, and Red. Upgrade materials can be acquired from the Chapter Missions.
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!

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.
Unlock new items, explore new lands, and create your own wonderland through matching and merging! Install and reach the listed events within 30 days to earn Up to 51,550 SB ($515.50).
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.
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).
Combine your passion for adventure & capitalism, get rich, and become a money-mining tycoon!
I finished this offer in 7 days.
Remember to watch the ads to get a cash boost. It will show up every minute or so. You will watch hundreds of ads before the offer is complete. Best to accept this point before you begin.
Terms
Unlock the levels below within 10 days to earn Up to 5,525 Points!* – Unlock Bank Level 3 “Big Town, Bigger Bank” to earn 425 Points – Unlock Bank Level 6 “Making Waves” to earn 5,100 Points
This one is more complex than Gold & Goblins. There is much more micro-management in this game. You have more options available for customizing your team members, and you get more Premium currency (Gems/Gold) from completing objectives. This will help to speed up your completion of the game offer.
Time Frame
We only get 10 days to complete this offer. I was able to reach Bank 3 within the first 24 hours and Bank 4 in a little over 60 hours. There is really no way around watching ads. You’ll need to watch them to get the cash you need to complete upgrades. It took 6 days to reach bank 5, and I finished the offer on the 7th day.
Something important I forgot to mention is that you keep your Cash after each Bank map. A good strategy I found was purchasing extra Cash in the shop before moving to the next map. This way, you have enough funds to max out your early functions from the start.
The rewards from ads far exceed what you earn from bank operations. For example, watching a 30-second ad earns $4.75 billion while operations earn $300 million in that same period.
Gameplay
Clearing Banks
Each map will have a set of Milestones that need to be completed before you can advance to the next bank. The number of objectives in each Milestone shifts. I had started a log but found that the numbers were not consistent.
I would strongly advise you to limit spending your cash on upgrading the facility beyond the requirements of the objectives you are given. It is easy to get yourself in a hole where you cannot afford the cost of mission objectives.
The bank will be fully maxed out by the time you reach the final objective for the map, but this will take time. It will be most efficient to go in the order of objectives as they arise in and out of ordinary business operations.
Bank Area
Each section of the bank includes a core function facility and then an assortment of additions that boost the amount of cash generated by the bank. You can improve cash flow efficiency by maintaining a good balance.
The Vault
Vault: Upgrade to increase the speed of cash depositing.
Cash Carts: Upgrade to increase their carrying capacity.
Security Equipment: Upgrade this item to get extra cash from clients.
Monitors: Upgrade this item to get extra cash from clients.
Statue: Upgrade this item to get extra cash from clients.
Service Desk:
Service Desk: Upgrade to increase the speed of processing clients’ deposits.
Office Equipment: Upgrade this item to get extra cash from clients.

Events
There is a mini-game called “Audit Madness” that runs every two days. This event will get you extra Briefcases, which will distribute Manager cards for promoting your bank team members.
Managers
I read some posts on a game forum, and the resounding consensus was that you should only upgrade your Legendary (Gold) Managers. By the end of the 7th day, I was only missing 2 legendary managers. You’ll get plenty of them, so make sure to save your duplicate Blue/Purple managers for upgrading the Yellows.
Leveling
You can raise the level of your Managers by collecting Light Bulbs. They can be acquired in the “Business Mode” mini-game. This is a standard Match3 puzzle that includes an Auto-Mode so that you don’t need to play yourself.
Your Manager’s stat points and Proficiency will determine how effective they are at the mini-game. It is rare to lose a match, as you can watch an ad to restore your health.
Promotions
The upgrade path works the same as Merging games. You will use duplicate manager cards to upgrade others. The level caps are based on the Star ranking of your Manager. See the chart below.
