But the truth is, the Mysterious Fossil is part of a long hidden chain in the game.

Now, let’s jump into the steps.
- Step 1: Start with the Beach Bucket to Spawn Mysterious Letters
- Step 2: Collect 4 Mysterious Letters and Turn Them into a Mysterious Island
- Step 3: Tap the Mysterious Island to Get the First Fossil Piece
- Step 4: Complete 10 Customer Orders to Unlock the Second Fossil Piece
- Step 5: Use the Mystery Order to Combine the Two Fossil Halves
- Step 6: Complete the Final Order That Uses the Mysterious Fossil
Step 1: Start with the Beach Bucket to Spawn Mysterious Letters
When you tap the Beach Bucket, it spawns shells, sand castles, and Mysterious Letters. But the Mysterious Letters are very rare drops, so you have to keep tapping and clearing items to make sure your board has enough space for new items to appear.
Step 2: Collect 4 Mysterious Letters and Turn Them into a Mysterious Island
As I said before, Mysterious Letters are rare, and you need to collect four of them, which means this will take a bit of time. They don’t drop all at once, so just keep tapping and clearing space on your board.
That said, once you have 4 letters, merge them two by two and you’ll get 2 Treasure Maps.
Finally, merge the two Treasure Maps and you’ll unlock the Mysterious Island.
Step 3: Tap the Mysterious Island to Get the First Fossil Piece
Now, place the Mysterious Island on your board and keep tapping it, then you’ll get the first half of the Mysterious Fossil, plus some coins and diamonds.
So now you have the first fossil piece, let’s move to how to unlock the second half.
Step 4: Complete 10 Customer Orders to Unlock the Second Fossil Piece
Right after you’ve gotten the first half of the Mysterious Fossil, a Mystery Order will show up. And it’s a special order that will ask you to complete 10 normal customer orders.
You have to keep fulfilling these orders until you complete them, then you’ll be rewarded with the second half of the Mysterious Fossil.
Step 5: Use the Mystery Order to Combine the Two Fossil Halves
Finally, you now have both halves of the Mysterious Fossil, but you can’t merge them directly on your board.
So, how to merge them?
A new Mystery Order will show up, and ask you to deliver the two fossil halves. And when you do, you’ll get the full Mysterious Fossil.
Step 6: Complete the Final Order That Uses the Mysterious Fossil
Well, you’ve successfully created the full Mysterious Fossil.
But the real question is: what should you do with it?
A final order will appear, which asks to deliver the Mysterious Fossil, complete it and you’ll be rewarded with a big crate.
Put that crate on the board and tap it a few times to get free coins, energy, and diamonds.
Pretty cool, right?
That’s it, you’ve completed the full fossil chain!
NOTE
- You can get this Mysterious Fossil only one time, so if you sell it or delete it, you won’t get the items required to create it again.
- If you’ve deleted or sold the first half of the fossil that drops from tapping the Mysterious Island, you’ll need to grind the full chain again, which will cost you a lot of energy.
- If you’ve deleted or sold the second half of the fossil that you’ve got from completing the “Finish 10 Orders” task, you’ll be stuck with one half because the Mystery Order won’t appear again.
- When you get the first fossil half, you cannot dismiss or skip the Mystery Order, and it’ll stay in your order list until you complete it.
Conclusion
So that’s the full process to get the Mysterious Fossil in Travel Town.
As you can see, the fossil isn’t bugged at all, but the game never explains the hidden chain clearly, either. And that’s why so many players end up confused or they waste tons of energy trying random things.
Then again, the biggest mistake most players make is accidentally selling or deleting one of the fossil halves before they complete the chain.
Lastly, remember to be extra careful with your board, so try not to delete any of the fossil pieces by mistake or you’ll lose your chance to finish the chain.
As long as you follow these steps exactly, you’ll have that big crate full of energy and diamonds in no time.
