Let’s begin.

What Is the Merge Game in Family Island?

The Merge Game is a limited-time event in Family Island where you play on a separate board and combine matching items to create better ones.

Your goal is to build the items shown in the order list by tapping special objects called Producers, merging the items they drop, and sending the right ones to complete tasks.

Think of it like a mini puzzle game inside Family Island. If you’ve played Travel Town, it works in a very similar way. You merge items to level them up and unlock rewards.

To play this event, you’ll use Merge Capsules which are the event’s energy and you earn them by spending the regular energy.

Every time you tap a Producer to generate an item, it costs one Merge Capsule.

How to Play the Merge Game

Here’s how to play the Merge Game:

Use Producers

First, tap on the board icon on the home screen to open the Merge Game.

Once you’re on the merge board, look for items with a small yellow lightning bolt. These are Producers.

When you tap a Producer, it creates a basic item that appears on the board.

Each Producer creates its own item chain. For example, one Producer starts with oven mitts and as you merge them, they turn into kitchen tools then into a BBQ grill.

Merge Matching Items

To make better items, drag two identical ones together to create the next level in the item chain.

Complete Orders

On the left side of the screen, you’ll see a list of items you need to deliver. Once you’ve created one of these items, tap it, then tap the green “Go” button to deliver it.

Completing orders gives you progress points which move you closer to the event’s main rewards.

How to Manage the Merge Board

The merge board has limited space so it can fill up quickly. If you’re not careful, you’ll run out of room to place new items.

Here’s how to manage it:

  • Merge often to clear out lower-level items.
  • Complete orders quickly to remove items from the board.
  • Trash items you don’t need. Tap an item, then tap the trash can icon to delete it. Be careful though, you can only undo it if you haven’t tapped anything else.

How to Unlock More Space

Some tiles on the merge board are locked when the event begins. You’ll notice they’re covered with spiderwebs or have numbers on them.

To unlock them:

  • Merge items next to green tiles with spiderwebs. Once an item is placed or merged nearby, the tile unlocks.
  • Reach a specific item level to unlock tiles marked with numbers. These require you to create an item that’s equal to or higher than the level shown.

Unlocking new tiles gives you more room to work with, which is key to keeping your board organized.

How to Find the Item You Need

If you’re not sure where a certain item comes from, just tap the item in the order list then a small window will pop up.

Event Progress and Rewards

Every order you complete gives you progress points which fill up the bar at the top of the screen. As the bar fills, you unlock event milestones and rewards.

The goal is to reach the final milestone before the event ends. That’s where the best prizes are, including 5 star cards, free energy, and rubies.

The more efficient you are with your merges and board management, the faster you’ll reach the top rewards.

Tips to Get the Most Out of the Merge Game

  • Only tap Producers when you need the items. Don’t overload the board.
  • Keep your board clean. Trash what you don’t need and merge as soon as possible.
  • Use the item info button. It shows you exactly what to aim for.
  • Don’t waste Merge Capsules. Each one is valuable, so make sure every tap helps you move forward.

Final Thoughts

The Merge Game event gives you something new to enjoy in Family Island. It’s quick, fun, and full of rewards if you play it right. Once you learn how to tap Producers, manage space, and complete orders, the whole thing starts to click.

Now that you know what to do, jump in and start merging. Complete as many orders as you can and work your way toward the best rewards.
