Help, news and guides

How to find instructions, see what’s new and keep an eye on your data.

The menu

Start page and waiting lobby: tap the menu button (three dots) at the top right next to your account. You’ll find news, guides, privacy & data, graphics and the language there.
On the island: open the ⋯ menu. The same entries are under “Help”.

Island guide: in the island’s ⋯ menu under “Help”. It shows everything you can do on the island – with unlock level, “Show on map” and the matching guide – and explains terms such as shells, pearls or freshness.
Next step: new players see a bar with small goals at the top left. Each one introduces a system and gives a small reward. Tap it to see all goals, or collapse it.
First sale: the first time you sell fish, Frieda adds a little extra – enough for the crate, your first bigger bucket.
Tips on your first visit: the villagers say a few words when you reach a place for the first time. You can switch off single tips or all of them in the island guide under “Introduction & tips”.
There you can also replay the introduction with the ferry, Grandpa Kutter and the first cast.

Tap the search box and type what you want to know – for example “bait” or “trap”.
The tabs below pick a category. “Recently read” takes you quickly back.
New guides carry a “New” tag.
Every guide also exists as a web page, for example to share with friends.

After an update, the window opens once by itself as soon as things are calm: on the start page, in the waiting lobby or on the island – never in the middle of a game or a fight.
A dot on the menu button shows there’s something unread.
Older entries are under “Looking back” and on the “News” page.

Here you switch off usage statistics (with an account) and download a copy of your data.
The full privacy policy is available as its own page.
