    Virtual Villagers: A New Home strategy and puzzle guide (source: VirtualVillagers and Gamezebo).

    Your little band of villagers has washed up on a remote island, and they’re lost and confused. Now what?

    There are two basic objectives in Virtual Villagers: successfully managing the day-to-day routine of your little band of castaways, so that they are able to thrive in their new home, and unlocking the mysteries of Isola. The former is absolutely necessary to make sure that your little villagers survive, which will allow you to pursue the second objective of solving the puzzles.

    The trick is in finding the right balance between the two. The more villagers you have, the faster they can research new technologies and solve the puzzles, but having too many mouths to feed can quickly deplete available food supplies and spell disaster for your tribe!

    The first thing you need to work on in Virtual Villagers is making sure that your villagers’ basic needs are met. Their most urgent need is food, which you’ll find in limited supply at the berry bush. They will soon need additional housing, too, and there is already a partially completed hut that your builder can get to work on. Turning on tutorial mode (Help) the first time through the game will help familiarize you with the mechanics of playing Virtual Villagers.

    A good strategy for success early in the game is to make sure that you keep the food supply above the 300-400 level, if at all possible. Your villagers will be less worried about food, and much more productive if you do that. Don’t be in too big a rush to create a baby boom, or you might find yourself scrambling to save your tribe from the brink of starvation.

    There are some important points to keep in mind as you develop your own strategy for playing Virtual Villagers:

    • The berry supply is limited and you’ll need to find another food source as soon as possible.
    • Nursing mothers devote all of their time to caring for their baby and don’t do any productive work in the village for 2 years of game time.
    • Babies eat as much as adults and making too many babies too soon can quickly create a food crisis.
    • Any villager (even a sick one) can heal another villager, but healing is only possible when a villager’s status is “Sick” (check the Details screen).
    • Sometimes a villager will “resist” healing attempts by a specific doctor. If that happens, try to heal your sick villager again with a different villager.
    • Sick villagers need to be healed or they will weaken and die [*] Villagers can become weakened by such things as prolonged disease, starvation, on-the-job injuries, animal attacks, or old age.
    • Villagers who show a status of “Weakened” will generally improve in health over time unless they are sick, elderly or continue to suffer injuries.
    • The villagers need to be taught to perform a job – they will not initiate tasks in an occupation in which they have no skill.
    • You can view information about various technology advancements on the Village Tech screen by clicking on the “?” button for that technology. This information will help you choose the order in which to purchase new technology.
    • The villagers’ curiosity is often a clue to puzzles.
    • The children can find and harvest a certain kind of food.
    • Picking up a villager while they’re working will interrupt them, and they will drop the object that they were carrying.
    • To build a new hut, drag a builder over top the rock and planks.
    • To clear the beach, buy construction tech and drag and drop villagers on the wood.
    • To clear the spring/sauna drag and drop builders over the rocks.
    • To create a school drag and drop a Master Scientist over the large hut.
    • Get 15 villagers to unlock the first milestone.
    • Get doctors and scientists to study the awkward looking plants.
    • Little kids can only pick up mushrooms, the only tasks adults cannot do.
    • Put nursing mothers in the sauna for a healthier baby.
    • Make sure to always have at least 1 villager planting or foraging.
    • If you take a long trip (2 or more days) be sure to pause the game while you are gone.

    Most of the puzzles are dependent upon some combination of Village Tech, villager skills, and other puzzles. Although some puzzles depend upon the completion of specific puzzles, the 16 puzzles are rarely completed in the order that you see them on the puzzle screen. Pay attention to the things that your villagers are curious about and the messages that you see when you take one of your villagers “exploring” around the island. These often provide clues that will help you solve the puzzles. Another good strategy is to drag one of your adult villagers around the island after every tech purchase and look for new things that they can work on. Most of the frustration related to solving the puzzles is brought on by impatience. It takes time for your villagers to gain the necessary skills and technology to work through all of the puzzles.

    I CANNOT FIND THE SHINY ROCK….I HAVE COMPLETED ALMOST EVERYTHING…I CANNOT FIND THE TREASURE BUT THE SHINY ROCK IS NOT ON THE WEST SIDE…IS IT UNDER THE LOGS?

  3. Bree says:

    I cant find the treasure!…ive looked between the food bin and the temple and i cant seem to get in the right place or something.

  4. Jessica Barnes says:

    After you put the nursing mother in the Lagoon and the Golden Child is created, take him to the Magical Garden. Drop him in it, and his Action will be:Calling Butterflies! Next, take him to the Fruitless Plant, and the butterflies will follow him.Drop him on the plant and the Butterflies will pollenate it.It will then become the Magical Fruit Plant. When your villagers eat it, they will live longer!

  5. Jessica Barnes says:

    I found the Treasure, but how do I open it, and what’s in it? I’ve pulled villagers to it, but their actions say: Admiring the Treasure.

  11. Sarah says:

    you need to have level two of construction in tech to uncover the lagoon. after that you need to have level three in fertility to make a golden child. drag a nursing mother into the lagoon (full of water) and she will have a golden child. CUTE golden child. :D

  12. Carolyn says:
