Time Lab Pieces Are Not Dropping.

Verified that all the elements are set to drop more than 50% of the time! The odds are in your favor! It's really just luck of the draw, just like flipping a coin. Random probability is sometimes confusing. 

Why Does Game Lock Up When Scene's Finish?

When playing Old scenes (As per chapter Quests) as soon as the scene is finished the game locks up, This mainly happens in Big screen, and because the items are so small nowadays, it is the only way most players can play the game.

On March 18, 2015 we had a large server update that was intended to speed up the game and reduce the number of crashes. Hopefully this fix addressed your concerns, if not let us know by writing in a ticket with RY support. Thanks!

Blank Buildings In Garden: Can We Get These Removed?

Blank buildings in garden: Can we get these removed, either through removing the line coding in their account of when they were actually put into their account garden, or get the removal of their time machine, so they at least have a level playing field when having to Rep up their garden for the Huge Reps that are required nowadays to open each chapter. 

The Time Machine cannot be removed from the garden. It's essential that it remains in the Garden.

As for the blank buildings, we are in discussion with our QA and developers to find a solution. The origin of the issue is currently unknown and it has been extremely difficult to reproduce. We are so sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. This is definitely a top issue we are investigating, but it is very rare and we cannot provide a clear time frame for a fix. Many apologies.

Why Do Gifts And Requests We Receive In The Message Center Remain In The FB Apps Center?

Why do copies of the gifts and requests we receive in the message center remain in the FB apps center and accumulate there, which then makes it necessary for us to clear them out to receive new requests in our message center, and keep our game running smoothly. All Other games on FB do not have this problem. 

There is a chance is was during the transition when players missed the deadline to accept the new Terms of Service Agreement causing "ghosts" and glitches in gifts/friend leader-board. We're still working the issues caused by this issue. 

When Playing The 6th Scene In Chapters, The XP And Silver Is The Same As Playing The 5th Scene

When playing the 6th scene in chapters...Having PAID for it with Gold...The XP and Silver is basically the same as playing the 5th scene...Why is this happening, when the Normal was if you paid for the 6th scene you were rewarded, people aren't going to use gold (BUY GOLD which is what Rockyou needs) without being looked after.

Don't forget, not only are you unlocking a beautiful scene & extra story, you are also getting a Premium Gold Building 

When Leaving The Grass Path In The Loyalty Shop As A Permanent Thing So We Can Get Them When We Want

When playing the 6th scene in chapters...Having PAID for it with Gold...The XP and Silver is basically the same as playing the 5th scene...Why is this happening, when the Normal was if you paid for the 6th scene you were rewarded, people aren't going to use gold (BUY GOLD which is what Rockyou needs) without being looked after. 

Don't forget, not only are you unlocking a beautiful scene & extra story, you are also getting a Premium Gold Building

Will It Be Possible To Start Gifting Bundles In The Gold Shop?

This has been asked before, it's something we can look into. Thanks for bringing up the suggestion again.

Can The Limit On The Energy Sparks In Our Inventory Be Increased?

Can the limit on the energy sparks in our inventory be increased? We can hold hundreds of yellow tulips, park benches or shamrockpatches but only 99 energy, it would be awesome if this was unlimited. Picking up energy from the MC is a returning drag if you don't want to waste some or all. It takes forever.

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll look into this.

Is It Possible To Change The Paths To Allow Us To Choose Either Square Or Rounded Corners?

Is it possible to change the paths to allow us to choose either square or rounded corners? Currently, when paths are placed to create a turn, they curve around the unconnected corner. It would be nice to be able to choose whether or not we want it to stay curved or be squared off. Maybe they could be set up similarly to how the Artifacts, Buildings, Decorations, & Wonders are displayed in our garden (we can choose between the normal or upgraded appearance).

It would be a lot of redoing the artwork, but it's something we can look into.

Can The Designers Fix The Items Placed In A Garden So They Can Be In The Non-Animated State?

Can the designers fix the items placed in a garden so that, in the non-animated state, they look like how they appear in the Shop? For example, I saved up my LPs so I could get the Sledding Boy, but it appears as a "ghost" in my garden! Not too happy about that. It also happens with several other items (3 are shown in the picture attached to this post). Hope the RY designers can fix it for us. Thank you! (picture in comment area)

It's a bug indeed. Thanks for brining it to our notice. We'll fix it. 

Be Nice To Have "Complete" All As Well As A "Clear Garden" Feature Possibly Located Under A Wheel It

It would be wonderful if we had a "complete" all feature as well as a "clear garden" feature possibly located under a wheel item. Is this possible? 

We already have a complete all under construction buildings. If you have placed buildings in your garden, you'll notice how much you reputation level will increase when those buildings are completed. You can click the reputation bar & a pop up will appear giving you the option to complete all buildings under construction for a certain amount of gold. As for clear garden feature? It has been brought up before. We're looking into it.

Could Get An Update On RockYou's Longer Term Plans For The Game?

I was wondering if we could get an update on RockYou's longer term plans for the game. I found a post from awhile back that showed that GoT can only support up to somewhere around level 320-340.....Will we get a GoT 2 or a platform change at some point? Not looking for commitments or dates, just wondering what is being considered, if it can be shared. Thanks! 

We plan on supporting the game for many, many years. We love our players & want to be sure they are taken care of. <3 Theoretically there's no limit to the level. Actually increasing the levels is something we will look into the future. It has been requested quite a few times. Gardens of Time 2 sounds like fun!  ... but currently not in our plans. There's way too much to be taken care of in the Time Society at the moment. Same with platform change, currently not in our plans. 

Is RockYou Planning To Add New Garden Skins?

Is RockYou planning to add new Garden Skins. I would love some new ones. Something spring and summer like and something Red White and Blue. 

I know, it has been a long time since we have done skins. It's something we can look into! Glad to hear there are players that enjoy the skins. 

What Are Time Portals In Gardens Of Time?

Time Portals

Time Portals are a new feature that lets you spin and win exclusive, limited time items.

If you collect all four items, then a special new scene unlocks for you to play.

This scene has new art, and drops extra materials for the Time Lab.

How do I Find the Time Portal Keys?

Keys are found when you earn an item for the first time. You must collect one of each item, to unlock the scene.

Where is this feature found?

Access this new feature from the pop-up, or visit the collections menu by clicking the collections icon on the navigation wheel. Time Portals is a tab on the collections menu.

When I win an item, where does it go?

The item is placed into your inventory, and the experience you gain is added automatically to your experience bar. Place the item in your garden to earn garden reputation.

Can I get more than one of each item?

Yes - when you spin the wheel, you have a random chance to win one of any of the items on the wheel.

There is a maximum number of each item you can win - if you reach your limit on any one item, you will get one of the other wheel items instead. You may win several of any of the items on the wheel. 

The Time Mechanism - What Is It, And How Does It Work In Gardens Of Time?

The Time Mechanism takes you to random scenes. There are some exclusive scenes that you can only play by using the Time Mechanism.

To unlock this feature, you need to complete the first steps of the Time Lab quests. You can view the Time Lab and Time Mechanism by clicking the icon in your garden, then choosing one of two tabs at the top of the lab.

To play the Time Mechanism, you need 10 energy and 1 Token. You can make Tokens in the Time Lab, or purchase them with gold. 

Click the button, "Spin for 10 Energy and 1 Token"

The spinner will choose a random scene, and a random mode. 

Click the Scene to play, or, you can click to spin again if you want to play something else. It won't take any extra energy, but you will need another token to spin again. 

How Do I Blitz For Toolboxes In Gardens Of Time?

What are Toolboxes for, and how do I get them? 

To upgrade wonder in Gardens of Time, you'll need to collect Toolboxes. Toolboxes are special items that you find sometimes when playing a Blitz Challenge. 

Challenge your neighbors to Blitzes, and accept their Blitz Challenges to find toolboxes! Toolboxes won't drop every time, so try a few challenges each day.

What is a Blitz?

A scene blitz is similar to a normal scene, except that you have 60 seconds to find as many items as you can.

You do not need to win the scene to have a chance at finding a toolbox, but your neighbor will have to accept your Blitz request you send them, and then play the scene. They will have a chance to find one when they help you. 

To play a blitz, visit a neighbor and find the roamer with the exclamation point. Click on him to bring up the option to blitz. You can also find the Blitz icon on the left, where you normally find your quest icons in your garden. 

See the Pictures below for a quick guide!

An important note about 'Play Blitz'  *****

When you click on your wonder to see your material or upgrade, you will see the words "Play Blitz" in grey.This is NOT a button. This is only a reminder that Toolboxes come from blitzes.

An important note about building materials *****

Find out how many toolboxes you need by clicking on a wonder in your garden. Remember that materials are shared between all buildings/wonders. If you use some to upgrade one wonder, you will have less left over for the next one. 

How Do Time Crystals Work In Gardens Of Time?

Players can spend Time Crystals in the following ways

Spend a Time Crystal and 10 energy to play a Time Crystal chapter scene

Use Time Crystals as an upgrade material for special buildings

Players on Facebook can find Time Crystals in the following ways:

*Important note: You must be level 5 or higher, and also have finished Chapter 1 quests 

You can find Time Crystals by playing scenes

You can post Time Crystals requests on your Timeline (limit is 6 posts, 12 crystals total per day)

You can also send out 1-1 request to request crystals from your friends (limit is 12 cry stals per day)

You can purchase more Time Crystals with Gold.

When do I get free Time Crystals?

If you are a member of the Inner Circle, you will receive free Time Crystals at the end of the month automatically. This arrives at the same time you get your special building for being in the Inner Circle. Depending on your timezone though, your Time Crystals and Building may show up 24 hours After* the end of that month.

Players do not automatically receive time crystals at the start of a crystal chapter.

This is a misunderstanding of this goodwill feature. When a new Time Crystal chapter is released, the game checks to see how many time crystals you have.

If you have less than 20 when it checks, then the game will give you some time crystals.

If you had more than this amount when the game gives crystals, then you would not receive any more.

If you had some crystals, you would only receive a few crystals so you have enough to open the chapter and play a few scenes. 

When a chapter ends, what happens to my leftover Time Crystals?

You get to keep all of your Time Crystals. They can be used to play Time Crystal Chapter scenes you have unlocked and to build and upgrade Time Crystal Buildings that you have earned.

Time Crystal Crafter: Expired

The Time Crystal Crafter no longer creates Time Crystals. 

Any leftover shards you may have had are converted automatically into Time Crystals. 

You can now sell the crafter, or store the item in inventory.

Where Is The Daily Bonus In Gardens Of Time?

The newspaper is now updated, and will continue to be updated in the near future.

Access to the Daily Bonus is now limited. 

While we understand this may be challenging for some of our lower level players, however we are confident that the community will be able to play as competitively as before while we work to keep the game current and exciting.

To spin the wheel with gold, click the Spin in the newspaper. An image is included below of where to find this. 

The Daily Spin is accessible with the blue bar. If you do not have access, then you will not have a blue bar. See the image below for more details.  

How Do I Craft Items In The Time Lab?

How do I complete the first quests for the new Time Lab? 

Click the Time Lab Icon on the right to open the Time Lab.

Once you have found the fragments needed from playing scenes, you can click 'Start Crafting.'

Why Can't I Find All The Items In My Inventory In Gardens Of Time?

It has come to our attention that some veteran players, who have a large number of items in their inventory, have had difficulty loading into game. Specifically, they get stuck on a never-ending loading screen and cannot get past the hourglass - even after exhausting all basic troubleshooting steps (clear cache, etc.)

If you are one of these players, please know that your items have NOT been deleted or removed, they are simply no longer visible. To access items stored beyond the 4,000 visible slots, you will need to make room by removing some items currently displayed. 

Please note that some items do not fall into a specific category tab in your inventory. You may need to search for the item under 'All.' The Medieval Tower is one example of a building you will only find under the 'All' tab.

Each page is a node on the Time Lab Handbook.  Some 'pages' are harder to repair than others. For example, the very first one, that rewards energy, requires that you work on it two times. (1 Red Glass, 1 Blue Glass) and then again (1 Red Glass, 1 Blue Glass).

You can tell your progress on the page, by looking at the meter on the right hand side. In this image, the player is almost done with the very first page.

What Is The Story Of The Time Lab In Gardens Of Time?

As the story goes..

Quincy discovers some musty maps of the old Time Manor, and discovers a basement that had been walled over long ago. The Time Society, while well-traveled, had lost much of the information regarding the foundation and early technology of the Time Society. 

What has been discovered..

The basement is a veritable treasure trove of lost academic journals, inventions and schematics. Most interestingly, there is information on some of the prototype Time Gardens!

The old research lab is in quite the disarray either with an experiment gone awry, or a malicious attack. We think we can track down some of the missing pieces to puzzle together the lost history of the Time Society. One of these handbooks appears nearly intact.  Keep your eyes peeled for missing fragments while you are on about your business, and report back to Quincy in the Time Lab with your findings!

Sometime later..

Reading through the handbooks you have helped him put together, Quincy determines that this contraption is an early prototype of the Time Machine, quite possibly the first! We are not sure where this Time Machine leads; its controls seem primitive, but functional. If we could locate the tokens required to operate it, we may be able to travel to new places!

After a little more reading, the tokens appear to be an award for trusted time agents - most likely to keep the junior staff and interns from getting into too much trouble. These tokens can be created by a seasoned explorer such as you. We believe your Handbook has a page on how to create tokens, you may need to repair it with fragments to unlock it. 

This token-activated device will send you to different scenes, some of which are inaccessible by your primary time machine. Due to its use in the destruction of the lab, you will likely find more lab fragments while searching with the Time Mechanism.

As a brave and seasoned Time Society member, use the Time Mechanism to explore time and collect missing fragments!

Secondary Objectives

Life continues as normal, and while your help with the Time Mechanism is requested, we understand if your duties as a Time Society agent outweigh this new opportunity. You can choose not to participate, but there are many agents ready to assist Quincy, and in one month�s time, there will likely be no more work left to do on this project.

There will be great items to unlock. The Handbooks show a lost rose, frozen in time under glass. Assisting Quincy will likely lead to this timeless rose, and to the very first Time Garden.

What Does Paradox Detected Mean?

The Paradox Detected message appears when:

Another window of the game is open

Your time or date is set incorrectly on your computer

If you see the Paradox Message detected; check you computer's clock time and set it to auto-update. Make sure that the date and time are correct. Then, close all windows of the game, expect for one, and refresh that game window.

Trade stamps with neighbors

Earn Stamps by completing challenges

Purchasing Stamps from the Shop

We will go over each in detail, but first you need to know how to navigate your Stamp Book.

To start, click on the mailbox outside of your garden. This is where you will go to decorate your album, to collect new stamps, and to see how much reputation your stamps are earning you. You can click on your neighbors? mailboxes too!

- Your album comes with one stamp to start.

- Go ahead and click on that stamp to see your stamp grid.

            - Because some stamps are rarer, or harder to collect, they are worth much more reputation!

            - To start, you have one page in your stamp album.

Edit Mode

Enter edit mode by clicking on any stamp.

You can use Edit Mode to move, store, or sell stamps, just choose the tool from the toolbar you want to use.

My Album ? Where you can place stamps and earn reputation

Get More -  Where you can view challenges that will award you stamps when completed.

Only stamps placed in the My Album tab will earn reputation. Stored stamps do not earn reputation, because no one can see them!

Stamp Trading

You can trade stamps with other players! Whether you find you need a smaller stamp to fit in nooks and crannies of a full album, or if want a stamp with higher reputation, or simply want one you think is beautiful, you can do that with Stamp Trading. 

Putting your Stamps up for Trade

To trade a stamp, you first need to choose a stamp you are willing to trade from your inventory.

If the stamp is not in your inventory yet, you will want to go back to your album, store it, then click the Trade tab again.

On the trade tab, click the inventory envelope. We are going to choose the Hourglass V that we started with. You can see in this inventory that the stamp is 2x2 squares large, and worth 7,200 reputation (This is just an example amount, real values may be different).

Click the stamp you want to trade, then place it anywhere on the page. When a friend visits you, they can go to your mailbox and see what stamps you have for trade.

They can choose any stamp that they have, and trade you for the one you put up. Currently, there is a limit so that stamps have to be roughly similar in value to trade. You can?t trade beginning stamp in trade for a really rare stamp.

Looking for other player?s Stamps

The reputation value of the stamps in the booklet set is written next to the crown icon on the set. This is the total value of all of the stamps in that booklet.

In this example, we have purchased the Sleepy Panda set. It may take a moment for this message to appear while the stamps are being delivered to your inventory.

You can also purchase more pages for your album by clicking the Album tab in the Stamp Shop. 

Questing for Stamps

You can earn individual stamps by completing special challenges. Click the 'Get More' tab to see what challenges you can do. Some examples would be: visiting neighbors, earning stars, and placing gifts in gardens.
