Leveling up animal families[]

Families must be complete before you can start leveling them up. When a family is complete, the coin symbol that pops up when an animal is ready to be collected will change from the standard blue to purple.

You level up families by paying Coins - in return, the family produces more Experience and your Village Score increases. Each time a family is leveled up, the amount of experience that family produces increases by 10% of the amount the complete family gives out at level 1.

After each 10 levels (this may change depending on how much the animal can be leveled up), the color of the coin symbol that pops up when a family is ready for collection changes (blue, green, gold, orange). The max level is 50, though some animals have fewer. Beaky Birdie, Sloth, Dilophosaurus, Beaver, and Piranha only go up to level 10.

The price to level up and the amount of time it takes increases with each level. It may cost less or take less time for VIP players - the following is based on non-VIP status. The cost for levelling up a family varies.

Most acorn animals, the base cost upgrade cost in coins is equal to 50 times their purchase price in acorns. For each additional level, the cost goes up about 3.4%, resulting in the upgrade from level 49 to 50 costing exactly 5 times the upgrade cost from level 1 to 2. This makes the total upgrade cost equal to about 122 times the base cost.

Most animals which cost coins have a base upgrade cost equal to one quarter their purchase price. The amount it increases each level is only about 1.45%. This results in the upgrade from level 49 to 50 costing only twice the upgrade cost from level 1 to 2 (for a total cost of about 71 times the base cost).

It is possible to Rush the timer by paying Acorns .

(Upgrade cost was computed for a variety of acorn creatures, specifically tracking Quetzal across the first 40 levels. For coin animals, upgrade costs in the mid-20s were studied for Acrotholus, Allosaurus, Cacops, Dracorex, Giganotosaurus, Gray Spiky Fish, Mutty, Pterodaustro, Purple Troodon, Salamander, and Wolverine -- all of which have a base upgrade cost of at least 10 million Coins . There may be exceptions to the general pattern.)

Time required to reach the next level for acorn families (except the Piranha) and select coin families[]

1 30 sec 8 45 min 15 24 hr (1 day)
2 1 min 9 1 hr 16 48 hr (2 days)
3 3 min 10 2 hr 17 72 hr (3 days)
4 5 min 11 4 hr 18 96 hr (4 days)
5 10 min 12 6 hr 19 120 hr (5 days)
6 15 min 13 8 hr 20 144 hr (6 days)
7 30 min 14 12 hr 21 - 49 168 hr (1 week)


For these families, the number of hours required to level up is maxes out at level 21. In total, it takes about 7 months to go from level 21 to 50. Add about 1 month for the first 20 levels and that means it takes about 8 months total for a standard acorn family.

Once an acorn family takes 7d to upgrade one level, it may seem like a poor investment in time. Considering just a single level upgrade, it costs 7d to do the upgrade and you are rewarded with only 10% additional experience. It will take 70d after the upgrade is finished before that 10% bonus pays for the experience lost during the upgrade.

However, if you consider the entire upgrade sequence, upgrading makes much more sense because the time spent recovering overlaps. Upgrading from level 15 to level 50 takes 224 days. At the end of that upgrade sequence, the family will be earning 2.4 times as much experience at level 50 than they did at level 15. This means that you will recover your investment in 160 days.

So if you are going to be playing the game for at least a year, it makes sense to spend the first half of the year upgrading families and the second half recovering. After a year, you will profit greatly.

For the remaining coin families that don't follow this table, the level at which they max out at 168 hours varies. For example, the black bear, hare, gorilla, dire wolf, wolverine families reached that around levels 6-8. Those families would take about 11 months in total to reach level 50. You will still recover costs after another 6 months have passed.
