Tips and Tricks to Zoo World for Facebook

Brandon Miller
Zoo World is a fun and exciting game that lets players build and operate a virtual zoo, raise and train animals, and interact with their Facebook friends. The game is pretty straightforward to play, but here are some tips and tricks to get you on your way.

Understanding Your Report Card

The trick to Zoo World is understanding how the report card system works. The report card is broken down into six categories - worker happiness, cleanliness, parking, restrooms, food, and shopping. Each category will receive a grade from poor to excellent. The average grade among these categories will determine the overall grade for your zoo. The better your grade, the more happy visitors you will be able to attract.

Zoo World for Facebook Tip #1 - If you need to improve your zoo's report card grade, click on the shop tab. At the top of the screen, you will find all of the items that you need to purchase to improve your grade.

How to Get Extra Visitors

There are several factors that drive in visitors- zoo value, report card, and ticket price. As you add more exhibits and attractions, the value of your property increases. The more you have invested in your zoo, the more visitors will be interested in visiting. Next, your report card can have a great impact on your Zoo World establishment. While you may have a nice price tag on your property, visitors will be less likely to come if it lacks a proper amount of things such as parking, shopping, or restroom facilities. Finally, your ticket price can affect attendance. The ticket price system works just like the supply and demand model. If your prices are too high, fewer people will likely visit your zoo. If they are too low, you will have lots of visitors with little daily income. Your goal is to find the ticket price that brings in the greatest daily revenue.

Zoo World for Facebook Tip #2 - Some special achievements require you to reach a certain number of visitors in a single day. To pull this off easily, drop your ticket price to $1. This will cause a huge increase in your daily visitor flow.

Your Zoo World Animals

There are four types of animals in the game - common, uncommon, rare, and ultra-rare. Common animals are easy and cheap to acquire while ultra-rare animals may only be purchased using special Wildlife Points.

Zoo World for Facebook Tip #3 - Since many items in the game are unlocked based on the number of species you have purchased, try to acquire as many unique animals as possible.

Zoo World for Facebook Tip #4 - Every day, there is a hidden treasure to be found in your zoo. It will be hidden in one of your animal exhibits. Click on each animal until you have located the treasure.

Zoo World Achievements

To increase your level, you must complete a series of achievements. This should be the focus of your game play. As you increase your level, the size of your island will increase and more animals will become available. To see what achievements you still need to complete, click on the home tab.

The Benefits of Adding your Facebook Friends

Your Facebook friends will be your best allies while playing the game. First, you can hire your friends as zookeepers. This saves you from having to purchase virtual ones. In addition, you can give and receive tons of free items from your friends. Many of the items are special and cannot be purchased. This is also a great way to increase the value of your property without spending all of your coins.

Whether you are new to Facebook or an avid Facebook gamer, Zoo World is definitely a fun game to play. Hopefully, these tips and tricks will be useful to you. Good luck as you build and successfully run your own virtual world.

    Very cool! I see you have other articles about Facebook apps. How much time do you spend on there anyway? J/k lol

    I am breeding animals; mostly hard & expert. Now, it's required that I must breed medium to advance in levels. Which animals are listed as medium to breed?

    If you click on a link that says "Adopt " (EVEN A LINK THAT YOU HAVE PUT UP!), you'll get a message that you got it, that you were too late, or that you can't adopt your own found animals. Click OK. THEN - if you wait 10-20 seconds without refreshing that page, you will all of a sudden have an animal to give up for adoption. You can then re-click the same link over and over again to find another animal.

    I have a friend who was posting animals to adopt every few seconds. She posted about 70 in an hour. How did she do that?

    To find the Hidden Treasure you must visit a friends Zoo & just start clicking on each animal cage until you find it...It takes time but you will eventually find it....OR....BUY a Treasure Hunter for 100 Wildlife Points.

    Played this for a little while but haven't had a chance to really play it-didn't know about the hidden treasure (not that is cool)
