    Hello to everyone!
    I have purchased a caterpillar to complete Smurfette's quest, after the quest had been completed the little star in a circle has appeared on the beach, I touched it, received 500 XP, but I can't find a caterpillar anywhere in my village…. Maybe someone knows how to fix this problem and how to find a caterpillar?
    Thank you for your help!

  2. Maggie says:

    I have smurfs village on my droid incredible phone but have noticed there are items missing that other people have on their ipads…such as the beach and the smurf that allows you to put hats on other smurfs. I am on level 30 so are these just not available on the droids?

    • Smurfette says:

      Unfortunately, the Android version is really far behind. While the iOS version has updates every 4 to 6 weeks I do not think there has even been one update for Android yet. So at the moment all those items and features are not available for Android users

  3. Aaron says:

    My smurf village hangs at the orange beeline screen when I open the app. Have tried everything but keeps hanging. Waited 40mins, rebooted, resynced…. I don't want to delete the app and reinstall for fear of losing the village. Any ideas anyone?

    • Smurfette says:

      Unfortunately if you have tried all of the above, the only thing you can do is to wait for Beeline to fix it. (If you decide to reinstall the game, please only do so if you have your village either backed up via iTunes or Game Center, otherwise you might loose it.)

  4. kira says:

    marco smurf is in my friends village, how do i get him back? I've been in there village & came back 2 mine but i don't think he's back yet?

    • Handy_Smurf says:

      Every 24 hours, there will be a blue medal next to one of your friends village, this means that YOUR marco smurf is in there village and you can click on him (in your neibours village) and a message will appear saying that he got you a gift and meet him back in your village for a surprise, hope this helps

  5. kira says:

    hey how come the smurfs game doesn't alert me once my crops are done, or when a quest is finished with the NEW smurfs update? I don't like it, how do i fix it, i need the smurfs to go off so i no when there done.

  6. Wannabe Smurf says:

    My notifications are all on, and the sound is turned up, but I no longer seem to be getting sound notifications (i.e. no jingle when crops are ready or smurfs return from the forest, etc.). This only started happening after the Halloween upgrade. The rest of the game works with sound: I get the normal music and noises from the smurfs when I click on them.

    • Handy_Smurf says:

      I Also had this problem and i turned my device on and off and the sound came back for notification.

    • Alain says:

      Unfortunately this was a bug in the last update, we headr from many people that they got the notification problem, not occurs only form the halloween upgrade but also if you you are using iOS 5. But try to double check that the notifications are on when you to go to main menu-> options-> Notification, if they are on check out the your iphone or iPad notification if you go to ->settings->, notifications and double check they are not deactivated. If they are on and you still don't get notifications try to reboot your iDevice (switch it off completely and then turn it on) this will help to work out 90% of the problems.

  7. Woosy says:

    I hope I am not asking again, but there are so many places to write but have not gotten any answer yet….

    How do you take a picture of the village that Papa asks for???

    Appreciate some help.

    Woosy

    • Alain says:

      Woosy .
      in the main menu tap the hammer on your right hand side it will take you to the shop. On top of the shop menu you will see a camera on the navigation menu , just tap it and you will be able to take screenshots.
      Ps. Please do ask ask many question as you want, we put this website to share our experiences of smurfs village game.

      • Woosy says:

        Alain,

        THANK YOU SOO very much. Your instruction works like a charm.

        I know who to go to if I have any more questions from now on. I really appreciate the prompt response also as I have posted in different site and did not get anything until you responded.

        Appreciate it.

        Have a great weekend.

        Woosy

  8. Amanda says:

    When ever I play the smurfs on my ipad when I am not connected to the Internet, when I am at home and reconnected to wifi my village reverts back to what was there last time I was connected to the Internet. I have lost about 2 days worth of work. Is there anyway to stop this happening?

    • Smurfette says:

      Normally it should ask you which village you want to continue and then you can overwrite your online saved version with the local one. Make sure that you have completly closed the App before opening it with Internet connections (that is closed in the multitask bar). That should solve your problem, because than it should always aks you which village you want to play

  9. Joanne says:

    After apple update totally lost smurf's village app! Now what? Can't bring myself to start over.

  10. Anne says:

    Sorry, I want to say one hour later!

  11. Anne says:

    Mr. or Mrs.,

    Please help me!

    In my country we have “summer time”, so since last saturday our clock is one hour earlier (for example, today at 7 am our clocks is 8 am). After that, my village is a little crazy…. Sometimes the time advances 3 hours and my crops just wittered….

    Somebody knows what is happen??

    • Smurfette says:

      Just make sure you have set the clock on your device to the correct time for your country, then best to restart your device, that should help with your troubles.

  12. Paul says:

    After the update of IOS 5 i don't haven any sound at smurfs village when crops are ready. Is this a bug?

  13. Todd says:

    I can't believe I'm stuck on something so simple. Level 30, Papa asks me to buy a lantern for some festival. I can't find a lantern. All I tried was the lampposts or streetlights and bought 20 of them. What am I missing?

  14. Jenna says:

    I suddenly have 2 papa smurf, 2 smurfettes, 2 baby smurfs, 2 joker smurfs 2grouchy smurfs, and a lot more smurfs walking in my village than before. I now have a total of 45 in stead of 34. It started in lvl 16, and they don't go away. Help?

  15. Marije says:

    How to uograde papa's house?

  16. Rich says:

    Hello, I installed the game onto my ipad 2 about a week back. After a few days the sound has stopped working in the game, no sound at all. Tested the ipad's sound (works), turned ipad on and off (still no smurf village sound), removed and installed the game (still no sound in game). I'm out of ideas here, don't know what else I can try. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    • Smurfette says:

      I have not heard about that issue yet. You are sure you have not accidentally turned of the sound in settings? If it is on, the only thing I can advise about is to contact Beeline (support@beeline-i.com)

      • bbult says:

        I just had the same thing happen to me. The sound works on my ipad for everything else but this Smurfs game and the sound is ON in settings. It used to work up until about 2 days ago.

        • Crystalsmurf says:

          I'm having the exact same problem and was hoping I'd find more info on this problem but it doesnt seem to be posted anywhere…has anyone got any other suggestions?

          • Smurfette says:

            Not really, besides restarting your device an making sure sound is on (and not just in the settings of the game, but also in the settings of your device) I have no solution for this

  17. Mouse says:

    I had upgraded papas house before the quest came. But alchemist smurf is still asking for the upgrade. I don't have the option anymore. What do I do?

    • Smurfette says:

      I have heard from a couple of people who are having this issue. Unfortunately I do not know a solution to that. The only thing I can come up with is to make sure you press "okay" and not "Cancel" or "Not Now" on the task window. Other than that, it is possible that it might not get fixed before the next game update.

  18. M@ndy says:

    Please help :-) Can I download the game on both my iPad and iPhone? Will it be the same game? Or a different one on each device?

    • Smurfette says:

      It will be a different game on each device, however, if you connect your village to GameCenter and log into the same account on both devices, you can play the same village on iPhone and iPad

  19. Danny says:

    I'm level 33 and papasmurf is telling me to take a photo of the village? What to do? Please help :)

  20. eugenia says:

    i have ipodtouch, and after the update my smurf village app doesn't work anymore. i click on it, it opens and after the orange screen it closes back. can you do something for it? thanks

  21. jeremy says:

    Papa smurf wants me to harvest some ingredients for Greedy's salad. A crop of Radishes, a crop of Green Peppers, and a crop of lettuce. I've planted and harvested them all 3 times but the quest is never complete? Can you help?

    • Smurfette says:

      You have to plant and harvest them in the right order and at the same time, that is start with letuce, then 6 hours before the letuce is ready, plant radishes, and 5 min before they are ready plant the Green Peppers, then harvest them in the exact same order

  22. jeremy says:

    to mix a green potion you have to "add" a color. How do you do that? It breaks every time I try to drag and drop.

    • Smurfette says:

      First of all, please do not double post, you posted the same question three times. Every comment gets moderated and answered, but it might take some time, so please be patient. For your question. On the top shelf there are three flasks of potions. Usually they are transparent, but when it says add one gets solid. You have to touch it and drag it to the big bottle, then release. That is about it

  23. mysoz says:

    after the updates my smurfs village keeps lagging, and it took ages for it to act….its so frustrating. I reboot my iphone and its still the same… :(

    • Smurfette says:

      It is something that many people are experiencing at the moment and I do not think that you can do anything about it. The way it looks at the moment we will have to wait for a fix from Beeline

  24. Gilu says:

    I can't enter the game since updated the most recently version ( with Marco sumrf one), all crop going to withered T T

    • Smurfette says:

      Unfortunately the server issue Beeline is having prevents the game to connect online and it will mean your crops and flowers will wither, there is nothing you can do about it at the moment

  25. May says:

    how to harvest a shrub of acorns??

  26. Anna says:

    I lost my papa surfs house when I updated it, how I can recover it?????
    Help plzzzzzzz

  27. Wulan says:

    I received gifts from my friends, but when i opened there's nothing inside it :( is it possible? Why?

    • Smurfette says:

      This usually happens if your friends have updated to the latest version and are now giving you one of the new gifts, that you do not yet have. You should update your game, then you will get the gifts again

  28. karin says:

    After the update i lose my filmhouse :( i was verry happy with it how can i get it back?

  29. Wonny says:

    Did everyone loose the cinema in the latest update?

  30. 007Smurfette says:

    Day and Night mode
    Although I have set the day and night mode ON. It's now 10 o'clock in the evening and its still day mode in my game.
    When will it go to night mode?

    • Smurfette says:

      The Day and Night mode is not connected to the local time of our devices, but seems to be connected to the PST time zone, that means it might get dark when it is day for you (depending on were you live). I hope this will get fixed, but at the moment there is nothing you can do about it

    • 007Smurfette says:

      I was thinking about that, when I updated the last version this morning, it was in night mode, hum, OK thank you very muche for your reply. I hope that the makers will realise that there are smurf fans all over the world :-)

  31. Jan says:

    I am sloop tired of Tailor Smurf taking my money and not putting the selected hat on a Smurf. I try to follow the instructions but it just doesn't work! Pls can anyone help?

    • Smurfette says:

      You have to tap on tailors hat, then there at the bottom is a button with yarn and a needle, tap on that, and after that you will return to the normal screen, now choose a smurf (who is not working) and the inventory windows pops up. Then you can give the Smurf any of the hats you want him to.

    • Agr says:

      Hi! You have to chiose smurf that is not working!

  32. mike says:

    My background items disappeared. I can see my houses and smurfs but no tress bushes or rivers. I can see and plant crops but the whole back ground is green please help….

    • Smurfette says:

      The first thing I would advice is to reboot your device, after it has been powered on again, just start the Smurf's Village App again, generally that helps and your village should be back to normal. If it does not help, please use the recover village tip to restore your village from a point were everything was still working fine. To get instructions on that, please read this section: http://www.mysmurfsvillage.com/smurfs-village-gui…

      • mike says:

        Thanks for the quick response I went up to fix it and my 5 year old son yelled to me dont worre dad its fixed now it came back by iteself…. It did but I think he might have done soemthing not sure what yet…..

  33. Nat says:

    I’ve completed the last level – should I continue to collect XP and coins? – XP doesn’t seem to be collating – got a lot of coins though.

  34. Melissa says:

    I cant buy any path? It will let me buy either the brown ones or the rock ones and place them but they disappear?

    • Smurfette says:

      That usually means you have reached the maximum number of paths available in your village, to place a new one, you will have to delete another one that is already in your village.

  35. Glteh says:

    I can't enter into the game anymore. Whenever I press 'play' the whole game shut down and I am back to my iPad main screen. Any help?

  36. Jodie says:

    When i try to play smurfs, it goes onto the menu and then pauses and then im back at my normal ipods homepage. It sucks because i really want to play my smurfs but i cant!!!! Please help? :(

  37. james says:

    papa smurf doesn’t have any ! above his head anyone help?
    haven’t got a challenge?

  38. KH Tan says:

    Papa Smurf wants me to grow cantaloupes in a quest at Level 37, however I do not have enough Smurfberry to purchase the Fruity Fun Pack. How can I get around this quest without having to buy Smurfberry?

    • Smurfette says:

      Sorry, there is no way to get around the quest. It is a bug, the producers/developers will fix this in the next update, so you can complete all the tasks again without having to use Smurfberries. Unfortunately, if you do not want to use Smurfberries, it means you have to wait for the next update to complete that task and get a new quest

  39. Charlie says:

    The game wont even sync to my ipod touch 3g says it's there but it's not?

    • Smurfette says:

      Try to turn your ipod off and on again, that usually helps with problems like that.

      • Charlie says:

        Still Not Working What Else Can I Do????? I've Restored It And Everything!

        • Smurfette says:

          If you have tried everything, including the restore village tip and restoring from an iTunes Backup, there is no way to get it back, if that did not work. But you can get your Smurfberries back if you have bought any, you have to contact Beeline Support (they are the creators) and they will restore them. Their email is support@beeline-i.com

          • Charlie says:

            Oh Thanks Im So Sad That It Wont Work This Could Happen To Other People To Anyway Thanks Alot.

          • charlie says:

            What Is A Bit Weird Though Im On The Same Computer As My Brother And Same Smurfs And It Works On His?

          • Smurfette says:

            It could be a problem with your ipod, have you tried installing the game from the AppStore on the ipod itself, and not via the computer.

          • charlie says:

            I Guess Thats A Good Idea But You Need WIFI And Mines Not Very Good…

    • Lindsey says:

      well… you plug your ipod touch to the computer then go in the app store (on the computer) and purchase the game.. it will download then

  40. Linda says:

    Hi

    My screen hang when I went visiting my friends n I accidentally banish some friends during the moment when my screen hang. How can I reinstate them in my friend list. I tried manage friends option but I can’t select their names. Please help

    Linda

    • Smurfette says:

      There is a bug with the latest update, normally if you go to manage friends there is a red circle next to the name of the friend (top right corner of the name). This red unbanish circle has become invisible, but it still works, just tap the right side of the name in the manage friends section and they should get unbanished

  41. Kim says:

    I can't delete a wooden bridge ?? I already put the concrete one up and it's built. So now I have that AND the little wooden beside it. Does anyone know why I cannot opt to delete it? Thxs!!

    • Smurfette says:

      The little wooden bridge can not be deleted (or moved), only the big one and the stone bridges.

      • Kim says:

        That makes no sense! Why won't they fix it so you can? Maybe they fix that in the next update! Ty for reply!

        • Smurfette says:

          I actually don't think they will, because it has been like that from the beginning, it is the same with the stone steps to the clifftop. The thing is, if you delete it and don't have a bridge there anymore, you can not access that area. You might want to contact Beeline Support and let them now that you want to delete the small bridge, maybe if enough people ask for it they will change it. Their support team can be reached at support@beeline-i.com

  42. Lsloman says:

    I have 8 caterpillars and only 3 give me xp. Do they stop producing after a while? Any help would be appreciated. Maybe they can be reset??

    • Smurfette says:

      They stop giving XP if you have used the time cheat (i.e. setting the clock ahead). If you did that and collected their XP at a future date, they will only give XP again if that date has arrived in real time.

  43. ctf says:

    I lost my papa smurf hut. i still have papa smurf, but no hut. i cannot complete tasks requiring potion!!!

    • RheaCarolina says:

      Try the Recover Village trick (tapping 16 times on Papa Smurfs Face in the Options Menu until a Recover Village button appears) and recover to a point where you still had Papa’s Hut. You might lose some progress, but at least you will get the hut back.

  44. Gjlh says:

    Logged in today and cannot scroll all the way to the left hand side any more, I can only get about two thirds of the way across. A rebot of the iPad does not help, also tried to load the same game on my iPhone and had the same problem. Anyone got any ideas?

  45. Bobo Bo says:

    hi, what mean by add three outhouses??

  46. stacy says:

    I am having problems getting on to he game with my ipod ! an I have also been at level 14 an when I went back to harvest I was back at level 1

  47. MadSmurf says:

    it happened to me before, you don't need to reboot the game center you need to reboot your iPhone it worked for me,

  48. Missy says:

    My Handy Smurf mini-game is stuck in the OUCH position. Pause, reboot GC doesn't fix it. Any help out there? I'm glad this isn't my favorite mini game but I miss the XPs from playing. Thanks!

  49. Donna says:

    My village does not let me know when my crops are ready any more. I have been into main menu and all notifications are on and have tried turning it off then on again. Please help all my crops are wilting.

    • Smurfette says:

      You might also want to make sure that you have allowed notifications on your device for the app, not just turn it on in the options menu of the game. If you are using iOS, go to Settings (on your device), Notifications and look for the Smurfs Game.

    • amy says:

      I had the same thing happen about two days ago. Now most of my village is gone. I went back down to 12 smurfs. And cannot get to expansions or island.

  50. Gabby says:

    Thank you for helping. So if i understand, my version does Not include the island/ship and so on? i do have to update in order to continue on. Thanx again !

  51. Gabby says:

    Thank you for responding, it appears i keep loosing my posts. So if i understand my version 1.0.5a does not have the island/ship and so on, i do need to update in order to move on? Thank you again.

  52. Brainy says:

    correct . If using apple device, do a back up (not sync) to itune before updating game. For Andoid, see there is an app that you can backup both app and data.

  53. Gabby says:

    Ok, i am using the Droid Incredible. Can you tell me if you know how i back up ? Iam not seeing any info on that.

  54. Brainy says:

    For android, each device provider has it's own backup app. Check with your device provider. I have Asus tablet and there is already Asus backup app on my tablet.
    Apple has itune backup.

  55. smurfet says:

    You may also recover last saved game by clicking the option on main menu then tap the face of papa smurf 16 times. Then recover game option Will show up. You'll see there dates of saved games and choose which game you would like to restore
