Messages in a bottle and Totem Pole
By
With version 1.1.8 (second island update for iOS) it is possible to get a message in a bottle. According to Beeline, it will wash ashore about once every week and give tasks, which, when completed within a week will give rewards. It was claimed earlier this week that few Smurfs’ village players were able to get their message in a bottle but most of them they have manipulated time (time cheat), which is not recommended. However many other players have just got the message in a bottle in their islands, with a list of quests.
According to our believed and Beeline representative Bethany Smith a message in a bottle will wash up on the shore of the island roughly every 168 hours (One week). When you tap on the Bottle you will be given several tasks that are chained together. You must complete all of the tasks within the six day time limit.

Once you have completed all the tasks, you will be given a gift. The gift could contain your first piece of the Totem Pole. If you don’t finish the tasks in the time allowed, you will have to try again when the next bottle appears.
The quests can be long where you will be asked for example to grow 123 Cantaloupes, or 123 tomatoes, but they are rewarding and you may get up 1000 gold Coins, as well as you can get a part of the totem pole. Many players are claiming that they could not place the part of totem pole (dog’s head) , it just disappeared after the gift was opened.
At the moment we are not sure how this works, but we think that you will not be able to place the totem pole until you will get all the parts.
The Totem Pole has been seen in screenshots and advertised by Beeline has a new feature that allows one to control the rain on the island.
Message in a Bottle quests glitches (V.1.1.8)
Many players are experiencing the latest in a series of glitches with the bottle quests, including me(Poet) and Brainy Smurf. For eg, one of your quests might be to harvest 50 eggplants. However, if you exit the game and come back to the island again, you might find that your quest has been changed to harvest 150 eggplants instead! Also, completing these bottle quests might not necessarily get you parts of the totem pole. Players have reported that some of the rewards are just gold and xp, or normal decorative stuff. We are hoping Beeline can rectify these glitches as soon as possible. – Poet Smurf
I’ve updated to 1.2.1, but currently only have 3 of 4 totum pieces. I’m now getting blueprints, etc. instead of the 4th totum piece. Does anyone know if I’ll ever receive the last piece of the totum or am I SOL? I really don’t want to spend sb’s on the totum if I don’t have to. Thank you!
Lost a smurf. I sent one smurf away for a message in a bottle request. Now the bottle has disapeared. Is my smurf lost now?
I have the same issue. I sent one of my smurfs on a raft. The smurf returned but the bottle was gone.
I got the MIAB today and started quest 1 which was to send a smurf out for 24hrs. After about two hours my smurf was back and when I looked the bottle has gone. Can you help! Any ideas ? Many thanks
hi! i already got the quest of the bottle where friends have to send me bolts. what does bolts means? and does the people sending me these bolts have to be friends from Facebook? what if i don't have any friends who play this?
How do we get sporty smurf ?!?!
Just build his Soccer Field. You can find it in the first and the fourth store (the hut tab and the star tab)
He is only available on the island.

I have some problems :
when my friend send me bolts I received them. But it did not appear in the clockwork blueprint. What can I do???
How to get sporty smurf??
Sporty Smurf's field is availlable in the shop on the island for 5000 coins.
The disappearing bolts are normal, it's a bug.
I have not got my message in the bottle yet
Did you complete Papa Smurf Quests? There must be a quest that asks you to tap on the bottle beside the dock. Did Papa Smurf ask you or you didn't reach this quest??
I'm on level 36 and have not had a MIAB how much longer do I have to wait? I have both iPhone and iPad doing smurfs, what level should we expect it?
I have completed numerous MIAB quests and still only have 2 pieces of the totem pole. How many do I have to complete?
You need to have 4 pieces. I only have one so you're not the only one who really wants to get a piece
Hi there! I've got the bottle on the island and was on my last quest to send four Smurfs out to explore with about a day left to finish for my Clockwork Smurf part. Now the bottle is gone from the shore and there's no sign of the Smurfs coming back from their adventure! Have I lost them for good?
You can try to bring your village back to a date before this happens you lose some work but it can be worth it (tap on papa smurf 16 times)
I have completed 10 message in the bottle tasks and have yet to receive one piece of the totem pole. I keep getting green wood benches, or the blue and brown changing rooms. What is going on?
I have yet to receive a bottle. What is going on?
You must be playing on ipod where device does not connect to internet all the time. Most ipod users have this problem.
I am playing on an ipod. but I am connected all the time.
hi,
I'm on android harmony smurf update, i 've never seen the bottle??? is it normal?
and I am always connected to fb. Is there a specific day/hour to get the bottle?
we only know the bottle arrives every week around 5pm on friday. Then we occasionally get the message "The bottle has arrived…." through out the week so it's hard to tell exactly. I think beeline pushes out the message from their game server.
Connect to game centre and it will work
On the island, papa smurf says to send out a raft for 24 hours. I have done that twice now and both times that the raft has returned, papa smurf doesn't register it. Any idea on how to fix this?
try to rebot your device and try again
Looks like I am not the only one who does not get the bottles. I've sent email to BEELINE for a few times but they never reply. I've seen Poet and Marco replied "Have you get the latest update?" or "Is it connected to Facebook or GameCenter?". I believe most of us have got the latest update and we are connected to facebook but still, no bottle wash ashore. Solution, anyone?
Please help! I have spent 4 days doing the bottle quest. I got the dogs head for the totem pole & went to place it, it disappears. Will it came back or will I have to do it again ?
The latest updates should have fixed that issue.
Thanks for your reply but that doesn't help me. Will it come back?
The same thing happened to me yesterday! Beeline, I want my dog head back!
I completed the task of 100 tomatoes and the the quest bottle disaapeared.
How do I get the bottle back.
Was that your last quest? Was there any reward?
hello. i wanna ask you. is message in a bottle special quest on ios device ? I never had miab show up! im using android phone.
I'm on level 28 I did the latest update, I have Architect Smurf. I received one MIAB and that was for the Clockwork Smurf blueprint. I go into the game everyday and nothing. I still have 4 out of 5 rafts. The fifth didn't reappear even after the latest update. I see it but can't use it. How do I start the MIAB quests?
add me if you want bolts masudasoofi786
How do I add you?
I am on level 26 now and wanted to report the problem I face with my game and finally found your site.
1)on my island,I have got 20smurfs which mean I should have 20 gardens but I have only 18 gardens and 1flower bedwhich doesn’t even display the flowers.its just empty
2)when I was in level 25 i think i kind of lost my village partly just coins n flower beds but I dint really bother because we can always earn coins back
3)I think I should have got my message bottle by now.I haven’t got it till date.
Hope you will look into my account and solve the necessary..
you should contact Belline about this instead support@beeline-i.com or on <a href="http://www.getsatisfaction.com/beeline_games” target=”_blank”>www.getsatisfaction.com/beeline_games
Why didnt I get the bottle? I have the island already. Please help!
My message in a bottle keeps appearing too close to the build button so I can't access it as every time I tap it the build menu opens instead. Grrrr
My wife had this, zoom right in on the bottle and you can then get it
It was friday, and I waited next to the iPad until it was 4:00 PM. I looked for the bottle, but it wasn't there!
SOMEONE HELP!!!!! I REALLY WANT TO DO THE QUESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadsmurf, 'm sorry to hear that, but the M.I.A.B should show up any other time, make sure you are connected to Game center or facebook..
I never received my miab till last week AFTER i connected to GC. I suggest you try it
Hey, I have got 3 pieces of the totem pole so far. What does it do when you collect all four peices exactly? Is it decoration or does it actually do something?!?!
you can control the rain with it.
When you have 3 pieces , you need one more to control the rain , but how will i get the last one, i have Now 2 bottle quests finished and i only get two green chairs
You wait for the next bottle quest.
I already wait two times and two times I get two green chairs
I get chairs from bottle quests too so no way telling what u will get.
Im having the same
Problem. And the bottle quest has moved on from totem pole to clockworks.
How long does the message in a bottle stay? I got a notification that one had washed ashore but when I went into the game it wasn't there. I didn't get the notification right away. I have updated to the latest version so thought the bugs would be gone.
the M.I.A.B is programmed to take a week, so theoretically will stay until next Friday. There is no specific rule to get the MIAB If it has disappeared, but try to log out from your game center and facebook and try to log in to your game center and see if it shows up or not. It worked for me once.
I am on level 26. I am having many of the same problems with the message in the bottle. I can see the bottle but when I tap it it doesn't do anything! Any advice or suggestions?
I’m on level 23. I keep getting a notification saying “Message in a bottle has washed up ashore”, but I can’t see the message. I haven’t gotten any Totem pole parts yet either.
Thank you.
I can see the bottle when I visit my island but when I click on it I can’t get any quests and this only started happening after I updated the app. How can I fix this ?
I don't get the bottle and i updated the game a long time ago help
I have never had a Message in the bottle, I have updated my game 2 days ago and still nothing. What do you have to do to get a bottle? I will need it fixed before I can complete the Blueprint things!!
Me too, never had it and I'm on level 34.
I can see the bottle, but when pressing on it nothing happens. Level 28
I have a bottle in the sea but when I click on it nothing happens
I’m unable to access the bottle washed up ashore on my island. I had been doing the quests associated with the bottle but after one of the updates it’s no longer working. Very annoying getting the message a bottle washed up and can see the bottle but can’t access it .
You need to report to Beeline.
But Beeline never reply after a month or so!!!
I have the same problem and cannot get the message or anything from the bottle. How do we solve this?
wait and se if this new update fix your problem
My MIAB has NEVER appeared! Is this just for me or is it a bug? What can I do for it to appear? I'm level 46, max, got a lot of SB and would really like to have my MIAB…
='(
I am level twenty six have had the island for a while now but have yet to see a message in a bottle
I also have an accomplished island and have updated the app for my iPhone several times since this has come out and I travel to my island several times daily but have yet to see a bottle
You can either wait for the next update or report it to Beeline.
I’m leve 29 and I haven’t got any message in the bottle yet. Is there a problem with my island? I don’t what is the problem. Please help:))
Have u gotten the latest update?
My bottle doesn’t has exclamation mark on top of it and I can press it too. Is this a bug?
I mean I can’t press it. Sorry for the typo
I just completed a quest task and the bottle is still there but I can't click on it either!
This problem started in latest update. We dont know why and dont have any workaround for it. You can post the problem to beeline get satisfaction page https://getsatisfaction.com/beeline_games
I have the same problem!
It could be a bug. Have you gotten the latest update?
Yes I did. I guess this is a bug that come from the last update
Snap. I have the same problem. Bottle in water with no exclamation mark. If you touch it a blue square appears round it but nothing else! So annoying.
After completing the 1st part of the quest and going for the 2nd i cant click on it as there is no quest(the bottle is still floating there with no light on it)
Same thing here
I can't get the message in a bottle even though I'm on level 32- any ideas
Have u done the latest update?
I am on level 26 and I still do not gets the bottles HELP!!!
Please report this to Beeline.
tengo la botella en la isla pero no puedo acceder a ella. no se abre ningún mensaje cuando la toco a pesar de recibir los avisos previamente……
Mande un mensaje a beeline. Es un glitch y estamos Esperando un update. Perdon mi espanol
I did the update yesterday and I have the bottle on the Island. I completed two tasks. But now when I click on the bottle I just get a blue square around the bottle ( like when you moving things). How do I get pass this?
You need to report to Beeline. support@beeline-i.com
Hi,
I’m on level 42 & since last 2 updates (both in the last few days) my MIAB is sitting on the shore of my island, but when I click on it a blue square surrounds it but nothing happens, no message or quest
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Report this to Beeline.
I just downloaded the new update a few minutes ago and I am still having problems with the message in a bottle. It says I have one but it is very far out in the ocean and I cant click on it. I see it when the ship arrives on the island but there is no way to get it. Please help!!!
This sounds like an bug and ther is nothing that we can do about it you can try to contact Beeline and se if they can help you. support@beeline-i.com
why i dont have bottle ??
You dont get the bottle message or you get the bottle message but dont see the bottle ?
In order to see the bottle, you need an established island. You need to get to the island if you haven't already done so.
I’m on level 32 and have never received a M.I.A.B. How can i check what is wrong?
It could be a bug. You might have to either report this to Beeline or wait for the next update to fix this.
This us only for apple users right? Android people don't get mib's?
Android players should be getting the bottle quests too.
I have a message in bottle quests that says Let's cheer grouchy up be growing his favourite food. Send one raft for 24 hours. I have sent a raft out twice for 24 hours and couldn't complete the task, I then sent the 24 hr raft that cost 2 smurfberries which didn't work either. I have also grown at least 30 of every cropon the island. I can send the other 24 hr raft cause I am not at level 34 yet. Please help I thought I would get a new task when I ran out of time but I just got some more time……. Totally frustrated
Grouchy's favorite food isn't a crop, it's just a story why you need to send a raft.
The rafts issue are still a work in progress by Beeline for those experiencing this bug. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do but wait for future updates or news from Beeline.
Hi,
I have the same problem : the bottle quest was to send a raft for 24 hours which I did. It came back this morning but the quest is not complete ! I only have about 3 days left and I am on the second quest because when I got the notification about the bottle, several hours had already passed (I had 5 days and 10 hours left) ! Any news about these 2 bugs ?
Thanks
Try to send out a raft again and be sure that you xchoose the right raft and is there 3 days left its possible to finich the questions before the times goes out
I never get the chellange bottle, and im in level 31, why?
You could be facing a bug….and you need to report this to Beeline.
