How to Build a Dam on Your Smurfs Village Island
Posted by: | Comments
Although Beeline’s recent update 1.1.8 features fresh new content and items, its additional bugs can be a hassle. Players that are level 24 or higher with an island will receive a new quest from Papa Smurf to build a dam. This quest is associated with an annoying bug that will remove your dam after it’s built if not placed correctly. Many players have lost their dam along with their coins or invested Smurfberries due to this minor glitch. Currently, Beeline is working on finding the solution to the ‘disappearing dam’ dilemma but until it’s resolved players have to be careful when tackling this quest.

The dam quest is part of the update’s free land expansion for the island. Once completed players will have double the space. Unfortunately like in life, nothing is really free. Constructing your dam can be costly and equally time consuming if not done correctly. If you swipe your screen to the left a river flowing right through your island is visible. Handy Smurf will randomly stumble across plans for an old dam and Papa Smurf will delegate a special quest to build the new dam on the river.
Building a dam seems like an easy task but due to the glitch if any decoration items, rocks, mushroom houses, or crops are near the river once built the dam will automatically disappear. So, before you tap into the building menu to purchase and place the dam clear out the area near your river. It will save you a lot of grief later on down the line. Go into the build menu, tap the move icon, and begin clearing the land around the river. You’ll want at least half an inch of space going down the banks. It’s essential that nothing is placed at the opening of the river where the dam will be placed. If it is, you’ll lose your dam.

Once cleared, players can go into the build menu and select the dam. It costs 8,000 coins. Move the item over the river until an outline of where the object is supposed to go appears. Simply tap to place it. The dam takes about 168 hours for the Smurfs to build. Players with extra berries to blow can speed up the construction process for 29 Smurfberries. For those who have Hefty Smurf back in their main village, the time for construction is reduced to about 84 hours and can be speed up by using 15 smurfberries. Since the dam is somewhat unreliable, I don’t recommend using your SBs. Many of the users that had problems keeping their dam that used that technique ended up losing all of their Smurfberries. It’s not really worth it unless you absolutely have no patience, but be warned. It’s a risky investment.
Some users started experiencing problems after they successfully built their dam and began placing items on their new isle. It’s still unknown why the dam disappears and until the bug is resolved it’s best to avoid placing items that you may need to access in that area. Try to keep your crops, functional decorative items, and any other item that you wouldn’t want to lose on the right side of your island.

Dreamy Smurf
Posted by: | Comments
Captain Dreamy Smurf and his ship, the S.S. Dreamy II. are part of the expansion to the island and Dreamy smurf is one of the free special smurfs who was added in version 1.1.7
To get Dreamy Smurf, Papa Smurf’s previous storyline quests have to be done and then at level 19 a long quest line will start that will in the end give you Dreamy Smurf and his ship.
After Dreamy has been send out for a couple of adventures, he will find the island and he, Brainy and Papa Smurf can from that point onwards, visit it.
Starting Your Smurf Island
Posted by: | Comments
In the new 1.1.7 update of Smurfs’ Village players at level 19 or higher are introduced to Dreamy Smurf and the S.S. Smurf II ship. Once unlocked, users are able to travel to a remote island where they can start a second village. Although these additions to the game are extremely exciting it will require a large amount of coins and time in order to start your own smurf island. This guide will help you in the process of transitioning from the mainland to the tropics.
Whether you’re beyond level 19 or nowhere close, it’s important to prepare early. Everything on the Island will cost twice as much including select crops. Players need a minimum of 50,000 coins before venturing into the high seas. I started out with a little over 56,000 coins and regretted not having more. Boost income by growing short length crops that have higher coin profits. A few good crops that quickly earn for less are raspberries, blackberries, and brussel sprouts. Blueberries are a time-tested favorite for generating free coins. When you’re actively playing try to plant as many as you can. Another excellent method to attain wealth is by growing golden corn. Anyone who has purchased the harvest wagon in the Smurf Shop will have access to this specialty crop. Golden corn yields a 154 coin profit per plot. It takes 10 hours to ripen allowing players the opportunity to plant them twice a day. Special items like the wishing well and clothes line are also considered great extras to have when accumulating coins.
Papa Smurf will be delegating several long winded quests in order to stumble across Dreamy Smurf and set up the island. For players who hate to wait days to complete a task I recommend investing in a bushel of 50 Smurfberries to speed up the process of setting up your island. It’s not necessary, though. Coins and patience will suffice. In the beginning of this epic quest players will have to continuously send out smurfs to search deep within the forest. The first time they will spot the S.S. Smurf II, and then a search party is sent to find Dreamy Smurf. After the arrival of Dreamy Smurf, he’ll adventure off on a few solo trips and find angry sea turtles. Users are asked to play the Miner’s Mini-Game to gather some metal for a compass. It takes a couple more trips before the Island is finally found. Once located, Papa Smurf, Captain Dreamy, and Brainy Smurf will hop aboard the S.S. to visit the island. A quick tap on the ship starts the voyage.

The first task on the empty isle is to add a smurf hut. Go ahead and plant several. You’ll need the smurfs later. Adding garden plots to allow farming is next. Similar to when you first started out in Smurfs’ Village space on the island is limited. Players begin with a small area of grassland and sand that can be expanded as they progress. An integral part of island life is exploring. Many of the quests will require players to send their smurfs out to explore the sea and search for supplies. Papa Smurf will request users to build a rafting hut and to send out a raft. Multiple rafts can be owned but it requires players to upgrade their raft hut. Although the hut only costs 400 coins to build, to upgrade it takes 10,000 coins and the price doubles each time. It’s wise to have at least two rafts or more at your disposal since quests will often come from multiple smurfs that might need to set sail.
While strolling through the tropical paradise, Slouchy and Brainy Smurf will make the decision to move to the island. The next few quests will involve building their homes and harvesting crops. The crops are slightly different. New varieties like Eggplant and Honeydew require longer growth periods and are more expensive, but they generate high amounts of XP. Players will need about 20-22 garden plots when starting their island. Harvesting quests are often for celebrations or parties like a BBQ.

Remember, your main village will still have quests and need upkeep. A tap on the S.S. Smurf II ship will take players back and forth between both smurf locales. This new feature will require users to continually build and manage both villages. Papa Smurf, Dreamy Smurf, and Brainy Smurf will be commuting. The population on the island is counted separate from the main village. Players have to slowly re-populate the island as they expand it. A player’s level, coins, XP, and Smurfberries stay the same.
When you have a handful of mushroom homes, a decent size garden going, and at least two rafts connected to your hut your island is well on its way.
How to find Dreamy Smurf and How to get to the Island !
Posted by: | Comments
In order to get to the Island you have first to find Dreamy Smurf (at least level 19 or higher is required for that). He comes to your village after quite a few (and long) quests from Papa Smurf which start with searching for mint.. After that there will be even longer quests taking Dreamy on adventures. On his third adventure he will find the island and you can travel to it. Without using Smurfberries to complete these quests it might take sometime between a week or two to get to the island.
The following quests have to be completed:
- Send 2 Smurfs into the forest for 12 hours
- Send 2 Smurfs into the forest for 24 hours
- Send 5 Smurfs for 5 hours to find Dreamy Smurf
- Send Dreamy on an adventure for 24 hours
- Play Miner Smurf’s Mini Game (to get metal for the compass)
- Send 3 Smurfs into the forest for 24 hours to gather magnetic rock
- Send Dreamy Smurf on an adventure for 72 hours
- Send Dreamy Smurf on an adventure for the third time for 72 hours
- Smurf to the island
Smurfs’ Village version 1.1.7. is live
Posted by: | Comments
Beeline has just released the massive 1.1.7 update for Smurfs’ Village for Apple iOs Devices (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch), and should be released on the Android market as well but no exact date was given for that. This is the largest update for the game since it debuted in 2010. Judging by the preview screenshots released this week; and preliminarily tests we run today, players should expect a lot of additional content and welcomed changes. Those users who’ve been praying for the snow in their village to disappear will finally get their wish. It’s all about beach fun this time around. An extension along the shoreline will add an island tropical feel to the game. A boat building feature, ship dock, rafts, and the infamous S.S. Smurf II from the third season of the cartoon will become regular fixtures of the game.
Several new characters including Slouchy Smurfling, Sassette, and Captain Dreamy Smurf were added. If you wonder how to find the island you need first to reach at least level 19 onwards and you need to have the beach. After couple of quests Papa Smurf will ask you to send two smurfs to the forest where they will find the S. S. Smurf II Ship and Captain Dreamy. Captain Dreamy Smurf will be making the biggest impact on the game. He’s the captain of the S.S. Smurf II ship. After handy miner smurfs get the compass for Captin Dreamy you will get the Ship ready in the dock and the adventure will start. You will be able to get to the island by tapping on the ship papa smurf and Brainy will follow Dreamy smurf in his adventure all the time .
Slouchy Smurf, who’s notorious for his less than enthused laid back attitude he is available in the shop and costs 2000 coins. Sassette is the second female smurf to join the village. She was created from the same enchanted formula Gargamel used to form Smurfette, she is also available in the shop but it costs 30 smurfberries. These extra characters make the game feel more like the original series. Tons of cool décor items, four new levels, and sea turtles, gecko, were also added. Larger more decorative mushrooms, palm trees, tall red rose vines, green lifesavers, straw umbrellas, blankets, pink seashells, fountains, hammocks, sand buckets, colored bamboo fences, outhouses, beach balls, and mushroom huts are just some of the items which are also available in this update.
Exotic crops like honeydew melons, canary yellow melons, and eggplant will be available as well. Players have plenty to look forward to in this upcoming update. Games are another aspect they may be incorporated for recreational activities along the beach. Hopscotch outlines and toys can be seen in grassy patches indicating an upcoming vacation or kid theme in the works. The shoreline will definitely be busy this season.
How to visit your friends and neighbors islands?

Depicted on the left in one of the screenshots we received it from one of our fans, which shows the mysterious mermaid (known as Marina “Handy’s Sweetheart”) surrounded by sea boulders. This functional character will probably add as an attraction (Minigame) to the island or as another way for players earn experience and coins. A diving kit is also added next to the mermaid. We will update the mermaid section shortly, please check it frequently.

Expanding the village
Posted by: | CommentsAfter some time the village gets rather crowded with all the Smurfs living and working there, that is why the game offers a few ways to expand the village. Three of this expansion can be bought with Coins; one has to be bought with Smurfberries.
Land on the right side of the river
As soon as level 5 is reached, Papa Smurfs gives the task to build a small bridge across the river on the right side of the village, once the bridge has been finished (it takes 120 hours) the Smurfs can cross the river so that the land on the right side can be cultivated.
Land expansion to the left side of the river
The second expansion is to the left side of the village, in level 16 the big bridge is unlocked and can be build across the left river, so that the land on the left side can be accessed.
Cliffside expansion
The last free expansion can be gained in level 22 when it unlocks the staircases, after placing them at the cliff top on the far right side of the village the Smurfs can use them to climb up the cliff.
Paid expansion to the south of the village
The last expansion gives 30% more land to the south of the village, it can be bought in the Smurfberry-Shop for 25 Smurfberries. With version 1.1.2 of the game another paid land expansion has been added. As with the previous one it is available for 25 Smurfberries and adds another 30% of land to the south of the village. That means this item can now be bought twice to add additional land to the bottom.
The Beach
The beach section is another free (that is it can be obtained without the use of Smurfberries) land expansion that was added in version 1.1.1 of the app (and slightly modified in version 1.1.2). The beach is located at the far left side of the village and comes with special “summer” items to be placed on the beach (such as bath towels, etc.).
Despite the sand the beach is a normal land expansion, which means it can be used for all items, like the gardens, etc. and not only the beach accessoires
Expansion to the East of the Cliff
The Christmas 2011 version of the game (version 1.1.5 (iOS) and version 1.0.3 (Android)) has added a new free land expansion to the village.
This expansion is free, that means no Smurfberries are required to access the land. The Expansion is to the East of the Cliff Side and increases the space of the whole cliff side. Therefore, to get the expansion access to the cliff is required, that means the stone steps need to be placed at the cliff so the Smurfs can access it.
The Expansion itself is only available from level 26 onwards, before that the land is blocked by a timber and wood. After completing the current tasks from Papa Smurf (like, for example the Christmas quests) Papa will send out 5 Smurfs for 72 hours to search for supplies for Timber’s Mill.
Once the Smurfs return, it is possible to upgrade his Mill (by taping on) and Timber can clear the wood preventing you to access the new space.
Island Expansion
To get to the island the village has to be at least on level 19 and there has to be access to the beach. If Papa Smurf’s quests have been done regularly (tasks from seasonal updates might take priority) the “Dreamy Smurf & Island” quest line begins.
The first of those quests is to go and look for Dreamy Smurf. If no Smurfberries are used to speed up those tasks, it will take quite a while to get to the island, the following quests have to be completed before it can be reached:
- Send 2 Smurfs into the forest for 12 hours
- Send 2 Smurfs into the forest for 24 hours
- Send 5 Smurfs for 5 hours to find Dreamy Smurf
- Send Dreamy on an adventure for 24 hours
- Play Miner Smurf’s Mini Game (to get metal for the compass)
- Send 3 Smurfs into the forest for 24 hours to gather magnetic rock
- Send Dreamy Smurf on an adventure for 72 hours
- Send Dreamy Smurf on an adventure for the third time for 72 hours
- Smurf to the island
Without the use of Smurfberries and if the next task is done immediately after the previous one has been finished it will take about 9 to 10 days to get the island.
The island itself can be expanded to the south for 25 Smurfberries, just like the mainland, though this expansion is at the moment only available once on the island.
Expansion to the west on the island (dam)
To get an expansion to the west on the island, a dam has to be build on the island to stop the water and make it possible for the smurfs to access that land.
The dam can be build on level 24 and costs 8000 Coins. It takes 168 hours to build. The dam can only be placed at a specific spot. After choosing the dam from the build menu, look for a shadow of it and built it at the exact same spot.
2nd Expansion to the west on the island (Cliff top Expansion)
From level 28 onwards, it is possible to build stone steps on the island’s left side to make it so that the smurfs can access the land on top of the cliff.
To build the stone steps, the dam expansion needs to be completed first. After that, and if the required level has been reached, the stone steps come available from the first shop in the build menu.
There are two kinds of stone steps, the big ones, which can only be placed at one certain spot at the top of the cliff, and the small ones, for which there are up to three places (if all south expansions have been bought) where they can be placed. Both versions of the steps cost 10.000 Coins and take 120 hours to build (60 hours if Hefty Smurf is on the mainland).
The Mountains
The Mountains can be reached once the Hot Air Balloon has been placed at level 25. The Hot Air Balloon, and with it the mountain expansion, is free and does not cost Smurfberries nor Coins. For more information, please read the article about the mountains or the hot air balloon.
