We have good news for you! The island is giving back!

The islanders are really appreciative of how much time and energy you and Kate have been investing in the resort. The island has been growing and blooming under your care.

Chief Kono and his sister Kaya have noticed that the island is more bountiful every time you tend it, and as thanks, Kaya wants to give your buildings a makeover!

The more you give, the more you’ll get back.

If you are at least Level 14, you will be invited to join the “The Island Gives Back” event. You will need to force-close the game to see the update, or even reboot your device.

Start the event by tapping the Spirit Garden.

For The Island Gives Back event, you can earn Goodwill points when you spend Gems. The points you earned will help you progress through Spirit Tiers and unlock benefits!

There are five Tiers that you will progress through as you earn Goodwill points:

  • Earth Tier
  • Forest Tier
  • Water Tier
  • Fire Tier
  • Animal Tier



Each Tier has its own set of benefits. Unlock these benefits by reaching a Tier:

  • Perks
  • Makeovers



Note: Some benefits are locked and can be accessible once you reach a specific level. The benefits will carry over when you move onto another Tier.

How do I earn Goodwill points?

Spend your Gems on anything and anywhere on your island to earn Goodwill points.


What are Perks?

Find out the Perks for each Tier by tapping the Explore Perks button.


Perks are unlocked when you reach a Tier. These are rewards that you can use on your island.


You can keep the Perks you unlocked as you move through the different Tiers as Perks are cumulative.


There is a time limit for you to unlock all the Perks so keep collecting Goodwill Points.


What are Makeovers?

Makeovers will allow you to give your buildings a new look. These unlocked Makeovers will be on your island for six months so you have plenty of time to enhance your buildings.



There are 6 buildings that we can choose from to upgrade:

  • Boathouse
  • Silo
  • Bridge


To start upgrading a building, simply tap and hold on it to open the Building Makeovers window.


Note: When a Makeover has been unlocked, you can switch between the new or the old design. This will allow you to have different versions of the same upgrade.
