I LOVE that event! Its extremely useful when just starting off.

What is the graveyard game?.......pretty knew here so I'm also pretty lost, lol. Also, how do you know in VV if you have built and grew everything there is to build and grow? I seen a picture somewhere on here and there was a picnic table, a tree by the lagoon and also some rocks by the lagoon. I have finished all my puzzels and bought everything there is to buy, the cave is open, I have my golden child. Is there anything else?

The pictures you are seeing have been modified by people playing the game. Many people keep playing the game in different ways, set new challenges beyond solving the puzzles, install the holiday mods (accessible here), or edit screen shots in Photoshop for a little added fun.

So you are saying, that unless I want to "modify" the game, I pretty much have discovered everything? I'm also curious when the game ends, if it ever does, lol

Virtual Villagers, like all of our real-time games, is designed to be open-ended. Each game has clear goals, but the games can continue to go on and allow you to play as long as you like. The Island Events will continue to happen, which can dramatically change the way things are going for your villagers. You can also try to get a higher ranking in our online High Scores page. Once you get tired of your current game, you can do like most people do and play the game again on different settings and/or try different strategies. The puzzles aren't as stressful the second time, and you can try completing them much earlier in the game.

This thread contains links to several good discussions on that topic!

When I get the measles event (or even worse, the poison event!), I don't bother trying to find a doctor to keep him at work. I just keep picking up kids and dropping them in the crowd of sick kids.

Sometimes it doesn't work, but often it does, and then I have a cured kids plus another with some healing skills.

I just keep doing that until all the kids are cured (I may use the detailed screen to find which ones are still sick if needed.)

Eventually, adults with healing skills (whether checked or not) will come to the "clinic" and help out.

good idea, thanks.

Finally! A crate of babies. I have been playing this bame for 5 months and never seen the event personally. It finally happened on my newest ongoing game, they were all girls.

I had a 6 year old master scientist, but when he was old enough to work he would only do research no matter what I needed him to do.
