Acorns2

Acorns are the premium currency in the game and the most difficult to get. The game is designed such that the longer you play, the more Acorns you will need (or want!), since the more attractive animals, fun buildings and decorations happen to cost  Acorns instead of Coins , and all animal families and fun buildings only pay out in Coins . From a game economics point of view this totally makes sense, because if you really enjoy playing the game, you will also be more inclined to spend real (and more) money on it.

Use of Acorns[]

Acorns have many uses throughout the game. You can use Acorns to:

  • Buy some AnimalsFun Stuff, and Decorations. Items purchased with Acorns generally produce better income more frequently, or in the case of decorations, provide a higher bonus. They are also more often part of Community Events in which you can win (limited) animals, fun buildings and decorations.
    • Sometimes items that cost Acorns are discounted. You should always check the Shop when you play, both in the Ice World and the Dino World. See the Shop page for some past animal discounts.
  • Purchase Land Expansions (instead of using Coins).
  • Instantly finish the breeding of babies. See the Nursery page for details.
  • Search and find a lost baby if you forgot to hatch it in time.
    • You can turn the clock on your device back to avoid this, but be aware that this can mess up other apps that are time-dependent and perhaps your Daily Bonuses. EDIT: this hack no longer works.
  • Buy additional Nursery slots (Nests) for 49 Acorns each.
