Getting started

The game opens from this website: there is no sign-in box in the game itself.

This guide shows how to get in, and what you see once you are on the island.

  1. Sign in on the website.
  2. Press Play Now in the header.
  3. The game opens and signs you in by itself. You start on the island map.
  • If you open the game’s address directly, it sends you through the website first. That is normal.
  • You can only be in the game once at a time: a second tab is refused.
The game in the Lobby: your card top left, the room and who is here top middle, the quest tracker top right, the chat card bottom left, seven buttons bottom right.
The game on a computer.
  • Top left - your card: your picture, your name, your level and your XP bar. Press your picture to open My Tasks: today’s challenges, your level, your quests and your collections. Under your name: the envelope for your notifications, your credits, your gems, and the box button for your surprise boxes.
  • Top middle: the name of the room and how many players are here. Press the number to see who.
  • Top right - the quest tracker: the quest you are on and its next step. More about it below.
  • Bottom left - the chat: the box where you type, with the tabs Room, Global and System over it. The last lines said show over the room for a moment.
  • Bottom right - the buttons: seven of them, explained below.

The buttons are pictures. On a computer, rest the mouse on one to read its name.

The seven round buttons at the bottom right of the game.
  • MaZo: flip the coin and try to keep your streak going. Rest the mouse on it for more games of luck. See MaZo.
  • Sit: sit down where you stand. Rest the mouse on it for Jump and the actions: see Actions and emotes.
  • Hypermoods: the special effects you own.
  • Closet: your clothes, your pets and everything else you own.
  • Friends: your friends, who is online, and your friend requests.
  • Map: the island map, to travel.
  • Settings: graphics, sound, zoom, privacy, the screen’s colours and more.

On a phone: hold your finger on MaZo or Sit to see what is over it.

  • It shows the quest you are on, how far you are, and what to do Now.
  • No quest under way? It says New quest and names one you can start.
  • Press it to open your quests. Its little arrow folds it down to a picture.
  • Don’t want it? Settings, UI Design, then switch Quest tracker off.

The same things, placed for a small screen:

The game on a phone held upright: your card and the balances at the top, the quest under them, the talk box and the buttons at the bottom.
  • The last lines said show above the talk box.
  • The bubble button beside the talk box opens the Chat history: Room, Global, System and your private conversations.
  • Tap Tap here to talk to write to your room.
  • The quest tracker is a line under your card.
  • Turn your phone on its side and the buttons make a column on the right.
The Notifications window: a friend request, a gift and a level reached, newest first.
  • Friend requests, sales in your shop, stars for your home, prizes and news all land here - even the ones that came while you were away.
  • Press a line to go to what it is about.
  • They are kept for 30 days. The same list is on the website: Notifications.
  • Short notes also pop up for a moment. Their badge tells you what they are: a green tick when something worked, an orange ! when it didn’t, a blue i for news and hints.

Big news from the Muniz team can pop up in the game, for everyone - even if you were away when it was posted, it waits for your next visit.

The Island News window over the game: a news post with its title, its text, and the Like and I’ve read it! buttons.
  1. Read the post. Scroll down to its end.
  2. Then press Like if you liked it.
  3. Press I’ve read it! to close it.
  • The buttons only wake up once you have scrolled to the end.
  • A link to the Store, the Closet or the Market opens the game’s own. The post waits for you behind it.
  • All the news is on the website too: News.
  • Away for 5 minutes, or on another tab or window? Others see you asleep (zzz). After 30 minutes without moving, the island lets you rest: press Reconnect to come back.
  • If your connection drops, wait: the game reconnects by itself and puts you back where you were.
  • A blue note saying A new version of the game is ready? Press Refresh when you have a moment: you come back to the same room.
