Warning: this hack involves deleting your game and reinstalling. If you do not have a G5 friends account YOU WILL LOSE ALL GAME PROGRESS!!

FYI: I am running the latest update, as of 2/23/2019 on an iPad.

In a fit of rage after Chinese New Year update, and getting my G5 friends account, I deleted my game after I lost all my friends. When I reinstalled the game and opened it, it looked like it started me from scratch. When it connected to G5 and downloaded my game data I got 3 achievements awards: Gold-Digger, Gnome and Star of the Order. Depending on how many coins, friends and crystals you have, the awards will vary.





I tested it on my iPhone but it connected to the interned and downloaded my profile too fast, I didn’t get the awards again. However I have tested this with my old Android user on my old Android phone, 2 iPads and my iPhone and found a way to bypass the user download temporary to get the awards again. You disconnect from the Internet after you reinstall the game but before you open it, then you get the awards. Step by step instructions are below.

WARNING: I do not have the game installed on a computer to see if this works. Also one time I did this I lost a day of progress. AGAIN!!! Only do this if you have a G5 friends account otherwise you will lose all your game data. (I removed the game once because my baby got my iPad and spent all my 490 crystals on meals. I wanted my crystals back and as soon as I saw what he did I closed the game and deleted it. I did get all my crystals back because the game had not uploaded to the server, just lost CI and 250 items to explore the Chinese Courtyard.)

1. From an iPad/iPhone or an Android phone, close the game. Reopen the game and let it load completely, close the game. This seems to save the game progress, but try this after you don’t mind losing game progress just in case, or login to your G5 friend account onto another device and make sure everything is there.

2. Remove the game from the device.

3. Download the game again.



4. After you download the game again DO NOT OPEN THE GAME.

5. Disconnect from the Internet. I set my phone or iPad to airplane mode and made sure that wifi is off.

6. Open the game and let it load. You will get two warnings about not being connected to the Internet.

7. After the game loads LEAVE IT OPEN in the background and turn the Internet back on. Go back to the game and wait a few minutes, it will connect to the G5 friends server and reload your old game and you will hear the award chime. It will show the brown boxes until the game downloads everything but you should have the award chests in your inventory.

I have done this several times and have not had any problems. Although this doesn’t make up for all my lost friends and the 48 lost CI I had in my gift box, it is nice to get some cool stuff out of update that made me almost quit playing.

Enjoy!!
