Know about Game:
Zoo World is a creation of Rockyou! People can play this game on facebook. It is a real time zoo simulation game. The guide for this game is being created to give information about its tips and tricks, useful hints. Also, guide has lot of information about strategies to be adopted to complete Zoo World.
Zoo World lets you run your own Zoo. You purchase the animals and supplies, hire staff, and place everything exactly where you want it to be. You will hire your Neighbors as your Zoo Keepers and will interact with them as you help each other via gifting and trading animals to make your Zoo fantastic. You will start out with a small amount of money, a few animals and a small piece of land eventually growing your Zoo to the size of ten Islands. Be sure to check in daily to supervise your animals, Collect daily cash bonuses, feed babies, and train your animals.
You must do several tasks to move up through the levels. Most of these levels will require you to purchase expensive items so be sure to visit neighbors and keep your Zoo at optimal profit level by checking your Zoo Report Card Daily.
The game allows you to run your own Zoo while using your social network of friends at Facebook to help you build up your number of animals, trees, topiaries, statues and attractions at your Zoo.
- You are given a small piece of land and a few animals to start. You will set the ticket price for your customers and will be able to adjust conditions at your Zoo to make it more favorable for your visitors. Each time you add another attraction you will have to purchase a Zoo Keeper or a Kiosk Manager.
- If you play and increase your Zoo’s size you will earn a different amount of profit each day. A day in Zoo World is 5 minutes and you will earn the profit amount every 5 minutes while the game is open! Keeping the game open for a long time will earn you more money to spend on animals and attractions.
- In this game, the trees, topiaries and statues give you money! Click on these items once daily in your Zoo and in your Neighbor’s Zoos and you will earn a lot of money to purchase items for your own Zoo. NOTE – This is known as “shaking” such as Shaking Trees.
- As your Zoo increases in size you will be responsible to purchase parking lots, restrooms and staff to run these areas.
- If the sizeof the zoo is bigger, you will make more money and also, there will be more animals, staff, and attractions to purchase.
- Your live feed at Facebook is a large part of Zoo World as there are several animals that can only be obtained by rescuing them off of the live feeds when placed there by your Zoo World Friends.
- If you visit your Neighbor’s Zoo and click on their trees and find the hidden attraction, that will earn you money for your Zoo daily.
- There is a daily bonus given based on the size of your Zoo. The first time you visit your Zoo each day you will collect this bonus.
- Optional games can be played to earn money such as the Daily Zoo Lotto (See Daily Zoo Lotto Below for details) and the Daily Question of the Day. (See Daily Question of the Day below for more details.)
- Zoo World allows you to breed animals once you have 2 of that species and each species has either an easy, medium, hard, or expert level of breeding for a fee
- There are two types of currency in Zoo World. Zoo World currency called “Zoo Dollars” used to purchase general items in the game and “Wild Life Points” used to purchase special animated attractions and animals for your Zoo.
- Sometimes you will encounter messages informing you that you have found a lost animal. (See Lost Animals below for more information.) Place these animals on the live feed for your friends to earn money when they help out this lost animal.
- Every 24 hours you can send your friends 1 free gift which is determined by how far along you are in the game. The further along you are in the game the more free animals will unlock and you can choose to send 1 animal to a large group of friends or you can send a different animal to each friend. (See Gifting Items to Neighbors below for more details.)
- Limited gifts can also be sent by you which are items that you own that you wish to give to a friend
- Collectible items such as trees and statues can also be gifted which will give your friends daily income.
- As you acquire animals for your Zoo they move into your inventory. Once you visit your Zoo you can place your animal by dragging them to the Zoo and placing them on the land. As you progress you land becomes larger and eventually you are given an additional piece of land up to 10 different land areas for your Zoo.
- Joining Zoo World’s Fan page will give you access to special fan gifts and updates to the game. You can access their https://www.facebook.com/pages/Zoo-World/162104552518
- Each day Zoo World resets at 12AM PST.
Game Strategies/Tips/Tricks
- It is advisable to start your ticket price very low at $1.00 and change it from time to time to see at which price you have the highest profit. You can change the price at any time. The best time for a price increase is after you add a few animals and the size of your Zoo increases along with your number of visitors.
- Some of the level requirements are very difficult and expensive. Be sure to do daily visits and click on the trees of your Neighbors for the most profit.
- When visiting your Neighbors you will want to click on each one of their animals as you try to find the hidden secret bonus. It is best to start with your Neighbors at the very end of your friend list with the smallest Zoos at it will take very little time to search for the bonus money. Once you reach your top level friends they may have up to 10 plots of land and it will take quite a while to search for the hidden bonus but you will have a lot more trees, topiaries and statues you can also click on for coins.
- The Zoo lottery is available to play as many times as you wish but it will cost you 2 Wildlife dollars to play and you have very low odds of winning a match as you have to choose from over 100 animals. Play this only if you have the money to spare.
- Trees are a great investment as you will be able to click on them daily to earn extra income. There are several trees that upgrade over time and give even more money.
- Whenever you see a free topiary on the live feeds be sure to click on it as these will earn you coins if you click on them each day and it really adds up.
- Saving lost animals, and feeding newly bred animals on the live feed will earn you big bucks. Be sure to click on these links any time you see them.
- Always try to gift your friends a free item each day. People tend to gift you the item you send to them in this game so keep this in mind when sending gifts.
- Keep an eye on your Zoo Report Card. If you earn all A’s in the categories you can be certain you are obtaining the maximum profit for your Zoo size.
- It happens sometimes that the level instructions can be confusing. If you are told to buy a certain amount of an item it means you need to buy exactly what it says right at this time. If you needed to purchase 10 Eagles but you already have 8 you still need to purchase 10, not 2 more.
- Keep the game open at least an hour a day. While the game is open you are earning money every 5 minutes which is a Zoo day. There is a timer at the top of the screen that counts down every 5 minutes and when the time is up you earn the amount listed next to
“Profit” at the top of the screen.
- When you have enough Wildlife points purchase a tree that will give you wildlife points each day when you click on it. This way when you have finished all the levels (which award you wildlife points when completed) you will have another way to keep earning them.
- When you are playing the game be sure to post anything that will give your neighbors a potential profit but keep any post that just announces achievements to a minimum as people will sometimes delete players that clog the feeds with these messages.
- As soon as you have the money start training your Bald Eagle as this takes a lot of time and you will need it to level up. Make a habit of going to the animal and hitting the “Train” button as soon as you log in to the game.
- IMPORTANT TIP – It is entirely possible that you could complete a level requirement for a future level. For example while collecting 2 of every animal for level 22 you may have collected the required items for another level. It is a really great idea to read over the level requirements listed below and read ahead of where you are to see if you can knock out later objectives.
- IMPORTANT TIP – Changing your ticket price to $1.00 will show you the maximum number of customers you can have in a day. You can use this information when trying to fulfill level requirements.
- IMPORTANT TIP – As you advance test ticket prices with different amounts and note your profit and number of visitors for the day. If you add a large number of animals or attractions be sure to check this number as it changes frequently and once you hit $16.00 per ticket you can just leave it there as it does not fluctuate once you reach that point of the game.
- NOTE – When your Zoo reaches a value of over 10 Million the value will be truncated and you will not be able to see the last 3 digits so it will seem as if you are not earning additional income. Place your mouse over this area and you will be able to see the total amount you have coming in.
- IMPORTANT TIP – Spiders are not insects. When you need to unlock the insects purchase Butterflies.

Getting Started
- When you begin the game you are given $50,000 Zoo dollars, a small plot of land with a birds of prey show, 1 breeding house, a Bald Eagle, Lion, and African Elephant to begin your Zoo. These items are already placed on the land.
- Right away you will notice at the top there are tasks or achievements for you to complete. The tasks are tutorial in nature and once completed you will be at level 3. After level 3 you have to complete 2-4 tasks before you will move up a level. These tasks are expensive and they are not easy so be sure to keep your Zoo as profitable as possible. Once you hit level 3 you will be awarded 1 Wildlife point each time you move up a level.
- You will be asked to purchase an animal and the only one that will be unlocked for you is the Spotted Hyena which cost $800 Zoo Dollars. (Be sure to just purchase 1 at this time.)
- Make sure the quantity is set at “1” then click on “Buy” to purchase. You will be asked to confirm. Once you do the Hyena will be placed into your inventory box.
- Click on “Visit Zoo” where you will be taken to your plot of land. You will notice people walking around your Zoo. The more animals and attractions you place on the land, the more people will visit your Zoo.
- Drag the Spotted Hyena to an empty spot of land. (See “Placing items in your Zoo” for specific instructions)
- NOTE – The first time you own a specific animal you will place it on your Zoo. If you buy any additional animals of the same breed they will automatically be added to the quantity and you will not find them in your inventory.
- Once your Spotted Hyena is placed you will be asked to assign a Zookeeper. (See assigning Zookeeper below)
- Your next step is to study your report card and do whatever the game suggests you do to in order to increase your rating.
- Continue to add animals and attractions to your Zoo as long as you can afford them.
- Important TIP – Do not buy several of one animal at the beginning of your game as this wastes money and will put you behind. It is better to have several species verses a large quantity of a particular species.
- Once you learn the various menus and their functions you should be able to maintain the game easily.
- It is recommended you check in at least once a day to collect your bonuses and visit your Neighbors. Remember the time you keep the game open is profit for you every 5 minutes you will earn the profit of one Zoo Day.
- Be sure to refer to Game information at the top right often and work to earn all A’s on the Zoo Report Card.
Zoo Day
- In Zoo World a Zoo Day is only 5 Minutes Long.
- Whatever your profit is you will earn that every 5 minutes as long as your game is open and you are supervising your Zoo.
- While you are visiting friends you are earning money every 5 minutes and earning bonuses for visiting them.
- If you have the application open but you are not doing anything the game will eventually shut down the Zoo day and a button will appear that says, “Start Zoo Day” so you can’t just leave it running unattended for long periods of time.
- The Zoo and the main menu areas all have countdown clocks so you can keep an eye on your Zoo Day.
- Be sure to check your ticket prices throughout the day and after major changes to your Zoo so you are sure you are earning the optimal profit with the most visitors. (See Ticket Prices)

Click on the Category you want then choose the item you wish to purchase, set the quantity and click on “buy.” The items will either go into your inventory or directly into your Zoo.
- Animals - Here you will see animals listed in the order they are unlocked along with their cost.
