We’ve all been stuck on Travel Town before. It can seem like the game is impossible if you make a mistake. But there are a few tips and tricks that can help you with that. If you’re looking to turn casual playing into satisfying, long-term progress, it’s all about playing smarter — not harder. Trust me, there’s a better way to win in Travel Town, and it doesn’t involve mindlessly clicking through tasks. Here are the tricks experienced players (and myself) swear by to keep their progress smooth and their resources plentiful:
Smash Daily and Weekly Goals
Stretch goals are key
If you want those big weekly prizes, don’t just stop at the regular goals. Stretch goals are where the real rewards are, so aim for them from the start. It’s worth putting in a bit of extra effort to hit those stretch targets.
Reset your difficulty
Here’s a sneaky little trick: every few days, skip logging in for just one day. Doing this resets the difficulty of your daily coin goals, making it a bit easier to complete them in the days that follow. Pro Tip: Plan your “skip day” right after you claim a big prize. That way, you don’t lose any momentum and still get to enjoy the rewards of a reset.
Manage Your Inventory Like a Pro
Expand early
Inventory space is a precious commodity, especially as you progress. Prioritize expanding your inventory as early as possible — ideally by around Level 25. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself when the limited space starts feeling like a headache later on.
Merge quickly
Out of space? Don’t hold onto low-level items for too long. Merge common items quickly to free up your board and make room for better things. Rule of Thumb: If an item is cluttering up your board and it’s not part of an imminent high-level merge, get rid of it.
Spend Wisely, Stay Ahead
Don’t panic-spend
It’s easy to get stuck and feel the urge to throw gems at the problem when things aren’t going your way. But trust me, panic-spending rarely ends well. Take a breath, think it through, and come up with a smarter strategy before you commit those gems.
Ignore the bubbles (most of the time)
Bubbles can be tempting because they promise quick rewards, but popping them costs gems. Only do it if the reward inside is genuinely valuable. Otherwise, just let the bubbles be. Remember: Saving gems might feel boring in the moment, but when you hit a bottleneck later on, you’ll be glad you held onto them.
Power Up Before Boosters
Set the stage
Before you activate any booster, like free merges or speed-ups, make sure your board is ready. Fill it with half-ready items so you can maximize the profit from the booster time. The goal is to make every second count!
Don’t waste the boost
Boosters are powerful, but they’re only useful if you’re actively using them. Don’t waste valuable booster time on tasks like cleaning your board — that time is best spent slamming merges and upgrades.
Know the Odds
Chest rewards are lowball
When it comes to chest or crate rewards, it’s best to assume you’ll get the lowest listed reward. That way, if you hit a jackpot, it’ll be a pleasant surprise. But if you don’t, you won’t be disappointed. It’s a win-win!
Don’t chase cards
Cards are fun to collect, but they’re mostly cosmetic. If an event gives you card packs, awesome. But don’t stress over collecting full sets — it’s rarely worth going out of your way for them. Focus your efforts elsewhere for bigger rewards.
Watch Ads Every Day
Free energy from ads
Every day, you have the chance to watch ads for free energy, bonus gems, and sometimes even useful bubbles. These little freebies add up over time, so don’t skip them! It only takes a few minutes a day, but in the long run, they can save you tons of time and resources.
Free energy from developers
The game developers also publish multiple free energy codes across platforms every day. We’ve compiled them all on our Travel Town free energy page so you don’t have to search the internet for hours every day.
Final Thoughts
Travel Town is a game that rewards patience, strategy, and a little bit of cleverness. Players who think ahead, save their resources wisely, and don’t rush their progress will find the game much more enjoyable and less frustrating. Approach it like a puzzle, not a race, and you’ll fall in love with the journey.
