The Ville Bunny Garden: Everything you need to know

![][1]


If you've reached at least Level 4 in [Zynga][2]'s [The Ville][3] on Facebook, you can now take part in the game's first limited time event called the Bunny Garden. While we've seen events revolving around items like Doghouses or [Lemonade Stands][4], this Bunny Garden is a much more complex event, even if only for the fact that you'll be timed while completing it.

When this update rolls around to your game, you'll be able to place a Bunny Garden somewhere on your land, and can then jump straight into the quests that accompany it. Here's a complete guide to finishing them off!

**Hungry Bunnies**

* Collect 3 Bunny Treats
* Feed Bunnies


You'll need to send out individual requests to earn the Bunny Treats, and can then click on the Bunny Garden and choose "Feed Bunnies" to finish this quest. You'll receive two XP and 50 coins for finishing this quest.

**Bunny Care**

* Place the Black Belgian
* Play with the Black Belgian


Upon completing the first quest, you'll be given an upgrade to the Bunny Garden and will also unlock the Black Belgian bunny. The Black Belgian will be in your inventory, so you'll need to "Place" it to finish this quest. You'll earn another two XP and 25 coins for finishing this quest.

**Double Trouble**

* Collect 9 Bunny Treats
* Attract the White Angora


Apparently, these bunnies have been eating local garden patches out of carrots, so we'll need to collect more treats to stop them from continuing to do so. As you collect treats and feed bunnies, the garden will continue to upgrade and you'll eventually attract the White Angora rabbit to your game. Finishing this quest gives you five XP and 200 coins.

**Carrot Catastrophe**

* Place the White Angora
* Play with 2 Bunnies
* Harvest 12 Carrots


Carrots take 18 hours to grow, so if you plan ahead, you can have them growing while working on other quests in this series so that you don't have to wait another 18 hours after making it this far. You'll earn five XP and 125 coins when you complete this quest.

**Bunny Proof**

* Buy 5 New Flowers
* Buy 5 New Outdoor Decorations
* Attract the Pink Flemish Giant Rabbit


Rewards: 10 XP and 400 coins

**Gentle Giant**

* Place the Pink Flemish Giant
* Clear 5 Debris
* Buy 3 Fruit Trees


Rewards: 10 XP and 600 coins
**
King of the Bunnies**

* Cook Vegetable Stew
* Harvest 12 Herbs
* Attract the Rainbow Bunny


The Vegetable Stew can be cooked by clicking on your stove and combining lots of ingredients: eight carrots, four potatoes and four tomatoes. You'll earn 10 XP and 400 coins for completing this quest, and will also unlock the Jackalope. After finishing this final quest, you can continue to interact with the Bunny Garden, but you won't be able to upgrade it any further, as of this writing.

Remember, if you don't complete this feature within the two week time limit, there are no other ways (again, as of this writing) to earn them, but any bunnies that you do recruit will be yours to keep forever. Good luck!

CityVille Keep Building on Water Goal: Everything you need to know

![][1]

A couple of weeks ago, [CityVille][2] players were given the opportunity to expand far out into the water beyond the shoreline of their city and actually [unlock islands][3] in the middle of the water on which to build. Apparently, that feature went over pretty well, as another set of islands is now available to unlock via a goal with an appropriate name: Keep Building on Water.


This goal is given to players at least Level 10 or higher, and it comes with three tasks:



* Expand Your City to the Second Island
* Finish Building the Second Island
* Move 5 Completed Islands


As with the first islands feature, you'll be able to unlock islands ranging from small to large and must collect items like sand and grass to "activate" them for building. There are 16 tiles that comprise the entirety of the "Second Island," and you'll need to complete them all before finishing this goal. Your rewards for finishing this goal are 30 energy and 20 Rocket Fuels. Apparently, the movement task sees you being given space to place a space shuttle out in the middle of the water, which explains this feature's connection to that of the Space Shuttle released previously.

It's likely that yet another set of islands will be released at some point in the future, especially if players positively take to this second island in the game. If islands continue to rise out of the water in CityVille, we'll make sure to let you know!

Lost Legacies: A merely average hidden object game on Facebook

![][1]


As hidden object games become more prevalent on Facebook, games will have to rely more on their stories and artwork than ever before to stand apart from the big names like [Hidden Chronicles][2] or [Gardens of Time][3]. Lost Legacies from Smeet at least has one of those elements, as the storyline sees you traveling the world, investigating ancient treasures while guided by a mysterious figure on the other end of random telephone calls. You'll explore destroyed ruins, shipwrecks, tombs, labs and much more as you make your way through the game, but unfortunately, the gameplay itself is only average.

There's no "Home World" to speak of in Lost Legacies; instead, you'll simply unlock new scenes by repeatedly playing old ones, unlocking mastery seals for repeated play. You'll need to complete certain scenes for quests and will often (too often) be asked to invite your friends to play the game as well (we timed it - less than 30 seconds pass between each attempt to get you to invite your friends to play while you're outside of scenes and "inactive"). Each scene requires around 15 energy to play, making your starting allotment of 60 energy disappear far too quickly, and the scenes themselves aren't really intriguing.

The art within each scene may be clear, but it doesn't contain enough detail to be considered "pretty." As you complete scenes, you'll only be given a small number of items to search for at a time, and the game forces you to jump into full screen at the beginning of every scene, whether you want to or not. You can jump back out at your will, but this isn't very user-friendly. This seems to be the case with the entire experience however, as Lost Legacies seems to focus too much on forcing you to do things, whether it be forcing you to invite your friends (or, at the very least open the invite window and then close it again), asking you to share news posts to your wall and so on. Furthermore, quest rewards aren't given automatically, so you'll need to repeatedly click on quest icons to see if you have rewards waiting for you that you may have forgotten about.

Lost Legacies comes with plenty of different themes in its scenes, and the game's story sets up enough mystery and intrigue early on to entice users to keep coming back for more, but there's nothing truly special about the hidden object scenes themselves that help pull players back in. You'll need to be incredibly fast to earn combo points, wasting almost no time whatsoever in finding subsequent items, and while you'll earn extra rewards with each mastery seal you unlock, Lost Legacies would be so much better if it didn't follow this now cliched setup.

All told, Lost Legacies is a merely average hidden object game in a genre that's becoming increasingly crowded, but if you're desperate for one more hidden object game to play (perhaps while waiting for your energy to recharge in other Facebook hidden object games), I suppose it couldn't hurt to give Lost Legacies a shot.
