Ball Travelogue is a very interesting simulation and management game, where players embark on a culinary journey to learn about the cuisine of different cities and provide food for passengers. Players need to become a "master of time management" and try to meet the needs of each customer. If you are still unclear about how to play this game, this Ball Travelogue guide will share relevant tutorials with you, and after reading it, you will understand.
Airports:
By the end of 2024, there will be a total of 15 airports, all inspired by real-world cities, with more airports expected to be added in the future. The currently playable city airports include: Berlin, Cape Town, Denver, London, Mexico City, Moscow (being remodeled, temporarily unavailable), Mumbai, Naples, New York, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Sapporo, Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo. Except for Denver, unlocking all other cities requires a certain number of stars and coins.
Starting Out:
Denver is the first airport unlocked by default and also provides some basic operation and gameplay tutorials. Upgrading this city's airport is relatively cheap, and the level difficulty is lower, making it suitable for beginners. It is recommended to carefully complete the tutorial and get familiar with the game's operation methods.
How to Choose a New Airport
As the game progresses and stars accumulate, players will unlock more airports. Unlocking new airports not only requires meeting the star count requirement but also spending a large amount of gold. Different players may have varying experiences and difficulty levels at each airport. The easiest to complete should be Denver and Sydney (the second unlocked destination, with more affordable upgrade costs). Although it's hard to say which city is the "hardest," the three airports that take the most time and have the highest upgrade costs are Mumbai, New York, and Tokyo (especially Tokyo). In terms of gaming experience, Sapporo and Mumbai put the most pressure on players. It is suggested that players focus on conquering one airport until they fully clear it before moving on to the next, which will be more efficient and rewarding.
How to Earn Gems and Coins:
Gems and coins are crucial for game progress, especially gems, which are the core resources for completing upgrades. If you don't want to spend money, here are all the ways to obtain gems currently:
Accumulating "smiles" (350 smiles can be exchanged for 1 gem)
Watching ads (you can get up to 3-4 gems daily through the "free rewards" page, located at the bottom right corner)
Completing daily tasks (complete all three tasks to get 1 gem, and an additional 5 gems for completing them consecutively for 7 days)
Inviting friends to join the game
Login rewards (you can get gems approximately once a week)
Special mission rewards (most missions reward 1 gem, but the exact amount varies)
Reaching level milestones (such as level 5, 10, some levels offer gems)
Completing the 50th level of an airport (get 5 gems if less than 150 stars, and another 5 gems if you reach 150 stars)
Chef challenges (completing 25 difficult levels can earn 50 gems, not recommended for beginners)
Competitions/tournaments (also not recommended for beginners)
Best Ways to Get Gems
To get more gems, the key is to get more "smiles." Therefore, priority should be given to upgrading various comfort items (such as pillows, magazines, newspapers, headphones, sleep masks, etc., specific items vary by airport). These item upgrades only require gold, not gems. After reaching the maximum level, each passenger can provide 5 points of smiles, which greatly helps in accumulating gems, so don't overlook it. In terms of levels, Singapore is one of the airports with the most "smiles." If you upgrade the pillow to the maximum level, you can get an average of 100 to 120 points of smiles per game in levels 44 and 45, and if the entire map is upgraded to the maximum level, it can even reach 160-170 points.
About Ads
If you want to quickly advance in the game, ads are indeed an indispensable part. The previously mentioned "free rewards" for gems are quite good, and watching ads can also earn gold or fuel (each ad gives 200 gold or 1 unit of fuel). Don't underestimate these gains; they add up over time. Watching ads can also double your gold earnings after completing a level (if you are short on gold, this is even more important!). In later levels, if you get a three-star rating, you can earn a lot of gold through ads. Some extra ingredients can also be unlocked by watching ads.
The above is the content related to the Ball Travelogue guide. In addition to the precautions mentioned above, another important aspect is the choice of upgrades. Each airport has a wide variety of upgrade options, ranging from kitchen equipment speed, passenger patience time, trash can capacity, to seat types, and so on. It is crucial to plan the upgrade direction reasonably. If you always can't keep up with the meal serving pace, prioritize upgrading the kitchen utensils. If you can't reach the required score for the level, prioritize upgrading the price of the food.
