Paradise Club is a new social Facebook game where you can run and manage your own paradise island resort, developed by iZ Social with already other very good titles available like Adventure Park or Fitness City.
Paradise Club description is quite interesting and gives an idea of what you’re up to, so let’s take a better look:
‘Paradise Club’ cocktail. Preparation:
- Find an exotic place located by the sea with abundant palm trees. Put the icing on the cake with some white sand.
- Add 1/4 of relax and luxury, 1/4 of unlimited fun and 2/4 of romantic sunsets.
- Now the most important part: flavour the cocktail with a super model, a multi millionaire beau, a young married couple, a famous surfer, a popstar, a young bohemian living in a lighthouse and up to 20 more characters.
- Close the cocktail shaker and shake it well. It is now ready to serve.
Prepare to run ‘Paradise Club’, a marvelous place in which the most mixed and exclusive people meet. Will they be happy? Are they going to find true love? Will they commit a folly?
A fit of jealousy in a married couple, a popstar being stalked by her fans, two arch rival surfers…It’s all up to you in ‘Paradise Club’
All this is true and delivered in a nice and good looking package, you can count with great graphics, animations and on the spot sound track and effects.
You start with some tutorial explanations on the mechanics involved with the gameplay, basic quests and task, are for sure already familiar to most players. Tasks, again as usual are shown in the left side of the screen. Each finished task will give you experience and rewards, these eventually will unlock new items and quests, necessary to progress and advance in level.
You will also find tips in each mission description, and shortcuts to the location of the required items, the first mission will be highlighted to show you the way, and you will quickly learn how to do the rest.
There are five basic resources to manage and balance, coins, prestige, karma, members and energy.
In order to advance in the game, you have to build structures, or activities for your members.
Members
The activities in your club don’t make any sense unless you have members who use them. Every time you finish installing a new activity you will need to assign a certain number of members for the activity to start working.
You can get new members by carrying out marketing campaigns from the reception of your club.
You can also get members by publishing certain milestones you have reached within the game or by finding them in the surroundings of your club and clicking on them to recruit them.
Prestige
Prestige is a necessary resource to launch marketing campaigns to acquire new members.
You will get Prestige by collecting the profits of certain facilities that you will find in the ‘Extras’ tab (the one showing a piece of a puzzle) in the ‘Build’ menu. As an example, the Floating playground in the Sea area and the Garden in the Land area will give you Prestige. When you buy a facility, look for those that give you blue Prestige spheres among the profits.
The fruits provided by the rest of facilities give you Prestige too, although significantly smaller quantities. You can also obtain Prestige by helping out in your neighbor’s clubs.
Marketing Campaigns
The marketing campaigns are for you to acquire new members that you can then assign to the activities you install in your club.
If you have the amount of Prestige required for each marketing campaign, you will be able to launch them from the reception. Marketing campaigns take some time, after which you will be rewarded with new members.
As your level within the game rises, the variety of campaigns you can launch to get new members will get wider, too.
In order to get as many new members as possible with the help of a marketing campaign, you will have to hire all the employees you are being asked for.
If you don’t fill all the positions, you will get fewer members than you would if the marketing campaign was carried out perfectly. However, you can hire employees even when the marketing campaign is underway. The employees will help increase the number of new members acquired when the campaign finishes.
You can fill these positions with your Facebook friends who are not playing Paradise Club yet. Send them an invitation when you access the campaign, regardless of whether it is before launching it or when it is running already. To do so, click on reception.
If a position in a marketing campaign has been filled with one of your friends, there will be no need to fill this position again when you launch the campaign.
In order to extend the surface of your club click on ‘BUILD’. Once you get to the shop, go to the ‘EXPANSIONS’ section. In order to carry out the expansion successfully, you will need to have enough money and a sufficiently high Karma level.
Karma
The Karma level (indicated by a violet heart symbol) displays the help you have given in your neighbors’ clubs.
It allows you to compare yourself with your neighbors. But above all it is helpful to unlock new expansions and items for your club.
Every time you carry out an action in a club that is not yours, you will receive a Karma point. The more Karma points you have, the higher your Karma level will be.
As you will see in the shop, each area (Sea, Beach and Land) has got its own ‘Extras’ section (the tab showing a piece of a puzzle). The objects allow you to decorate and personalize your club and will also generate extra profit and Prestige for you.
Some of these objects, such as for example the palm trees, boost the income generated by the activities located close by. When you put one of these objects the area in which it will be effective will be indicated. The profits generated by the activities located in this area will increase by a certain percentage.
In addition, other facilities generate Prestige. In fact, this kind of facilities are the main source of Prestige you will find in ‘Paradise Club’, which is why it is important for you to try to have them. An example would be the Medic hut of the Beach.
The club is clearly divided into three main areas, named according to the type of activities carried out within them: Sea, Beach and Land, so each object, activity, building or decoration can only be placed in its own area.
The same distinction is made in the shop, which you can access by clicking on ‘BUILD’: each area has its own activities and specific objects, none of which can be placed in an area where it doesn’t belong.
Monetization
You can buy the majority of the articles available in the shop with coins, such as activities, accessories and extras for any area of your club. To access the shop click ‘Build’ in the lower right part of your game screen.
Before buying an object in the shop you will be see its price, the profits it generates, the number of members required to make it work (in the case of an activity) and whether a certain level is required to buy it.
The activities of your club are the main source of income in ‘Paradise Club’. They produce coins that you have to collect every time they finish. In addition, you can swap a certain amount of Facebook Credits for coins by clicking on the ‘Coins’ button, in the upper part of the screen.
You can also obtain coins by watching sponsored videos, by interacting with other promoted applications or games, or by helping out in your neighbors’ clubs.
Using Facebook Credits you can get exclusive gaming content, or perform certain actions allowing you to speed up your progress, such as expanding your set without having to meet the minimum number of neighbors requirement.
