The cave of fear is past the spider statue. you have to clear a stone door. Then you have to clear spider eggs (all of them) in the main quest to unlock the cave. The cave will have spiderwebs on it and eggs by the entrance.
A dig site produces artifacts, which the game will ask for as items you will need to clear quests.

Not sure about the Cave of Fear but the dig sites are in the store for buying.

if you stay on the island group but reload your game it should go back on dry land

It's on a box on the island it should sparkle. The map shows which islands

I finished the boat quest where do I find the magical symbol

What is the boat quest? I need the magic symbol too.

What do you have to do to complete the boat quest?

If it's forgotten shore its in the water. To the south if you find out how to get it. Let me know

sometime the crate the holds the map pieces can be found behind trees etc. sometimes you have to visit a couple of times before it shows up. but you can try this, do not come out of your island but reload your game. sometimes it will show up then

if you click on the map (first icon bottom left hand side) it takes you to your islands, map pieces pop up from time to time. you just click on the map icon next to the island.

Make sure you have shovels when you visit other players' islands. There will be sparkling chests on the shore that you can open with one shovel each. You can get stars, coins, etc. But if a player hasn't played in a while, there will be no chests to open.

no when you visit you do not receive items from them. people who you are 'friends' with who play the game can gift you items when the characters have food icons above their heads this is when they can send. they can not however choose what to send

also you only need to revisit them when there is a map symbol next to that island. this indicates that you can collect another map piece from this island

the wooden doors take 5 food cans

which cave are you stuck on?

yes it is the way that the creators make money getting you to watch stuff and do surveys. and the invite friend thing rarely works either.

Thank you. I'm just frustrated that the game will offer "watch this video and earn 20 gems", but when I do, the gems never upload to my game. I have also downloaded free app's because I'll get a offer that if I do I'll get 50 gems, but again I never get them. And then finally inside the game itself where you can "invite" friends, earn gems depending on how many I invite I can't even get that to work.
I've e-mailed the creator of the game, but they haven't responded. I enjoy this game immensely, but I'm just frustrated with this particular aspect.

gems are quite hard to earn, you get one week from the daily gifts, the others occasionally. you do not really need gems on this game in order to progress, gems really only help you get tasks completed quicker and help you increase your island beauty hearts quicker

I can't seem to get any more map pieces. I go back every day to check but I haven't gotten any more. Am I doing it wrong?

You get 1 map box per day. You can buy map pieces in the shop. You also get more map pieces later.

If I play on my phone it works and I get all the extras...it just doesn't download and install properly on a windows computer I guess which sucks...I'll never be able to add friends that way. :(

i also have this problem, do not worry you can still play the game. you can get enough gears for the warehouse upgrades

It will not add any of the friends that I am bringing over to the game. It stays at zero and I know they have downloaded it, some have gotten requests and accepted it but still doesn't show anything and therefore I can't complete the quest. :(

not so sure but think you have to pay for bonus' perhaps you used your gems

I am having the same issue but no solution yet.

it might be better to ask here facebook.com/pages/Island-Experiment-Community/…

sorry wrong coins i think. on the islands you travel too the coins you pick up can be used to purchase things to upgrade your boat if you can not pick enough up

Go to the store in the last tab you can spend THOSE coins from the islands on map fragments, and other items to upgrade your boat.

you need the coins to complete tasks such as food making house building etc

Hy Lacie Wells. You can see the bird on his large feet. If you have found it and clicked, he flies continue with short feet. The bird appears approximately every 10 minutes.

Are yall talking about the birds that are carrying a bag of coins or am I missing birds that I could be collecting coins from?

hi anne, yes i have the same problem with the moles. glad to be of help with the big feet tip.

Seems like your file is outdated.
I just downloaded the updated file here tinyurl.com/…
Have fun all!
