DesignVille: Merge & Design Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks & Strategies to Complete Makeovers Fast

1. Understand The Basics

There are basically 2 sets of main goals you need to accomplish to progress in DesignVille: Merge & Design. The first is a to-do list that outlines your next targets as far as home renovations and makeovers are concerned, where purchasing a new furniture or item to give the room a new look will cost cash. The current room you are making over in DesignVille: Merge & Design is the most basic indicator of your overall progress.

To earn cash, you will need to spend time on the merge puzzle aspect of the game. By clicking on the icon at the lower right side of the screen, you will be taken to the puzzle board littered with a variety of items scattered about. There are boxes hiding items that you can unlock once you merge successfully close to them but the items revealed are like the rest of the items on the board when you started the puzzle, which are covered in cobwebs.

DesignVille: Merge & Story

Items with cobwebs are basically grayed out because you cannot move them or fuse them together with similar items in cobwebs. You can, however, fuse items without cobwebs with them to produce a next level item without cobwebs. There are 2 basic item types that give you random items. These are important items as these are your sources of materials for merging.

There are bags or boxes with a lightning icon on them and tapping on these ones will give you random items that you can fuse together or with items in cobwebs. The designer’s backpack, gardener’s toolbox, and cart with boxes are examples of these.

Each time you tap on the special boxes to get some items, you consume 1 energy, and the special boxes also has limited uses as indicated by the bar at the lower part of their icons. Their inventory will not replenish items until they are completely emptied out and it also takes a while for them to replenish fully. Naturally, you cannot get items from them while they are still replenishing supplies.

For every type of special boxes you will encounter in the game, there are alternative sources of items like the designer’s box and gardener’s box, which can also be tapped to generate items much like their basic counterparts. These boxes, however, will only generate items with cobwebs and should be utilized carefully to ensure you have ample space to merge items. When these boxes are emptied. You can fuse the box itself as these will not replenish their supplies.

DesignVille: Merge & Story

Accomplishing goals and reaching certain milestones will earn you treasure chests. Treasure chests contain items that can be fused together to make more supply boxes as well as other useful materials. Note that fusing together supply boxes and having ones at a higher level will more likely yield higher grade items when you tap on them.

Merging items, accomplishing targets, or unlocking other special items can earn you different resources like energy, coins, EXP, and even gems. Like all items on the table, you can merge these as well to exponentially increase your gains.

All items on the board, save for resources and items in cobwebs, can be sold for coins. Coins, on the other hand is a valuable currency you can use to purchase items and energy from the shop, as well as inventory slots.

On the puzzle screen, you can see pending tasks at the left side as well as item details above it if you highlight any item. You can also see unused reward items at the upper right side as well as your inventory below it. At the lower right side of the screen, you can see the shop icon as well as the home icon, which you can click on if you want to buy something or view your renovations, respectively.

2. Prioritize Quest Targets

With renovations made being the indication of your progression in your career as a home designer, you would want to earn cash fast to purchase new furniture and other decorative items for the needed makeovers. Given that the only way to earn cash is to complete tasks relative to the merge puzzle, you should focus on getting tasks done one by one.

Tasks are comprised of items needed by different characters and while the earlier sets only have one item needed, latter requests can be a combination of 2 different items. Tasks also come in sets and you have to fulfill the current group’s requests before a new set arrives. One thing to keep in mind is that you earn cash with each objective accomplished so you can visit the home renovation scenario at any time to continue spending cash and progress through the episode.

DesignVille: Merge & Story

Prioritization as far as individual targets can vary from one scenario to the next. Sometimes, a request with only one item needed can be more challenging to accomplish than another request having 2 items needed. There is also a matter of availability in terms of your special supply boxes as it is given that they have limited number of items to churn out at a time.

The earlier sets of objectives are much simpler as the items in the board will also be fairly limited. Just the same, you should start to get to know how to prioritize completing quests and take them on strategically to earn cash at a faster pace.

3. Learn To Manage Empty Spaces

There should not be much difference as to how you go about completing requests to earn cash if there is an unlimited space for items on the board. However, a big chunk of what actually makes DesignVille: Merge & Design challenging is the space management aspect of the puzzle. To start off, there are already numerous items on the board, most of which are in boxes or have cobwebs. These items add an extra layer of challenge to managing space as you tap on your supply boxes for items.

As easy as this is when you only have a few types of items on the board, you will quickly have a mixed variety of item types that can make the merging process more complex than expected. Pair that up with higher level request items and you will quickly find yourself struggling to maintain sufficient empty spaces.

One of the tricks we utilize here relates to how we go about completing quests. Once a set of requests have been outlined at the left side of your screen, you should already start planning on which ones to accomplish first and which ones to save for last. In almost each set, you will find an item you may not be familiar with at all, making them suitable candidates for targets saved for last.

DesignVille: Merge & Story

In the case of the target items you are already familiar with, determining which ones are easier to obtain becomes the next step. The quests that are easiest for you to clear naturally should be top priority, even in cases when 2 different items are requested.

There are no time limits or any pressure imposed on the merge puzzle itself. This means that you can take as much time as you need to double check on those cobwebbed items that can be merged with the ones you pull out from the supply boxes. In the event that you can merge 2 identical items together, it should always be a priority that one of them has a cobweb.

Note that successfully merging a cobwebbed item will reveal adjacent boxes around it, leaving more cobwebbed items that you can target to eliminate moving forward.

    I really enjoyed the game, it was so much fun! But I'm really frustrated by how items keep breaking. I've been spending two whole days just trying to gather enough parts to make another water valve. I can't progress in the game because I need toilet paper and a shower head. And it's not just about the time it takes to collect the parts, but also the fact that you only get a few items when you finally manage to make something. Plus, you can only upgrade the item if you merge it with another broken item. As a result, I'm feeling pretty disappointed as a player.

    The game is fun in the beginning, but it becomes boring later on because earning diamonds is really difficult. You have to wait for hours to complete tasks. It would be nice if they could add a feature where we can get items by watching ads or videos. Also, adding gifts and other freebies would make the game more enjoyable.

    This game is great! It offers over three design options and allows you to choose where to place them. You can play it for at least an hour as it gives you energy and rewards.

    How about adding a trash can in the game? This way, we could easily dispose of items that are cluttering our space. It's straightforward - just provide a trash can for us to discard unwanted items. Currently, there are numerous boxes of unnecessary items occupying too much room.

    Enjoy the game a lot, but there are some problems. It would be great if we could delete the cobweb item boxes, they occupy too much space! There are so many items that I have to delete just to finish orders. Also, having to complete all 5 requests before getting new ones can be challenging because they often require similar tasks with limited time. I appreciate the customization options and available styles. The characters and storyline balance are also impressive.
