Gameplay Help

1. How do I play My Talking Tom Friends?

Join Talking Tom, Talking Angela, Talking Hank, Talking Becca, Talking Ben, and Talking Ginger as they move in together for the first time!

Take care of their needs, tend to their wishes, and give them incredible lives. And advance their skills along the way! The characters will express their needs and wishes in thought bubbles above their heads. If you help them with these activities, you’ll get customization rewards and currencies, which can then be used to travel into town to pick up new items, or spent on consumables (like food or prop upgrades).

You can move through the house by scrolling horizontally. Characters can be assigned to activities by dragging and dropping them onto the desired items or furniture. You can play games tied to activities by pressing the gamepad icon when a character is using an item. To select a different character, you can tap on the character or select him/her at the bottom right corner of the screen.

To access the mini-games, all you need to do is click on the game console in the living room area.

Coins are a currency that’s used in the game. You need them to buy food and props used inside the game. You can earn coins by opening gift bags in town or by leveling up a skill. Sometimes you can get coins in the daily calendar. If you want more, you can always head over to the in-game shop and purchase more coins for quicker progress.

Game Progress

1. How do I save my game progress?

Good question! The game uses the Google Drive backup to save your progress. All you need to do is make sure that your Google Drive backup is enabled and your internet connection is active.

Sorry, but you can't transfer your game progress between different platforms just yet. Check back in with us in the future – we're working on it!

6. How do I keep my pets happy and healthy?

The same rules apply in My Talking Tom Friends as they do in real life: keep them entertained, well-fed and rested, and ensure they get plenty of sleep. However, this isn’t real life. We can’t imagine your pet dog ever wants to ride a skateboard or sing a song, and you’re going to have to deal with a lot of that here.

Here are a few tips to help you ensure they’re always in tip-top condition:

Their thought bubbles will tell you what they want

Your pets are pretty good at telling you what they want and keeping themselves busy, so it’s rarely a challenge to figure it out. In fact, you only need take a glance at the bubbles that appear above their heads, as these will give you an indication of what they want to do in any given moment.

They might display another pet, who they want to converse with, or display a football icon, indicating that they want to play with the football. Either way, simply drag your pet to the friend or item they want to interact with and drop the pet on top of that item.

You can even speed up this process by tapping on the thought bubble itself, which will teleport your pet directly to the item that they want to interact with. It’s handy stuff.

Pay attention to red bubbles, as these are urgent

It’s important to note that there are two different types of thought bubble though: regular and red. Regular thought bubbles were detailed in the previous section, and pretty much reveal your pet’s wants in any given moment.

But what of their needs? Well, that’s where the red thought bubbles come in. These are a little more urgent, as they indicate that your pet is tired, needs to eat, wants a wash, or needs the toilet. You can’t really leave them waiting when these icons pop up, so you need to react.

Fortunately, the same rules apply in that you can tap on the bubble above their head to quickly teleport to the item that they need to interact with. We thoroughly recommend doing this when a red bubble appears, though we’re not entirely sure of the consequences if you don’t.

Use the handy button on the bottom right of the screen to check on your pets

The button on the bottom right of the screen provides a really handy means of checking on your pets in a speedy manner, and we thoroughly encourage you to use it as often as possible.

Tap through your pets and take a glance at their thought bubbles to see if there’s anything they want to do, or are busy. Ideally, you want them all busy at any given moment, though we’ll get into the why of that shortly.

Take a scan around the house for any potential issues

Your pets won’t always alert you to potential issues; at least quickly. There might be rubbish lying around, for example, that can cause a health hazard. Fortunately, you can just assign a pet to the problem to clear it up.

It’s always worth just scanning left and right across the house to see if there’s anything that’s not quite right, and addressing it as quickly as possible.

My Talking Tom Friends Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Tricks and Strategies

1. Unlock All The Characters

The game begins with you being Tom’s chaperon, but soon more furry buddies who need fending after will start appearing around the house, the first one being Angela the white cat. How do you unlock new pets? Well you don’t need to do anything special really.

Simply play the game by keeping track and fulfilling Tom and Angela’s needs. As your pets keep moving in and out of the house doing activities and playing games, other characters will gradually be revealed. For example, when it’s time players will encounter Ben the pup chilling out in the bedroom area of the house.

Once a new pet is unlocked he or she will be added to the character roaster which you can access by tapping on the button on the lower left side of the display. It’s a handy option which enables you to check on your gang’s needs in quick succession without having to look for each around the house in order to examine their respective speech bubbles.

Over the course of the game players will unlock a total of 6 pets who can be leveled up by having them interact with their favorite items. By doing so, you help them develop skills in five different categories: Arty, Brainy, Homey, Friendly, and Sporty. Improving these skills will allow your characters to unlock some nice rewards in the form of gift bags once they reach a certain threshold.

The basic idea is to continue playing as much as possible, starting with Tom and Angela at first, and as you do so you will slowly work your way towards unlocking new pets to join your crew. You can’t go wrong here!

2. Do All Kinds Of Activities To Earn Rewards

Activities are the essential component around which the dynamics of My Talking Tom Friends revolve. The basic ones have to do with keeping your furry friends in good physical conditions. This means you will help them bathe, use the toilet, cook, eat and get a shot in case they feel unwell.

On the other hand, there are also fun activities which includes playing with a teddy bear, singing or using the pool. All these schemes take a few seconds to complete, and at the end of each players will be awarded stars, which in turn fill each pet’s star progress meter. To take a look at that, tap on the green chalkboard located in the living room. Each time a character completes a task from one of the five skill categories, the respective stars on the board will fill up little by little.

Next up, we are going to look at another type of activity your pets can engage in. This one will earn you stars, as well as bus tickets. In some occasions, when characters ask to do something you’ll notice a mini-game option is available. Tap the button with a controller on it and you will be able to access and play multi-level games to win bus tickets. These games can also be accessed via the Smart TV in the living room, so you can get extra bus tickets whenever you find yourself in need of more. There are five main mini-games you can choose to play:

– Berry Bounce (game can be accessed when interacting with the berry bush in the front yard): a new take on the classic platform ball games, where you have to use a ball to hit and collect a specific number of berries.

– Guitar Ace (game can be accessed when interacting with the guitar prop in the living room): in this mini game players need to tap different colored buttons in quick succession as they show up on the display.

– Sky Skater (game can be accessed when interacting with skateboard in the living room): the character rides a flying skateboard through the city and the goal is to gather as many coins and mini skateboards (which are worth 5 coins) as possible and avoid losing lives. You’ll have to be careful, as the game is riddled with obstacles including scaffoldings and birds.

– Busy Bugs (game can be accessed when interacting with the sandbox in the back garden): players need to guide bugs of certain colors to their respective burrows, but one needs be very attentive, as no two bugs can clash on the board.

– Snacks & Ladders (game can be accessed when interacting with the board game in the bedroom area): throw dice to move your pawn (blue one) on the board as you attempt to outrun your opponent (red) in the race to get to the final destination.

At the end of each game players will acquire a number of bus tickets, according to their performance. Watch an ad and the amount doubles. Speaking of ads, we’ll have to warn you that My Talking Tom Friends is filled with ads that pop from every direction. We won’t lie, it becomes very annoying, but if you like and want to play the game you will need to learn to tolerate them.

Last but not least, there’s another type of interactive activity available your pets. For example, when characters use items like the microscope or the easel you’ll have the option to play a basic game to win rewards. In the case of the microscope, you can earn bus tickets by margining smaller bacteria to produce larger ones. These games distinguish themselves from the other five through the fact that it’s impossible to fail while playing them. Therefore, our advice is to make sure you examine each item around the house to see whether or not you can play a game to earn more in-game currency.

3. Mind The Red Bubbles, These Are Urgent Needs

As you become more familiarized with the game you’ll soon realize there are two types of thought bubbles: normal and red.

You can attend to the normal ones at your own pace, as there is no need to rush to complete them. But the red ones are a bit more time-sensitive, as they translate into urgent needs. These usually involve basic needs like having to use the toilet, being sick or wanting to go to bed. When these needs arise, your pet will be exclusively focused on them, so other activities – like talking to a friend – are out of the question.

Luckily, you can simply tap the bubble above your friends’ heads to quickly teleport them in the near vicinity of the item they need to interact with. So pay attention and when you see a red speech bubble make sure to hurry and attend to your pet’s needs. Or else you risk leaving your character unfulfilled and frustrated.

4. How To Speed Up Getting Skill Rewards

Make sure to check the board from time to time to see how your pets’ start meters are progressing. For each of the five skills (Arty, Brainy, Homey, Friendly, and Sporty), your characters can earn up to 3 stars.

Once you fill up one from a certain category, your character will receive a goodie bag filled with coins, bus tickets and one extra item. It can be anything from food, a toy or another object to be used around the house.

Each character has its own scores, so make sure you check them for each of your pets in turn. Since rewards are always super useful, if you notice that one of your characters almost completed a star under one skill, make him/her pick up an activity from the same area so you can quickly fill the star and the accompanying reward. For example, if you need a bit more to complete a task in Homey, have your pet go and cook something at the stove, even if he or she hasn’t requested that via a speech bubble.

Don’t know which tasks correlates with which skill? Pay attention the meter that fills up when you interact with a certain object, as it will show a ball icon for Sporty, a spatula for Homey, a puzzle piece for Brainy, two faces for Friendly and a color palette for Arty.

5. Take As Many Bus Trips As You Possibly Can

Going on a trip is always fun and it’s no different in My Talking Tom Friends. Once you’ve gather up enough bus tickets (by doing activities and playing games), you and your gang get to embark on the bus that’s sitting right outside your home and go for an adventure in the city.

When they arrive downtown your pets will be able to visit a number of stores, each focused on the 5 skills. You are encouraged to go and visit whichever is available (not all will be open at the same time) and pick out five gift bags from the rolling conveyor. This way you get to unlock new items for your house, as well as some gold coins and other stuff. When the new items are unwrapped, they are automatically transported to your house, where you will need to activate them.

Make sure you visit all the shops, so you can get stuff which will allow you to develop all the five skills your characters need to thrive in the game. Keep in mind that if one shop is not open at a given time, it will surely be available for business the next time you roll into town with the bus.

6. Customize Your Pets’ Looks

Speaking of which, during your shopping spree in town you might also be able to grab some extra outfits for your crew. You can then have your friends try them on by visiting the wardrobe at the house. Two clothing pieces are available from the beginning, but as you progress others will be unlocked.

Players can get their hands on outfits at the mall by choosing the appropriate shopping bags, or via skill rewards. Either way, the wardrobe is shared between all the characters, so once you unlock a new clothing piece, all your gang can benefit from it – one at a time, of course.

Want to add a special touch to your characters’ looks? Well then you might want to start spending all the gold coins you have accumulated so far. Gold coins usually come as skills rewards or can be hidden in the goodie bags at the mall.

When you have enough of them you can use this particular currency in exchange for special items in the game Shop. For example, a top hat costs 7500 gold coins. Players can purchase other items using the coins including a Pastel Fence for 750 coins or a Secret Den for 7,500 coins. In additions, coins can be spent towards getting extra bus tickets. For instance, 200 coins will get you 1,000 bus tickets, while 3,000 coins will unlock 15,000 bus tickets.

Last but not least, if you’re willing to spend some real world money in this game, you can always swipe your card and get some extra clothing items. Tap on the Shop icon in the upper left corner and you can take part in the Hot Summer Sale and in exchange for a certain sum unlock all kinds of new and cute outfits for your crew.

7. Grow Your Own Food

Your pets love a good meal and they will ask for one constantly throughout the game. Which is why it’s important to keep the fridge well stocked up.

Players can acquire food items by taking bus trips and unwrapping gift bags which will hopefully contain some really yummy stuff. But as you unlock more and more characters, you’ll need to make sure that you have enough food to feed everyone.

The good news is that you can grow your own food back at home, so you won’t have to worry about running out of sustenance for your pets.

Sometimes your bus trips might be able to provide a very useful item – plant seeds. These can be planted by your pets in their little yard to become edible stuff like cabbage, tomatoes and even cotton candy. By planting the garden, you also diversify the characters’ menu, as the options you can get from the mall are a bit limited.

Furthermore, there’s another option to put food on the table for your companions. Instruct your pets to eat the berries produced by the bush in the front yard. It’s a simple and easy way to feed your characters if you don’t have anything else to offer them at one point. As a last resort, you could buy food via the fridge using gold coins.

8. Spin The Wheel For Extra Goodies

We mentioned before that this game is filled with all kinds of ads, and there’s not much you can do to escape them. So maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try a use them to your advantage as much as you can. If you ever find yourself in need of extra coins, bus tickets or other goodies, go on and scan the house until you find the moving present that says Ad.

Tap on it, watch an ad and then spin the wheel for an opportunity to win in-game currency or something even better. You can repeat the action as many times as you want, if your nerves allow it, of course!
