Hey! It’s soon midsummer in Sweden, and today we uploaded a new and exclusive clip from the upcoming movie Ice Age Continental Drift into the Ice Age Village game!

Go inside the game and take a look at the clip in the movie theater (make sure to build one if you don’t have any)!

We also collected some info about the game so far, and here’s how big the Ice Age Village world really is! (click on the pic for a larger image).

The first three tips weren’t enough for you? You had to have all 6? Well, welcome back Ice Age Village fans! And for those of you not playing Ice Age Village, you can start playing free on iPhone, iPad, & Android. So what’s stopping you! Don’t let Manny, Sid, and the rest of the herd down; keep reading for the rest of our Ice Age Village tips…

We are fa-mi-ly!

Animals are your main source of coins. So, try to complete as many families as you can, because every new member will give you 25% more coins! And be sure you get all your favorite characters including sloths, mammoths, & possums. Once complete, you can redeem the “Main Characters” collection for your own Sabertooth tiger. Diego will be thrilled!

Plus, stay on the lookout for sales and giveaways by joining our Ice Age Village Facebook page. You’ll be the first to know about our BEST Ice Age Village promotions!

The secret Shaolin in Scrat

Have fun daily with the Scrat Mini Game! Slice Piranhas and avoid the pesky spiky fish to earn rewards each day you play. The reward system is random, so if you’re lucky you might get the daily special prize.   It changes, you guessed it, daily, and will help you expand your collections. Plus, you can win lots of coins & even ACORNS!

You need tokens to play more than once a day, so be on the lookout. Try clearing snow piles and collecting from fun buildings, because they might just drop some!

So start practicing your Kung Fu-skills and get slicing!

More acorns you say?

Acorns are very helpful and fortunately there are tons of ways to earn them. You can buy them from the shop directly, but if you know your Ice Age Village well enough, you can get some for free!

Where could an acorn hide from Scrat in the Ice Age Village? The answer is a snow pile!! As soon as you see them, make sure they’re cleared, because there’s a chance they’ll drop acorns. Another way to get free acorns is from watching movies in your Movie Theater, so be sure to head to the movies often. And don’t forget to keep an eye on your collections. Redeeming them will make you go nutz with acorns!

So to recap, here are all of the ways you can get your paws on acorns… Scrat is going to be sooo jealous!

• In the Shop
• When You Add New Friends
• In gifts: Send your friends presents everyday.. They might send you acorns in return!
• In snow piles: Don’t let those suckers pile up!
• By Playing Scrat’s Minigame
• As a Daily Bonus
• By Leveling Up
• By Completing Missions
• Using the Free Acorn Button

Scrat’s hunt for his favorite acorn has opened a crack in the Earth’s crust, sending the animals scurrying for safety. So it’s Manny, Ellie, Diego, and Sid to the rescue! Help the herd regroup and rebuild their vibrant community in Ice Age Village available for free on iPhone, iPad, & Android.

And for those of you already playing, we put together a list of the best tips and tricks in Ice Age Village. When it comes to IAV, it’s all about the acorns. So start stock piling them with these great tips and make your village the baddest in town:

Playing with friends is better!

Invite your friends to play & make new ones on the Ice Age Village forums. Once they’ve gotten started, you can stop by their towns and “like” their handy-work daily. You will give them reputation points and goodies just by saying you think their village is awesome! And as their reputation gets better, their gifts get better too.  ;)

You can also leave them special gifts including coins and acorns. And don’t forget to watch out for Scrat while you’re visiting. If you catch him, he will give you extra coins every day.

To the North!
As your village grows you will need to expand. Try to get expansions that have decorations, so you can use them in your town.  Big decorations like “Scrat in Ice” or a “Fire King Scrat,” will give your families a great bonus!

If you don’t have enough coins or acorns to get an expansion, but you’re still out of space, you can put away the families/fun stuff that give you the least coins and replace them with better ones. This will help you get more coins to expand. You can always replace the items later. They’re stored in your Inventory in “Collections.”

Pretty and rich ..Pretty rich?

Speaking of decorations, placing them throughout your village will make your village look awesome, and also give your animal families & buildings a coin bonus.  Try to place your best decorations (we recommend the Carnivorous Flower) near the families that cash out the most. You’ll be racking in coins in no time!

Wait, where’s the last 3 tips?! Don’t worry, check back tomorrow for the rest of our awesome tips and tricks! I think your animals can wait 24 hours… No? They can’t wait? Well, fine, here are the last three tips. I hope you’re happy!
