Here’s what’s new :

You get a new estate.

You’ll see a new ‘estates’ tab in the marketplace, which will show you all the new items available with your new estate. Of course, all your regular marketplace tabs will work just the same.

Similarly, you’ll see an ‘estates’ tab on your inventory screen that shows all the items you’ve purchased for the new estate. Again, all your regular inventory tabs will work just the same way you’re used to.

You’ll see a new ‘estates’ tab on the scene selector that lets you play all the scenes from Search for the Seven Sons.

When visiting neighbors, you will see a similar ‘estates selector’ button on your neighbor’s estate. You can use this to visit all your neighbor’s new estates, in much the same way you do for your own estates.

You’ll see some new quests for Search for The Seven Sons in a cool new icon style!

Here’s what stays the same :

•        Your present estate stays the same.

•        All quests continue to work the same. Around The World quests and all other quests will still be visible and playable, whether you’re on your present estate or the new estate.

•        All your scene play progress, scores and trophies remain the same.

•        All estate points you accumulate in the old and new estate go towards your estate point total.

Q: How do I travel to my new estate?

First, click on the new ‘Estate Selector’ button. You will find this on the main toolbar, near the inventory button. (If you don’t see this button, and you are above level 20, try refreshing your browser)

Clicking this will bring up the Estate Selector screen, which looks like this: 

Click on the estate you wish to travel to, and – Voila! – you’ll be transported to your new estate! (Initially, only Iceland will be available. Soon, you will get more estates)

Q: How do I go back to Ramsey Manor?

On the Estate Selector screen, click the ‘Return to Ramsey Manor’ button to return to your home estate.
