Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City iPhone/iTouch/iPad Cheats
Clam key hintYou must solve Puzzle 9 (the big statue). Once the statue is completed, a pearl will appear (not the key). Have a Master Builder pick up the pearl. He or she will take it to the waterfall to be "finished". After that, have the tribal chief pick up the finished blue pearl. The chief will use the pearl to get the key from the giant clam. |
Quick babies hints-Place a male on a female, or vice versa. The message "Going indoors for some privacy" will appear. Move the male villager from his place. You will see a baby in the hand of the female villager.
|
Finding respawned objectsWhen your adults are gathering objects (keys, firewood, etc.), they may drop them if interrupted by a celebration or if you click on them. The item will then respawn to where it was first found. |
GemsSquare gem

Building the big green blue statueTo build the large green blue statue, buy Leadership and Restoration. |
Faster events hintThe time that the game runs is based on your computer's clock. It is possible to shorten things by setting the clock ahead and then going back. Be wary though, occasionally people will die over this time. Note: Try doing this by an hour at a time at first to avoid death from disease or starvation. Also, when clearing the rubble by the bath, do not set the time ahead. The tablet pieces that you should get from clearing the rubble will disappear and there will be no other way to get them. |
Gathering herbs hintWhile collecting herbs for alchemy, children of almost any age can gather herbs for the potions. However, they cannot make the potions. |
Lift puzzle hintHave one Adept Builder and two Master Builders . Note: You cannot have a Trainee Builder. |
Avoiding useless ChiefsIf your first chief has recently died and you have completed the alchemy lab, use the following trick to avoid another useless chief. Have a child (preferably a young female) drink the potion Tiger Lily + Tiger Lily + Lotus, then drop her on the unclaimed robe. Note: You must complete puzzle three. Since a young female was used, she can still collect items when she is a kid and can have babies when she is an adult. |
Easy magic food hintNote: A Tribal Chief is required for this code. Drag your chief to the food to have him either create magic food or refuse. If he refuses, do the following. Go to "Menu", then "Options". Set the time to paused. Press Stop then go to "Settings", then "General", then "Date And Time", then "Set Date And Time". Select the current date and advance it by one day. Return to the game and unpause the time, then drag your Tribal Chief back to the food. He will now create more magic food. Repeat this as many times as desired. |
Lift hintThe lift is useful for placing an adult and allowing you to find them in the same place a few seconds later. You can use this to get the couples you want to have babies. Other places where villagers linger are the waterfalls and bath (when completed). |
Finding collectables hints-Turtle shells can be found around the waterfall and mating build. |
Easy parenting skill hintAn elderly female is required. Instead of actually having to make the babies and wait out their growth, simply have your person be with an older woman. Use a male on the elderly female as if you wanted them to have children. Repeat this. Only use the male on the female, because if you use the female on the male the female will get the points. |
Gem key hintKeep lighting the fire to notice sparkles around the fire. Let it burn out and the key should appear. However, it is too hot to pick up. Head to the waterfalls where the villagers get a drink and drop them there. The key must be there in order to do this. The villagers action will be "Putting water on the firepit". Keep doing until it has cooled. |
Food hints-Before starting the game, set your system date ahead by one day. Then, after smoking the bees and planting your first seed , allow the game to run and set your clock to the correct date. You should now have 3,000 honey and 1,000 fruit.
|
Herbs hintsYour villagers will "see" the following herbs when you fly them over:
|
Infinite honeyIf one of your villagers likes running, have that villager smoke the hive. By doing this, the bees will stay and you will have never-ending honey. |
Double tech points and foodWhile collecting items (turtle shells, corals, tablets, and feathers), if you already have gathered that item you will earn tech points. Mushrooms are food (red is more food than brown). You can double your profits by placing two children on the same item. If done fast enough you will end up with two of the same item. This is useful when low on food. |
Tablet piecesThe collectible tablet pieces will start appearing near the rubble when the rubble clearing project has gotten started with at least 2%. |
Potion combinations:Combine the following ingredients to get the corresponding potions:
|
Pink diamond key hintYou must solve Puzzle 3, then collect the following herbs for a potion: Cactus, Rose, Lotus. Make the potion and have a villager other than a nursing mother drink it. That villager should feel "light and springy". Drop them by the pink diamond (the hanging object) just above the rose plant. Their action should read "Trying to reach the key". They will jump up and collect the key.
