How to play
Merge Haven is a fun merging game, where you merge objects to fulfill different requests. There are many steps to the game. First, when you start, you'll see a small story sequence.
Story sequences can be skipped by clicking on the Skip icon on the top right.
You can also restore past progress by clicking on "Restore Progress" if you've played the game before on your account.
Merge Haven is made up out of tasks you must complete. Each of them will be displayed in the game's current room as shown here, and requires a specific number of Stars. You get these by completing requests. Each task will grant you the rewards shown below.
As you complete tasks, you'll fill in the experience bar in the current room. You'll grow in levels as you play.
When clicking on the task you want to complete, you'll see all available stars and the rewards you'll receive.
More orders means more stars, which you can use to unlock more rewards.
On the top left, you'll see your avatar, with your current level.
You can click on your avatar to choose a different one. You can also pick a new in-game name.
You'll also be able to see your Gold, Energy and Stars on the top left. Gold is used to buy things in the game. Energy is used to do different game actions. Stars are used to complete tasks.
If you click in Gold or Energy, you'll be able to buy amounts of it in a Shop. Energy can be bought by using Gold. Gold can be bought by using Gems.
You can check the game's settings on the top right.
The settings allow you to mute sounds and music, and change your language in the game.
To start the game, you have to go to the board. Click on the board icon to start.
After which, you'll see the requests on the right of the board. These have specific items that you'll have to merge to achieve.
Let's try getting this one in particular. This one asks for a carrot cake.
To get carrots, we can click on the carrot bucket to get enough. This process spends energy.
We can merge carrots into larger portions. Every item on the board can be either merged with others of the same kind or collected.
As we merge more and more carrots into more advanced items, we can finally achieve the carrot cake! The checkmark means it's an item that has been requested.
Click on "Serve" and you'll have fulfilled a request. You'll earn the stars on the request.
After you collect enough stars, you can complete tasks.
These will help you free more and more of the room you're currently playing in. Completing all tasks means progress in the game.
When you finish several tasks, you'll raise your level and receive rewards.
If there are stars or gold on the board, you can collect them by clicking on them.
You can also merge them to achieve higher rewards.
If you find a part of the board with cobwebs that blocks it, all you need to do is to merge it with the same item. This will free up the space to be used.
If you need extra space, you can also sell items for stars on the bottom left. You can also click on the "i" on the top right to check the evolution of the merged item.
You can also open and put items in the backpack if you want to store them for later.
You'll be able to gather more different types of items that produce others as you play the game. These will make you able to free up more of the board.
You can also get bonus items through the icon on the top right when receiving them. The number will show how many you can receive.
At times, chests may appear. You can open them after some time when clicking them.
You can also speed up the process by paying with gold or watching an ad.
Any current events the game goes through will show up on the right, you'll be able to explore and take part in them. You can scroll through them by clicking and dragging.
You can claim login rewards on the top right.
Make sure to login often to clear tasks and receive rewards.
You can access the settings and the item shop on the top right of the screen.
The Item Shop allows you to purchase a variety of different needed items.
Tips
Here is how to get better at playing Merge Haven:
- Plan around your orders
- Check your current orders before merging anything.
- Work toward the items you actually need rather than making random high-level items.
- If an order needs a specific item, trace its merge chain backward and focus your energy there.
- Protect your board space
- Empty spaces are extremely valuable because new items constantly appear.
- Avoid filling the board with items from unrelated chains.
- When the board gets crowded, prioritize completing an order or merging items to create space.
- Don't merge automatically
- Just because two items can merge doesn't mean you should do it immediately.
- Sometimes you need lower-level versions for another order.
- Before merging, ask: “Will this help my current goals, or am I just making a bigger item?”
- Manage your energy carefully
- Energy is a limited resource, so spend it on actions that move you toward useful items.
- If you're not close to completing an important chain, waiting for energy to regenerate can be better than wasting it.
- Save energy for when you have enough board space and a clear objective.
- Save useful items and boosters
- Don't immediately sell or consume items just because you don't need them right now.
- Future orders may require them, and keeping a few useful items can save significant energy.
- Use boosters when they solve a real bottleneck—not merely to speed up an easy merge.
- Think several merges ahead
- For difficult orders, work backward from the final item: determine what it requires, then what those items require.
- This helps you avoid accidentally merging or using something you'll need later.
- The best players aren't necessarily making the most merges—they're making the right merges in the right order.
Scoring
The game of Merge Haven doesn't have the typical model of scoring the same way other Arkadium titles do. The Merge Haven game is incompatible with the Arkadium leaderboards. As opposed to other games, the objective of Merge Haven is to overcome different objectives and progress.
