Gardens of Time: How to Get Energy

In Gardens of Time, Temporal Energy is used to play through scenes. Each scene requires 10 energy.  You start out with 60 energy, and it regenerates every 5 minutes.  There are also a couple ways to get energy if you need it.

Visit Neighbors





Each day that you visit you can get 1 energy per neighbor.  If you have a lot of neighbors, this can really come in handy!

Gardens of Time: How to Earn Coins


In Gardens of Time, you need coins in order to buy decorations, expansions, and buildings (which are needed to gain reputation so that you can play more scenes and unlock new chapters of the story).  Earning coins comes naturally throughout the game, but you might find yourself wanting extra coins for something expensive.  Here is a complete guide that will show you how to get coins in Gardens of Time.

Complete Quests

Each time you complete a quest, you earn coins.  Most quests give out 50 silver, which is a decent amount of money.  This isn't the fastest way to earn coins, but it is one of the more fun ways because you will get to learn more about the exciting story in Gardens of Time.

Visit Neighbors


You can visit your neighbors one time per day for a sweet bonus reward.

Blitz


When visiting neighbors, you can find a patron with an exclamation over their head who has claimed to have lost something.  Click on them to start a "Blitz Mode" in which you can try to click and find as many objects in a scene as possible within 60 seconds.  This will give you coins based on how many you find.  A great way to earn extra money!

Level Up

When you level up in Gardens of Time you will earn coins for each time.

Complete Scenes

Playing the game and completing scenes will earn you coins for each time you play.  You will earn more coins if you score high.

Trade Gold For Coins

5 Gold -> 3,640 coins
10 Gold -> 7,280 coins
15 Gold -> 10,920 coins

Gardens of Time: How to Get Reputation

In Gardens of Time, reputation is used to unlock new scenes.  If you don't have the required amount of reputation, the only other option to is pay your way into the new scenes and chapters by buying Gold with your precious hard-earned real money.  So you're probably wondering how to get reputation in Gardens of Time, and this guide can help you do just that.


Get Stars By Playing Through Scenes

Each time you complete a scene, you earn points that can unlock stars.  Each scene has a maximum of 4 stars, and each time you get a star you will earn reputation.  Play through scenes over and over again to max out each one, and you will earn reputation that can save you precious space in your Garden.

Decorate Your Garden




Decorating your Garden with Decorations, Artifacts, and Buildings can increase your reputation.  The quickest thing to do is buy Decorations, as they do not require any time in order to finish building.  However, they earn the lowest amounts of reputation.  The buildings and artifacts all require time to build, starting at 5 minutes and going up to 16 hours.
