Kendall And Kylie Game Tips, Tricks And Cheats
How To Get More Energy Bolts
While becoming a social media star may not be a “real” job, it certainly requires plenty of effort – and energy. Once you work your way through the initial gameplay, you’ll receive different energy missions and objectives that require energy bolts. These missions include going on dates, creating and posting vlogs , attending concerts and parties – just the kind of stuff aspiring social media celebrities do. Each mission lasts a certain amount of time – some take as little as 30 minutes while others can last hours. During that time, your goal is to earn as many stars are you can by doing different activities related to the mission. But these activities cost energy, which is really hard to come by. You can buy K-Gem diamonds with real-world cash, then purchase items that give you energy, but no one wants to do that. After playing a few of these missions, here’s some tricks we discovered for getting more energy during the game.
Pro Tip 2: Don't waste your time trying to cheat the Kendall and Kylie game with the time set back hack you can use on a lot of popular games. If you try it, it works for half a second and then the game resets itself.
1) Get A Pet – In your apartment, you have the option to purchase a pet. It costs $50 for a hamster in your first apartment, which gives you free energy, money and experience when you pet it. Make sure to pet your pooch every now and again, and you’ll start gaining extra goodies from your furry friend.
2) Tap on everything at a location - Each location you visit has some objects that give you goodies when you tap on them. Don't go inside any buildings, just explore the outside area and tap on anything you see. Soon you should find objects that give you money, experience or energy points. Those refill about every 15 minutes, so when you are doing a quest, it's a good idea to walk outside every 15-20 and tap on stuff for extra energy and other goodies.
3) Choose higher energy activities during missions – Though it’s tempting to select mission activities that only use one or two energy bolts to complete, this is actually a bad strategy. The amount of money, experience and followers you gain when you complete missions increases if you have more stars when you finish them. To fill in each mission star, you have to gather 10 green stars on activities performed inside the mission. Every activity you complete gives you experience, stars or energy. While it might seem as though the number of stars earned correlates to energy used, it doesn’t. Every time I’ve selected an activity that takes one or two energy bolts, I’ve come out of it with just one or two stars and maybe an experience point. On the other hand, an activity that takes 5 energy bolts, repeatedly yields 8 green stars, extra experience points and sometimes even extra energy bolts. The bottom line: go big or go home.
3) Go into missions with full energy and only complete one at a time – Keeping in mind the previous tip, the best strategy for gaining high star performances on missions is to go into them with a full set of energy. You earn an energy bolt every 3-5 minutes, so if you are low, hold off on starting a new activity until you have plenty of energy to complete it. Remember, missions are time-limited, and going in with low energy is more likely to result in a low star performance. Also, while you might be tempted to try to do two missions at once so you can get more money and experience, this is a bad idea. You’re basically spreading yourself too thin, and will get a poor result on two missions instead of doing a great job on one.
How To Get More K- Gem Diamonds
1) Unlock Achievements –K-Gem Diamonds are mainly earned by completing different Achievements in the Kendall and Kylie game. You can find the Achievements menu by tapping on the list icon in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, then tapping on the achievements icon in the upper right-hand corner. There, you’ll see a huge list of achievements you can unlock. One of the easiest is simply buying new clothes or accessories for your character. As you go through the game you are earning money, so don’t be afraid to splurge on new gear. Just hold back enough to cover your cab fare to and from places.
2) Complete Quests - the game is full of quests, from making vlogs, doing low-key events for Perry, attending parties and going on dates. Complete these well by earning 4-5 green stars and you'll maximize the number of K-Gems you earn.
2) Watch Some Videos – the Kendall and Kylie game doesn’t throw you a lot of free bones, but you can get an extra K Diamond from watching a video clip here and there. Access these videos by tapping on something you don’t have enough K-Gems to unlock; you’ll be presented with the option to watch a video to earn one.
3) Connect To Facebook – if you are playing this game to win, connecting to Facebook is definitely a good idea. Not only will you get extra money and K-Gems, it’ll come in handy if you have friends playing too. They can help you out along the way.
