Starting up Travel Crush and getting right into the game is easy peasy lemon squeezy! You can be up and crushing tiles in only a few seconds, which comes in handy when you have just a little bit of time to spare. But if you want to fully immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Travel Crush, you will need to explore the User Interface (otherwise known as UI).
Guide UI
This guide will highlight the features in Travel Crush such as:
- Restoring Wonders
- Exploring events
- Experiencing the beauty of the world through Tripstagram posts
- Socializing with friends
- Maximizing your playtime
Getting Started
The first few levels in Travel Crush will show you the basics of gameplay and are super easy to complete! Once you’re past the tutorial is where the fun starts.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or a noob, each time you start up the game you will be brought straight to a level starting screen where you will find:
- The level you are playing (Level #, Wonder, or Detour with Locals).
- The difficulty level.
- The currently running event and timer.
- Select Boosters: Pick a booster to start with on a level.
- If you have the Popcorn Bonus you can watch a short ad for a free Power-up in your level!
***TIP: If you select a booster, it will start each level with the same booster until you turn it off!***
- If you have the Popcorn Bonus you can watch a short ad for a free Power-up in your level!
- A HUGE GREEN GO BUTTON, which is self-explanatory. Press it and you will GO play the level!
- The ‘X button will take you back to the map screen.
Map Screen UI
This is where you can navigate through the interface of Travel Crush. Some features have a few different ways to get to them so you can always find what you need at any time. Let’s start with what you see when the map screen is presented.
Note: Some icons will be different depending on any specials or current events running at the time!
Lives
- Shows the number of lives you have remaining, plus a timer until you earn the next life. Unless you have an Unlimited Lives boost running, then it will have a countdown until that boost has ended.
- Max lives are 5 unless you have purchased the Life Lifter which increases your max lives to 9!
PRO-TIP: Buy this pack when your lives are at 0 and the Life Lifter will refill your lives as it increases the max to 9! - Press the + button to get to the Shop.
Stars Earned
- You earn a Star each time you complete a level. This number under the crown is how many times you have completed a level, whether it’s on Classic, Hard, or Super Hard difficulty. Click on the crown to find out where you rank out of the whole game community, your country, or even your friends!
Gold
- The amount of Gold you currently have. Click on the Gold to see how much of the other types of in-game currency you have or to get to the Shop to buy more.
Events and Weekly Tournament
- These will vary depending on which events are running at the time. There is almost always a current event, but the Weekend Tour only runs on, you guessed it, the WEEKEND!
- The Weekly Tournament restarts every Monday. If you’re one of the top players in the world, your country, or your friends, you will receive a reward!
- Daily Trivia and Didi, the Pickpocketer will show up here as well!
Special Purchases
- Rare and unique packs will sometimes show up on the right side of the map. Click on the icon to see what the special offers are. If you’re lucky, there might even be a free item for you to grab!

Game Board Interface
If you look around the board before you start breaking through obstacles, you’ll see a lot more than just the colorful tiles on the screen! The following features are there to help you complete each level.
Goals
This is what you need to do to complete the level, simple and easy and the points don’t matter!
Pro Tip: Read the 10 Tips to Getting Started in Travel Crush guide.
Don’t get stuck trying to remove Obstacles that aren’t listed in the Goals section. You could be wasting your precious moves.
Level # and Objective (if any)
Alongside the profile pic of Fennec, is the current level being played and an icon that shows the objective for the running event. It could be a color tile, Power-up, or something else that shows up with the tiles on the board. The number next to it shows you how many points you will get as long as the level is completed.
Moves
Keep your eyes on this number, because when it gets to 0 it is GAME OVER! Although, you can use Gold to keep on going!
Tips for when you’re running low on Moves:
- Use your Superboost with a few moves left if you don’t think you can complete the level.
- Don’t be scared to use a Hammer to remove a tricky Obstacle or a tile needed to move on.
Match 3 Board
Always pay attention to the whole board since Obstacles and Portals might make things especially tricky.
Hammer
The Hammer icon will show a number beside it if you have any in your inventory. Use this to break one tile or Obstacle without wasting a move.
Do you need more Hammers? You can get 1 every 8 hours by sharing a Tripstagram post, or you can find them in gifts from friends and event rewards!
Superboost
Each time you use a Power-up on the board, your Superboost meter will increase. When the ring has been completed, you can click on the thundercloud to remove 12% of the tiles on the board!
- Use this if you need to create more moves on the board.
- If you don’t use it, it will be activated after the level has been completed.
Didi (if shown)
Complete the Didi ring and when the level is complete, Didi will steal some Gems from a random player which will double your Gold won from that level.
- Feeling petty? Get revenge on players who have sent Didi after your Gems by clicking the ‘Revenge’ button before sending him off! 😉
Settings
Adjust the sound and vibration settings, get to the FAQ/Contact us page quickly, or end the level.
- Ending the level will count as a loss!
Using the UI
After poking around the various features in the game, you will get more acquainted with how to maximize your gameplay experience.
Whether you’re a completionist (EVERYTHING MUST BE DONE) and need to quickly restore Wonders or finish events, or you’re a quick ‘tap tap tap’ player who can’t get to the next level quick enough, Travel Crush has something for you in its menus.
If you know more about the User Interface, then you can find extra rewards to easily complete levels or figure out where you need to go to get that last bit done for your Passport stamps.
