Levels, missions and badges
Experience and levels, missions, badges and the daily gift.
⭐ Experience and levels
You earn experience (XP) for almost everything: buying animals and buildings, collecting food, finishing missions, badges, special visitors and minigames. Enough XP and you level up, all the way to level 30. Each new level gives you money and Zoo Tokens.
Higher levels open research (level 10 and up), make the daily gift and mission rewards bigger, and make building take longer.
