Spoiler warning! This article contains some information about the game that you might not want to accidently read. |
There are 14 mysteries to be solved.
Each island contains 3 of them. If you are looking for an island with specific mysteries on it, see the Island page for help in choosing an island.
There are two kinds of mysteries: sand mysteries (they stand on the sandy area of the island) and grass mysteries (they stand on the grass/green area of the island). On every island, you will always find one grass mystery and one sand mystery. The third mystery can be either grass or sand.
If you don't know how to solve a mystery, you can buy hints with pearl(s): click on the mystery then on the "Get Hint" button on the left side of the screen. Or you can find the solutions and rewards for them below.

Required After Solving? |
---|---|---|---|
Children's Moai[] |
If the Moai is incomplete and you move to a new island, your progress will be saved and you can continue where you left off if the new island has a Moai on it. |
The 10th baby and all future babies placed on it will get +5 Physical Strength and +5 Mental Strength. Please note that with the upgrade of multiple islands, each island counts as a tribe. While trying to solve the mystery the Moai progress saves island to island and is not grouped together until after the mystery is solved. Any tribesmen that were dropped on the Moai as babies retain the bonus permanently. As the Moai's bonus are genetic, their offspring will benefit too. |
Yes. If you move to another island, your island must have the Moai on it if you want to keep giving the bonus to new babies. |
Cloning Chamber[] |
Note: It doesn't matter, whether your neighbors' mysteries are already solved or not. (Release Date: 06 September 2010) |
Anyone dropped on the mystery will be cloned: a baby will be created with the exact same genes.
Note: The genes cloned are the original genes of the tribee, so it would be best to clone a member, who has been born via selective breeding and begins with higher stats. The clone will have the same original stats and hair colour, however, the hair style will often change. |
Yes. Any island must have one for the effects of the mystery to work. |
Cornucopia Bush[] |
|
Gives you several Unique Berry Seeds. |
No. The seeds remain in your supplies permanently, without needing to be solved on new islands. |
Ever Tree[] |
|
The tree can then be used to harvest wood from, but will never run out. |
Yes. After solving, the Ever Tree will only be available on islands that have this mystery; cannot be planted. |
Fountain of Youth[] |
|
Anyone placed on it, including the tribesman who solves it, will become young (of child-bearing age) and immortal. Although the "real" age will continue to increase as normal, the "feels like" age will remain at 40. If you want, you can also moondust an immortal tribesman down to 18 years and they will not age. From patch 0.1.78 onwards if you dip an immortal a second time, the effect is nullified and they will begin to age again. |
It is required if you would like to dip someone in it to add/remove it's effects. But it's effects do not disappear without it on the island. |
The Withered Tree / Friendship's Bloom[] |
Note: This requirement is MINIMUM required, A tribesman with 30 can do this on his own. Note: the same friend can fertilize the tree several times (over several days, or if (s)he has multiple fertilizers). (Release Date: 23 August 2010) |
3 fertilizers per neighbor instead of 1. These are shared between islands if a neighbor has multiple islands (not 3 fertilizers per island). |
No. |
Wooden / Family Statue[] |
Note: It must be activated by 5 different women. Note: When you drop a woman, the game tells you, whether she had too few babies ("such a large family"), too many babies ("such a small family"), or the right number. You can use this information to find out, which woman needs to call the stork again. Note: When a new gem appears, try again all the women, who had too many children. They may have now the right number. Note: If a woman has had more than 5 children, they will NOT active the 5th Gem. (Release Date: 04 October 2010) |
Next birth will be twins. Afterwards, you will get double the likehood of having twins. |
No. |

No. This bonus is only awarded once at the time of solving it. |

No. This effect persists after moving to a new island. |
Jewel Vault[] |
Note: One tribe member can complete multiple requirements. All the gems you use will be permanently embedded in the Vault. Warning: The jewel vault will lock onto the first gem it "sees" of the level it's looking for, and that is the only gem that will fit the slot, so check your clothing carefully before placing the tribe member. If you place one with a gem you don't want to lose and then say "no" to putting it in the slot, change the tribee's clothing to a different gem of the same rarity, and try again, the new gem won't fit -- you have to go back to the first gem that it wanted. |
One time reward of Scarce Gems: 1 Knorringite, 1 Purple Diamond, 1 Orange Diamond, 1 Moonstone. The ability to remove gems from clothing by drag/dropping a tribee on this mystery to put all current gems on clothing back into your supplies. |
Yes. The presence of this mystery is required if you wish to remove gems from clothing. |
The Crystal Pillar [] |
(Release Date: 20 September 2010) |
REWARD: Everyone, dropped on the stone, will have their hair style, hair color, and skin colour randomized. On male tribees, it can cause or reverse baldness, or give them a beard or remove it. The Obelisk can only be used once a day per player (it is once, even when you have multiple islands with this mystery). |
Yes. The genetic alterations are permanent, but you need this mystery on your island to alter new tribesperson. Any progress does transfer to other islands with this mystery. |
