About[]
There are many islands in Zombie Castaways. Here is the list of all islands, brief descriptions, and travel methods.
Buildable Islands[]
Love Island[]
This is the main island where you begin. It has docks to travel to Big Land and Secret Island. You can only build structures and plant crops on the Love Island and the Big Land. Use the Love Island for growing crops and to build on. Clear it completely so you have space for planting, growing crops and building structures. Every building will allow you to craft something and many will let you pick a treasure chest every three hours. These chests give you free resources. Build everything as soon as the game allows as you level up. If you need gold, grow and sell cash crops like roses (things that are cheapest grow but fetch high price) Never sell Glue, Gears, Water and Blue Crystals you will need lots of those.
Big Island[]
Important to clear with Brainy Zombie Wood and Stone cutters so you can populate it with decorations you find or buy, under which, you or your Treasure Hunter zombie will find collectibles that can be exchanged for important items. Also, you can hunt for them yourself with Cat, Pig, Elephant piggy banks. These will also give you rare, important extra stuff like water, gears etc. There is also plenty of Blue Crystal for building Water Wells on Love Island that gives you tools. Buy a Fisherman Zombie for Zombucks he will not only find you rare collectibles but also speeds up your Brainy Zombie. The Zombie Cinema is a waste of time and resources. It's worth buying the upper part of the island with Zombie Bucks although there is a cave with a gate you can build in the middle at the West end of the road crossing the centre of the island West to East.

Adventure Islands[]
Adventure Islands have two "Tiers". The top islands and the bottom islands. Each top island that you travel to will permanently lock the previous top island, with the bottom islands also locking the previous bottom island.
Secret Island[]
The first of the "permanent" islands that is purely for discovery and questing. Has a catapult to the Mad Island, and later can have a ship to Troy Island (after finishing Mad Island). Despite graphical location, this is a "Top" island, and is locked via Troy Island.

Mad Island[]
Mad Island is noteworthy in that it has two unlimited Waterwells to give you lots of free tools. You will find them early on if you begin towards the middle then Eastward. These golden Water Wells can be moved but only on Mad island. Find the Mad Haunted House near top East and put into storage. Place it on your Big Island. It will come handy later helping your cooks save time with two recipes. The Mad Lighthouse is at the South Eastern corner, build, store, place onto Big Island for three hourly treasure boxes with useful resources. If you move your Zombie along the upper islands on the map, the Mad island remains open so you can use the water wells. Don't move onto the lower islands that closes the Mad one until it's absolutely necessary as leaving will close it, thus cutting you off your two precious tool sources.

In order for the ship to appear, you must have finished all of the quests on the Mad Island, above. It appears on the south-most point on Secret Island, a little bit to the east of the point. Says that Secret Island will close forever if you venture to Troy Island, and indeed locks it with a green "Completed" banner. Once you've finished the island quests, remember to put the Wooden Horse into storage then place it on the Big Island. It makes wooden blocks needed at level 45 building the oven.
