The Ultimate Guide to Travel Town Boosters

Feeling stuck? Learn how to use Boosters to overcome challenges, speed up your progress, and maximize your rewards.

What Exactly Are Boosters in Travel Town?

In Travel Town, progress is all about merging items to fulfill tasks. But sometimes, you hit a wall. Maybe you need a high-level item that will take days to create, or you accidentally merged past something you desperately need. This is where Boosters come in. Boosters are powerful, single-use items designed to give you a strategic advantage. They are not producers and they don't create new items; instead, they manipulate the items you already have or provide a burst of resources. Think of them as your secret weapons for tackling the toughest challenges and accelerating your game.

The Different Types of Boosters & How to Use Them

Understanding what each booster does is the key to using them effectively. Wasting a rare booster can set you back, while using one wisely can feel like skipping ahead several levels. Here’s a breakdown of the primary boosters in Travel Town.

The Joker

The Joker is arguably the most powerful and sought-after booster in the game. It functions as a "wild card" for merging. When you drag any item onto the Joker, it transforms into a duplicate of that item, effectively creating a pair ready to be merged. For more details, check our dedicated Joker Guide.

Best Use Strategy: The Joker's true power lies in its ability to duplicate the highest-level items. Never waste it on low-level items! The best time to use a Joker is when you have a single, very high-level item (e.g., a level 8 or 9 item) and need just one more to complete a long merge chain. Using it at this stage saves you an immense amount of time and energy.

The Splitter

The Splitter is the "undo" button you've always wanted. It allows you to reverse a merge. When you apply a Splitter to a merged item, it will break back down into the two lower-level items that were used to create it. You can learn more in our Splitter Guide.

Best Use Strategy: The Splitter is perfect for two main scenarios. First, when you accidentally merge past an item that is required for a task. Second, when you have one high-level item but need two different lower-level items to complete separate tasks. The Splitter lets you deconstruct the item to fulfill both orders.

Scissors

Scissors are used to divide a stack of items. For example, if you have a stack of 20 coins, using Scissors can split it into two stacks of 10 coins. This booster primarily works on items that stack, like coins and diamonds.

Best Use Strategy: Scissors are great for board management. If a large stack of coins is taking up a valuable spot, you can split it and move the smaller stacks around. They are also useful when you need a specific, smaller number of an item for a task and don't want to use the entire stack.

Energy Boosts

The simplest but most essential booster is the Energy Boost. These are consumable items that instantly add a set amount of energy to your bar, allowing you to keep playing. They come in various sizes, often found in blue chests or as rewards.

Best Use Strategy: While it's tempting to use them immediately, try to save Energy Boosts for special events. During timed events like the Mysterious Fossil, having a stockpile of energy can be the difference between finishing the event and missing out on the grand prize.

How Do You Get Boosters?

Boosters are valuable, and the game doesn't give them away easily. Here are the primary ways to acquire them:

• Event Rewards: This is the most common way to earn the rarest boosters like Jokers and Splitters. Completing milestone rewards in special events is your best bet.
• Shop Purchases: Boosters are frequently offered in the shop, sometimes as daily deals for gems or in bundles for real money.
• Leveling Up: Occasionally, you'll receive a booster as a reward for reaching a new player level.
• Daily Tasks & Chests: Simpler boosters like Scissors and small Energy Boosts can often be found by completing your daily tasks or opening chests.

By understanding each booster and planning when to use it, you can transform your gameplay from a slow grind into a strategic and rewarding experience. Save the rare ones, use the common ones wisely, and watch your town flourish!
