Diamonds, boosts and VIP
How to earn Diamonds and what they do.
Earning Diamonds
You start with 50 Diamonds. Earn more by levelling up, opening the daily chest, finishing achievements, confirming your e-mail address and with your neighbourhood chest. Confirming your e-mail address pays 10 Diamonds once.
Spend Diamonds to finish production at once, buy parts, or start boosts: double XP, faster production or double taxes for a while.
Is a home missing only goods for its upgrade? Tap Buy missing and upgrade: the missing goods are bought with Diamonds and used at once.
Anything that costs more than 50 Diamonds asks for a yes first, so a tap by mistake never spends a lot.
Boosts
| Boost | 30 min | 1 hour | 24 hours |
|---|---|---|---|
VIP
VIP, for days: faster production, a little more taxes, an extra production slot in every factory and shop, a double daily chest and double coins from events.
VIP also lets the City Bank fill for 12 hours instead of 6, doubles the coins and XP from daily tasks and residents (up to 15 residents a day instead of 10), and shows your name in gold in the chat.
VIP costs 500 Diamonds for 7 days or 1500 Diamonds for 30 days. Boosts last 30 minutes, 1 hour or 24 hours.
Daily chest and tasks
The daily chest grows with your streak: from 2 Diamonds on day 1 to 12 on day 7. Miss a day and the streak starts again.
Next to the streak, the chest window has three daily tasks. Each pays coins and XP; finish all three for a Building Part and 2 Diamonds. New tasks come at 0:00 UTC.
Every 30 minutes while you play, a resident with a "!" asks for something: make goods, collect taxes, open gifts or bring goods, within a few minutes. Tap them to take it on. Up to 10 a day pay coins, XP and Civic Tokens; the 5th and 10th add a Building Part.
Weekly agenda and passes
Every week (from Monday 0:00 UTC) the weekly agenda gives you tasks, such as producing goods, collecting taxes and upgrading homes. Every task you finish earns points, and every 20 points opens the next of 12 tiers of the Civic Pass, with coins, parts, tokens and Diamonds.
The Mayor's Pass (€4.99 a week) adds a second lane with bigger rewards on the same tiers, for that week.
Season Pass
The Season Pass runs for a season (Autumn 2026: November 1 – December 21, Winter 2026: December 22 – March 20). Earn points with the daily chest, daily tasks, residents, the weekly agenda and events, up to 250 a day, and climb 100 tiers. Everyone collects the free lane; the Season Pass (€19.99, once for the whole season) opens the paid lane with more rewards on every tier, season avatars and titles under your name. Skip a tier for 100 Diamonds. Rewards can be collected for 7 days after a season ends.
Buying Diamonds
In the Diamond shop you can buy Diamond packs; payment is safe through Stripe (iDEAL, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay). New mayors can buy the Starter Pack once: 1,250 Diamonds, coins and 5 Civic Tokens for €2.99.
