The long-awaited sequel to “Talking Tom & Friends” is here, and it’s even bigger! Instead of being confined to a single house, your favorite characters now inhabit an entire neighborhood, each with their own unique homes. To fully enjoy this immersive experience in “My Talking Tom Friends 2”, it’s crucial to understand the tips for doing so effectively.

In My Talking Tom Friends 2, you’ll find an abundance of mini-games, activities, and toys to explore! With so many options available right from the start, you might be overwhelmed about where to begin. To help you navigate this exciting new environment, I’ve prepared a tips and tricks guide. This way, you can make the most of the game and ensure you don’t miss out on any of the enjoyable activities in Tom’s latest neighborhood!

Best Tips and Tricks you should know while playing My Talking Tom Friends 2

1. Collect Hearts and Level Up

The moment you launch My Talking Tom Friends 2 for the very first time, you’ll straight away recognize an expansive area to discover and numerous activities to engage in. However, here’s a surprise – the real excitement is yet to come!

Notice the heart symbol with a ‘1’ in the upper-left corner of your screen? This indicates you are currently on level 1. As you fill up this heart, you progress to higher levels. Advancing a level may grant you access to various additions such as items, activities, or games, or even introduce a new character with their own residence.

As a fan, I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news! Leveling up in this game is as enjoyable as it is effortless. The secret? Simply lend a helping hand to your buddies by fulfilling their needs and wishes. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for those speech bubbles and thought bubbles hovering above their heads!

As a fan, I’d put it this way: “Looking at Angela’s bubble, you can tell she’s hungry since she has a knife and fork. Let’s help satisfy her hunger by taking her to the picnic table. On the other hand, if Tom’s bubble shows a guitar, he’s clearly eager to rock out, so let’s take him home to play some tunes!

As the day ends, each friend should retire for sleep at their respective abodes (or another one if they engage in occasional home swaps), thereby gaining affection points during the night. Typically, when the sun rises anew, you’ll find yourself having advanced to a higher level.

2. Explore Main Street for more activities

On the left part of the community, you’ll find a line of structures offering various products and services. Some cater to fulfilling friends’ desires and requirements, while others provide enjoyable leisure activities.

From left to right, they are:

  • Plant Nursery: The main activity here is planting seeds and growing them into plants. Drag a seed packet from a shelf to one of the planters. It’ll start growing, but it’ll need some help. If it needs water, then either drag the watering can over it, or drag the watering can to one of the friends. And if it needs fertiliser, do the same, but with the spray bottle. Once a plant is fully grown, drag it to one of the friends, and they will find somewhere to plant it.
  • Supermarket: This is where you go to buy food. Drag the items off the shelf and into the shopping cart, or simply tap them. Then, when you’ve got everything you want, tap the register to pay. Your food items will automatically be transferred to the picnic table outside.
  • Clothes Store: If one of the friends needs a new look, then this is the place to go. To try an outfit on, drag an outfit to a character, drag a character to an outfit, or tap a character then tap an outfit. If it suits them, tap the button to buy it. All of the outfits you’ve bought are stored in the closets in the friends’ houses.
  • Health Center: There are lots of fun interactive features here, ranging from a massage chair to an X-ray machine to doctor’s uniform for the friends to try on.

3. Hang Out in the Park

In the heart of our community lies a sprawling park, extending from the flower garden to the basketball court. There’s an array of outdoor activities that our friends can delight in within this space:

1. Strolling through the lush green gardens
2. Playing a friendly game of basketball
3. Relaxing on the park benches and enjoying the scenery
4. Engaging in lively discussions under the shade of trees
5. Participating in community events organized by the park management
6. Watching children play and laugh in the designated play areas
7. Exercising pets in the pet-friendly sections
8. Picnicking with family and friends on sunny days
9. Enjoying a leisurely jog or bike ride along the park’s scenic pathways
10. Attending concerts, festivals, or other special events organized by the community.

  • Have a Picnic: It’s always picnic weather in Tom’s new neighborhood, so whenever the friends are hungry (or whenever you feel like feeding them for fun), tap the picnic table or drag a friend to it. To feed the friends, drag the food items off the table and directly into their mouths, or simply tap on a food item.
  • Play in the Fountain: Drag one or more of the friends into the fountain, and they’ll wade in and start splashing around. Either that, or they’ll flip a coin into it and make a wish.
  • Balance on the Rail: Drag one or more of the friends onto the rail in the playground, and they’ll balance on it. If they’re feeling daring, they’ll try to walk along it. Otherwise, they’ll just sit on it and kick their feet.
  • Play With Toys and Mini-Games: You can also play with toys and mini-games in the park, but there are so many of them in My Talking Friends 2 that they get tips sections of their own…

4. Check out the Toys

Click the button located at the bottom-left part of your screen to display a menu showing the toys you’ve already uncovered. Select a toy from the menu by tapping on it, which will take you closer to it. Once there, simply tap on the chosen toy for your friend to start playing with it.

You can invite a buddy to join in the fun by dragging them onto a plaything. Sometimes, they might even start playing on their own! Once your friend is engaged with a toy, press the gamepad button that appears above their head to activate its mini-game.

The six toys available in launch version of the game are:

  • Ride-on Mower: In this game your goal is to cut all the grass or clear all the snow. Choose which version you want to play, then select a friend to drive your mower. Hold your finger on the screen and the mower will move towards it, clearing any grass/snow in its path. Make sure you collect any coins lying around, and break open any boxes for more coins. The only thing you should avoid are sprinklers, because they send water or snow spraying everywhere, undoing your hard work.
  • RC Car: In this racing mini-game, you steer and control your acceleration with the same thumb or finger. But your car also steers automatically even if you don’t. Hold your finger on the screen to increase the throttle. You can go full speed around most corners, but on the right-angle bends (the square corners) and the hairpins (the bends that double-back on themselves), you need to slow down just a bit. So, as you approach each of those tighter bends, take your finger off the screen for just a second, before going full throttle and speeding around the corner.
  • Marble Maze: This toy has two game modes and two control systems. In Hole mode, your goal is to get the ball to a hole, in Bug mode, your goal is also to get the ball to a hole, but there are bugs in the maze, and sometimes you have to squish one to get a key. The default control system is tilt controls, where you tilt your phone or tablet as if it were literally the marble maze. But if you prefer, you can enable touch controls, which means you move the ball by moving your finger around the screen instead of tilting your device.
  • Paper Planes: First, tap on the blueprint board to choose which plane design you want to use. Next, follow the guides to fold your piece of paper into a plane (or a ball of paper). When it’s finished, tap the Throw button. Finally, the really fun part. Use your finger to lift your plane up, then swipe to the right as fast as you can to throw it. The best angle to throw your plane at is 45°, which is halfway between straight up and straight across. Then, during its flight, you can tap the screen to lift the nose of your plane so that it keeps flying forwards and not down. Don’t tap too much, just enough to keep it flying forwards, as it’ll lose speed if you point up. If you run out of fuel (the bar on the left), then you won’t be able to keep the nose up any more, but you can collect more fuel by flying into the blue stars.
  • Kite Creator: Start by selecting the shape of the kite you want. Next, use your finger to guide the scissors along the dotted line, and cut out the kite. Now, use the paint brushes to color in your kite, and after that, add some stickers to the kite and some accessories to the kite string. When you’re finished, return to the park and watch one of your friends playing with the kite you created. They might even fly away!
  • Skateboard: Hold your finger on the screen and move it up and down to guide your skater. Skate as far as you can and collect as many coins as you can, all without bailing into any of the obstacles standing in your way.

5. Access and play a plethora of Mini-games

In My Talking Tom Friends 2, you can find mini-games in several ways. One simple method is by tapping the gamepad button located beneath the large heart icon situated at the top-left corner of your screen. This action will display a menu showcasing all the mini-games, including those connected to toys.

As a fan, I’d guide you: You’ll find the same screen on the gaming console situated to the right of the fountain. If no character is currently interacting with it, feel free to touch or move a character towards it. Once a gamepad icon appears above their head, simply tap that for interaction!

In the game, you can access each of the remaining mini-games directly from the game’s own setting. Here’s how to do it: [Detailed instructions]

  • Street Art: Over to the right of the neighborhood, at the basketball court, there’s a wall intended especially for street art. Tap the wall, or drag a character to it, and they’ll start painting. Tap the gamepad button above their head to start the street art mini-game. Start by choosing a stencil design, or instead opt for the “blank canvas”, which allows you to paint a design freehand. Each design is made up of several stencils, which you use to build up the design one layer at a time. When you start a new stencil, a suitable color will automatically be selected for you, but you can choose whichever color you want. Spray all over the stencil until the next stencil is highlighted, then tap that to start the next layer. Keep going until the design is finished. Return to the park to see your work on the street art wall.
  • Football Training: Tap the football goal, or drag a character to it, then tap the gamepad button above their head to go to the training ground. This mini-game is a series of challenges where you have to score a goal while also collecting coins and avoiding obstacles. Every time your character reaches the ball, the action will freeze, at which point you need to draw a line where you want the ball to go. Next, your character will do their best to kick it along your line. You can take as many kicks as you need, so it’s worth dribbling through as many coins as you can before you take a shot on goal.
  • Rock Stars: You can access this game via the guitar in Tom’s house. Tap the guitar, or drag a character onto it to start the game. A Jam Session involves just Tom, Angela, and Hank, and is a bit easier than a Big Show. Select a Big Show if you want a full-production rock extravaganza featuring all five friends. To put in a perfect performance, wait for the arrows to pop up above each band member, and swipe in the direction indicated. In Hank’s case, there’ll be two dots instead of an arrow, so tap the screen twice to make him perform a flawless drum fill. Finally, swipe to the right when the big arrow pops up, and the whole band will give the song a big, rock ‘n’ roll ending.
  • Basketball Court: To shoot some hoops, you can tap the basketball court or drag a character to it, then tap the gamepad button above their head. In a 3-shot contest, your goal is to score 3 out of 3 attempts, but if you even get 2 out of 3, you’re doing well. And if you select Free For All, you can shoot as many hoops as you want. To shoot, simply swipe up towards the hoop. Don’t swipe too hard or fast; accuracy is more important than power or speed.
  • Makeup Mirror: This game is accessible inside Angela’s house (the pink one next to Tom’s), and is all about giving your chosen character a fierce glow-up. Start by selecting which character you want to make up, then choose between blush, eyeliner, lipstick, or mascara (mascara is for the girls only), and select a color. Then use your finger to apply the makeup to the correct part of the character’s face: eyelashes for mascara, cheeks for blush, and lips for lipstick. If you want to remove any makeup, then tap the cotton pads and use your finger to wipe the makeup off. When you’re finished, tap the check mark, and your character will now have a new, more glamorous look.
  • Vivarium: This is a creative mini-game in which you can build spectacular structures in the sand. You can access it inside Hank’s house (the blue one in the middle). Tap the hammer icon on the left to choose from a wide selection of structures to form the foundation of your sandpit construction project. Drag them onto the sand to add them, and remember you can even stack items on top of each other. Tap the bucket to add toys to your structures, and tap the lizard button to add a variety of cute critters. If you want to remove an item, then drag the spade to it. And if you want to remove everything and start again, drag the bomb to the sandpit. Careful, though, as you can’t undo the bomb.

6. Take the Bus to the Water Park

Instead of just having plenty to keep busy in our local area, why not consider a day outing to the water park situated across town as well? The bus follows its usual timetable, though.

As a gamer, whenever that rare in-game item pops up, I’ve got to be quick on my toes! When it appears, I gotta pause the game, rally my crew, and convince them to jump in. We can gather at the virtual bus stop if you like, but remember, just like real life, huddling there doesn’t speed up the bus’s arrival.

Start by leading your friends to the changing rooms at the water park first, ensuring they have time to change into their swimsuits. Even though they might be eager to dive in without, it’s always best to wear appropriate attire for swimming. There’s certainly no shortage of enjoyable activities waiting for you at the water park!

Try dragging the friends to each of the following:

  • Water slide (drag them into the elevator at the bottom)
  • Pool
  • Floaties in the pool
  • Diving board at the pool
  • Lifeguard chair
  • Water blasters
  • Bubble wand
  • Beach ball
  • Ice cream factory
  • Smoothie stand
  • Beach towels
  • Sun loungers

Once it’s time to leave, simply touch the bus button. Keep an eye on our website for future announcements about extra day trip locations within the game; be sure to check back for further information.

Currently, this concludes our walkthrough for the My Talking Tom Friends 2 Tips and Tricks guide. You can download and start playing My Talking Tom Friends 2 by visiting your app stores: Google Play Store (for Android devices) or App Store (iOS devices).
