How Do I Get More Cash, Diamonds and Keys?
Every 24 hours you can earn a Daily Reward of 500 Diamonds and 20 Keys. Please be sure to claim your Daily Reward before it expires at the end of each day.
You can exchange Diamonds for in-game Cash or Keys in the Premium Store. You can also earn Cash by entering Design Challenges, and scoring 5.0 on a Design earns you extra Diamonds.
Additionally, you can earn Diamonds in the Premium Store! Go ahead, tap on your Currency Balance at the top of your screen and then tap “Offers” to find out how to earn Diamonds.
What are Keys and how are they used?
Keys are used to enter Design Challenges.
Design Challenges require 15 to 25 Keys to enter.
The amount of Keys needed to enter is listed on the Challenge Page, under each Challenge Room Type and Location.
Design Challenges that require 25 Keys are more advanced and you can also earn better awards!
What's the difference between Diamonds and Cash?
The items you purchase in Design Home cost Diamonds or Cash. You can use your Cash to buy Inventory Items with the $ (Dollar Sign) underneath that Item, and alternatively, you can use your Diamonds to buy Inventory Items with the Diamond Symbol underneath.
If you run low on Diamonds, unfortunately, you will not be able to use your Cash to make up for the cost of an Item that costs Diamonds.
However, if you are running low on Cash, you can use your Diamonds to purchase more Cash.
