Social



The Menu is a part of DragonVale where players are able to look at the gifts they have received, view their Friends list, and look at news directly from Backflip Studios. It is also possible to log into Facebook, check Achievements, enter Redeem Codes, and view Game Center standings. In addition, players can also invite friends via  Facebook,  Email, and/or SMS, and use the menu to visit a random park.

Gifts
This section is used to view and collect gifts that have been received by friends or/and Backflip Studios.
 * Upon the introduction of this feature Backflip Studios gave players the Bed of Roses decoration.
 * Special promotions becomes available for collection in this section after entering the code correctly in the Redeem Codes option.

This section also notifies players how many gifts are available to still give for the day, and allows players to accept a gift and clear the notification after accepting it. It also allows players to give gifts back (if any available) to their friends who gifted them initially.

On October 9, 2013, players received a one-time gift for each Shrine they have leveled before the 2.0 update. Silver Shrines rewarded players with 15 gems and 250,000 treats whereas Gold Shrines rewarded players with 40 gems and 1,000,000 treats.

Friends
This section allows players to view a list of their DragonVale Friends and to give them gifts. It also notifies players how many gifts are available to still give for the day and allows players to visit their friends park.

News
This section is used to receive news directly from Backflip Studios about changes to the game content. For example, "Gemstone Island Upgrades!" was the first news given to players via this feature. This feature allows players to find more information about the news headline and clear the news after reading it.

Redeem Codes
This option is located at the bottom of the Menu. When selected it allows for a code to be entered to receive a special promotion.

After entering the correct code a "Claim" button appears at the bottom of a message to collect the special promotion. Following that, the special promotion becomes available for collection in the Gifts section of the Menu.

If a redeem code is entered incorrectly, a message stating the code is not found will appear on the device screen. If a redeem code is entered more than once, a message stating the code is expired will appear on the device screen.

Friend Codes
For each new player a person invites, rewards will be received when the new player gains five levels in their park. Friend Codes can be shared via Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, and text messaging.

When first generating your Friend Code by tapping the "Invite Friends" button in the Social Menu, you'll receive 5 gems from Backflip Studios via a "Goal Complete" screen.

When redeeming a Friend Code, you will receive a one-time reward of 25 gems.

When your Friend Code is redeemed by another player, you will receive gems based on that player's park level, rounded down to the nearest multiple of five.

For example:
 * When you redeem a friend code, you will receive 25 gems.


 * If a level 50 player redeems your Friend Code, you will receive 50 gems.


 * If a level 23 player redeems your Friend Code, you will receive 20 gems. Additionally, each time that player reaches another level divisible by five (25, 30, &hellip;), you will receive another 5 gems.

Every player can only redeem one Friend Code, but a player's Friend Code may be redeemed by multiple people.

''' Friend Codes should only be shared on the Friends page. '''
