INTRO

EDIT: It seems that there has been a slight change in gifts, since I did this, so you may have to purchase and additional pack at $9.99. This would bring your total spent to $50, thus your net reward would be only $70, which I think is still well worth your time.

I wanted to write this guide in hopes that it would help a few of you, like so many guides on the site have helped me!

I want to start by saying that this offer can be done f2p, or for much cheaper, but some of us do not have the time or desire to grind away for days or weeks. If you would prefer to grind or pay less, u/nono1243 has written a great guide that you may find helpful. Do a quick search and you should find it!

Mafia city is currently being offered (USA) for $120 to reach mansion level 25. Like many offers on this site it credits early, at mansion level 20. By spending $40, it can be completed in under an hour, netting you $80 (pretty great hourly rate!). I discovered this on my own when I got irritated from grinding and have since guided several of my friends/referrals to complete it on their own. We have all used an iOS device and were prompted to allow tracking. Android usually credits well, but I can’t say for certain that it works on this app since I have not tried it.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that this guide is for MAFIA CITY. There is another similar game called grand mafia which is a separate game and reward. It is easier to complete. TO SUM IT UP, MAKE SURE YOU ARE PLAYING MAFIA CITY.

GUIDE:

1. Download from the link on Swagbucks (or one of the sister sites. I believe it is actually $125 on MyPoints)
2. If on iOS: when opening the app and waiting for it to load the first time, you will be prompted to allow tracking. You must click allow. If you are on a much older iOS version, this was not a feature, it should work without it. If you are on a recent iOS release and are not asked to allow tracking, I would be hesitant to proceed. Maybe trying playing a little without buying anything to see if it pops up later. If on android, ignore this step.
3. Click through the annoying conversations. You do not have to read anything they are saying. Several times throughout the process you will be forced to click through things as you learn to play the game. Most of these can just be clicked without reading anything, since you won’t be engaging with most of the game features.
4. Once you aren’t forced to click, it’s time to make the purchases. The packs to purchase can be found on the right side of the screen. There are several icons underneath the gold. The uprising packs should be on top, make sure you swipe to see all of the packs until you find the correct one. Each time you buy an uprising pack, the next one unlocks. The growth fund is found in the reward center (right side of screen, second from top). Make these 4 purchases (slightly under $40 after tax):

​

• Family uprising rookie pack ($0.99)
• Family uprising rookie pack II ($4.99)
• Family uprising rookie pack III ($19.99)
• Growth Fund ($9.99)
• You may have to purchase an additional pack near the end in order to complete the final mansion level or two. If you run out of metal and are running out of gold/speedups around mansion level 18 or 19, purchase the pack called Legendary Mansion Pack V ($9.99). Please note that this pack does not unlock until after you complete mansion 14 or 15 or so.

​

1. Collect purchase rewards. In the reward center, there should be several rewards to collect from the cumulative purchase event (may be a timed thing, so makes the purchases right at the start). There are also several to collect from the newbie purchase event.
2. Go into items and open any boxes you have collected. There should be several gold reward boxes. Use all of the leader XP and the VIP points. Use activate VIP 7 day. Add all gold to inventory. Add all cash and cargo to inventory. There should be some speed up coupons. Exchange all of them for construction speed ups. You get the idea. Open all gold and items you can. (Ammo and metal cannot be opened until higher mansion levels.
3. Use your vigilante fragments to synthesize the corresponding vigilantes. The most important one is “Suri” as she gives an instant build boost. Make sure you synthesize her before you start building past the first few mansion levels.
4. Click the leader icon in top left. Click skills at bottom, then growth at top. Invest your points into the first skill, “illegal workers 1”. Continue down the tree using up all the points you have acquired. Your goal is to reach illegal workers 2. You should be able to get close. If you do not have enough skill points, make sure you have used your leader XP tokens in your items. You may have to upgrade mansion to get more leader XP to acquire more skill points in order to reach illegal workers 2. You most likely do not need to reach illegal workers 2, but if you can why not go for it.
5. Start upgrading the mansion. Use speed ups to instant build whatever is needed. DO NOT USE GOLD YET. The game does a good job suggesting which speeds to use for the most part, but sometimes it does not suggest the most efficient way. For example, do not use 1.5 hours of 5 minute speed ups. Use a one hour speed up, then six 5 minute speed ups instead. The auto suggest will not use the one hour speed ups since they are general speed ups and not construction specific.
6. Keep upgrading the mansion and any other required buildings for it with speed ups. If you need more supplies, you should have more than enough in your items.
7. At mansion 5, 10, 15, go back into the reward center and claim the growth pack rewards. At these levels I also suggest to collect the quest rewards (glowing orange color near bottom), and any item rewards in the mail center. You also have a reward box in your inventory every 5 levels with various items. At level 15 be sure to top up your gold too from items.
8. Metal is the lowest quantity once you reach level 15. You should have received several “Lv. 4 Optional Resource Chests” which you can exchange for 6.2k metal each. Use all them for metal.
   1. It seems from various comments that the resource chests are not being provided anymore, thus you may run out of metal and gold before finishing mansion 20. If this happens then this is when you want to purchase "Legendary Mansion Pack V ($9.99)." Thank you u/mr_bojangles_jjw for finding this and suggesting it to various commenters! You may have saved many people some headaches!
9. Continue upgrading. I ran out of speed ups while my mansion was level 18. At this point you can start using your gold to instant build. I had about 43000 gold when I started to use it. If you are not close to that much, be sure to look for any claimed items scattered around the many in game menus. Before you instant build with gold, be sure that you have enough of the items, as these cost a lot of gold. You should have plenty in your inventory. If you do not, look for any inventory coupons you can exchange, quest rewards that need to be claimed, mail, etc. There is a chance you will need to buy some metal at the very end with gold, but probably not needed.
10. Boom! Your mansion should be level 20. I actually ended with about 9000 extra gold! At this point in games I like to restart the app, maybe start building a new building just to help it trigger. Probably not necessary, but has become habit when completing any of these type of games. It went pending within a couple minutes.

Sorry for writing so much. I tried my best to include enough details since this can be confusing. I hope this guide makes sense and someone has found it helpful! Please, if you follow it, let me know your experience! If you have questions, leave a comment. I’ll be sure to monitor this thread and answer anything I can. Good luck!
