A Neighborhood is a group of Funky Bay players who team up to chat, take part in various competitions together and help each other out. One Neighborhood can include up to 30 players.

You must be at least level 15 to create a Neighborhood or join an existing one. Once you reach level 15, you can restore the Neighborhood House. Then you can create your own Neighborhood or join an existing one.

You can add friends in two different ways:

1) You can add people already playing Funky Bay to your Facebook friends list. You need to link your Facebook account to the game in order to see them.

2) You can add friends using the dedicated button in the lower right corner. Tap on the button with two figures and select the Friends tab. Tap Invite and select the friends you want to send an invitation to from the list that opens.

Any member of a Neighborhood can leave it by tapping Quit in the Neighborhood information window.

If you are the only player in the Neighborhood, it will be deleted.

If you are the leader of the Neighborhood and there are other members, you first have to promote another player to leader. Otherwise, you cannot quit the Neighborhood.

If you change several Neighborhoods in one day, you will have to wait a certain period of time before joining another Neighborhood.

Once every 3 hours you can request a product type you want to from your neighbors. You can only request products that are available at your level. Exceptions are construction materials, keys and seashells. You have to get these yourself and cannot request them in the Neighborhood chat. Requests are made through the chat window. The amount requested is set automatically. Once the request is completed, you can collect the requested items from the chat window. If you don’t take the items from the completed request, you cannot make a new request.

There are three types of Neighborhood members: The Neighborhood leader, elders, and common members.

1) Neighborhood Leader

Only one player can be the Neighborhood leader. By default, it is the player who created the Neighborhood.

If the leader wants to quit the Neighborhood, they must first transfer the leadership to one of the elders. If the leader wants to appoint a common member as the new leader, this member must be promoted to an elder. Then the leader role will become available for this member.

The leader can change any of the Neighborhood's settings. The leader can change the roles of all members, change the Neighborhood logo and description, change the rules of admission, and accept and exclude members from the Neighborhood.

2) Elders

This is the second highest role after the leader. They can change the Neighborhood logo and description, change the rules of admission, and exclude ordinary members from the Neighborhood. They cannot change the status of the leader or other elders or exclude them.

3) Common members

This is the default role for all newcomers. They only have access to basic options (chat, trade, regatta, help). Ordinary members cannot change Neighborhood settings or the roles of other members.

Each Neighborhood has its own logo. The Neighborhood logo is displayed in the Neighborhood building, on some leaderboards and in the regatta window. You can add a logo when creating a Neighborhood. It is set to the standard Neighborhood logo by default. You can earn extra sets of images, backgrounds and frames for customizing the logo for achievements in the regatta.

Only the leader and elders can change the Neighborhood logo.

You can edit this by opening the Neighborhood information window and tapping the pencil button in the upper left corner. When the Neighborhood editing window opens, tap Change Logo under the logo. Choose the shape, symbol, pattern and color of the Neighborhood logo in the window that appears. You can also view the new logo in this window. If you don't like the changes, you can exit the editing window without saving. If you're happy with the result, tap Finish. The changes will be applied and displayed for all players.

You need to be the leader of the Neighborhood or an elder to do this. You can edit this by opening the Neighborhood information window and tapping the pencil button in the upper left corner. When the Neighborhood editing window opens, you can set the joining type, minimum player level and preferred language.

By default, each Neighborhood is open and requires a minimum player level of 15.

Only the leader and elders can change the roles of the Neighborhood members.

To change a role, find the player’s name in the members list and tap on it. Tap Change and set the player's role in the window that opens.

You can only delete a Neighborhood if you are the only member and want to leave it.

If you joined the Neighborhood while the current regatta was already underway, you will have to wait to participate in the following week's regatta.
