Happy Hospital is a Facebook game developed by Wooga. Cure different types of animals and pets in your hospital by building rooms to help relieve them of their illness. Restore elders' youth, keep doctors awake to help patients and ensure medical equipment are charged to keep your hospital buzzing and patients happy. These are just a few of the things you can do to get started playing Happy Hospital by referring to this quick start guide.

Build Hospital Rooms

During the tutorial, you'll get to build your waiting room, diagnostics, and other basic rooms that need to cure a bear. As you progress through the game, you'll get a chance to build more to expand your hospital. These are needed to cater to more pet patients that require certain rooms to cure them.

Once you've chosen your room, move around your hospital space and you'll find available spaces to build it. As shown on the image above, just drag the room around and pick your preferred spot.

Take note that once you've built your room, you can't re-arrange them at a later time. Since the game is in beta, things can change, but as of this writing, your constructed rooms will stay as is.

Cure Pet Patients

Leveling up will unlock different pets for you to cure. The first step is to go to the reception and click on the hospital computer. This will show the pets you can cure.
It will indicate the rooms it needs to cure the patient, how long it will take and rewards you'll get. The rewards you see on the hospital computer shows what you'll get per room. So, for the giraffe, as an example, you'll get 12 coins and 5 experience points per room. That will be a total of 24 coins and 10 experience points per giraffe cured.

To level up faster, you can use the boost feature on every room. This will shorten your treatment time and get your patients cured in no time. Pick a patient and hover your mouse over it to see how long it will take to finish the treatment.
Remember that each time you use the boost feature, you'll use up 1 boost energy, as indicated on the booster bar. Each boost will decrease the time at an estimated time of one hour. As an example, a bumble bee will take 2 hours per room, so that will take 2 boosts to finish their treatment, but a total of 4 for it to be cured.

Don't waste your boosts on bears or any animal that takes less than hour to treat. Use it for those that take longer to cure.

Once done, you will see a star appear in the room which indicates that they can move to the next treatment room or leave the hospital. Collect your rewards and don't forget to prep the room for the next patient by cleaning it. You'll need to click on it twice. One to clean it and the next one will be to polish the machine.

Here's a tip: There is an indicator at the left side of the game interface (just below where missions appear) that shows how many patients you've cured. The image below shows 19 patients have been cured so far.

The Power Slot Machine

When you cure patients, you'll need to replace each equipment's battery every time a treatment has been done. To get a new battery, you'll need to use the Power Slot machine.
Click on it and it will start spinning until it randomly gives you a reward. Keep on clicking until you are successful in getting a jackpot of 3 batteries. This will give you one to use on any of your equipment. You can gather as much as you want and can prep an idle equipment with batteries so it is ready for the next patient.

Take note that each time you spin, it will cost you 10 coins.

This machine not only gives you batteries but randomly rewards you coins and experience points. It's nice to use this while you wait for patients to be treated.

Benefits of the Kitchen

As you level up, you'll be able to build a kitchen in your hospital. A yeti will prepare coffee which can be used to keep your doctors awake. Click on the yeti in the kitchen and it will start preparing.
Take note that each doctor can work 12 hours at a time. After that time, they will stop treating the patient. You can hover your mouse on each doctor to know how long they still have before they start snoozing on the job.

Fountain of Youth

When you reach level 5, a fountain of youth will be available for you to build. This is used to cure elders when they visit your hospital. To restore them to a young age, you'll need the required gems needed to operate the fountain.
The image above shows you need to get 1 heart, air, water and ice gem. You can collect them by visiting your friend's hospitals and check if their gem flowers are ready to be harvested. Once you've collected them, click the start button. You'll be rewarded coins and experience points.

Elders appear when you've cured the required number of patients. To know how many you need, click on the idle fountain. A window will appear to show you the number and rewards you'll get once you've successfully cured the elder.

Harvesting Gems

You'll have your own gem flower that you can harvest every 4 hours. The flower is randomly selected for you. This is the same for your neighbors. As these are needed to operate the fountain of youth, you can harvest them at your neighbor's hospitals.

Look at your neighbor's list and you'll notice some of them have images that show what gem they have. They appear when they are ready to be harvested. When you visit, click on the flower to store them.

We recommend you to collect as many gems as possible when they are ready. Also take note once you've cured 40 patients, you'll randomly receive gems as rewards when you treat a patient.

Look for Mr. Birdy

Another benefit to visiting your neighbor is receiving an extra 10 coins for locating Mr. Birdy. If you look at your list, you'll notice a blue bird appear. This means you can find him and receive your reward.
