JujuBees traded or spent within the game also contribute to "The Great Swarm"; the exciting new onlineSocial Meta Game that connects players worldwide, working together to unlock 10 free additional bonus levels. JujuBees can also be spent in The Mooniacs’ level hint system, which provides for three different levels of "help" – essential for those confounded by some of The Mooniacs’ trickier levels.
