Tap Simulator: Reborn Island List: Every Verified Area and What's in It
A verified index of Tap Simulator: Reborn's islands — spawn, Sky, Autumn, Mushroom, Desert, Crystal Cave/Cove and Shadow Realm — with the landmarks, eggs, NPCs and mini-games that identify each area, plus where the 15 shiny stars sit.
Tap Simulator: Reborn's map is one connected climb: a spawn lobby plus six islands, in the order Sky Island, Autumn Island, Mushroom Island, Desert Island, Crystal Cave (also heard as Crystal Cove) and the Shadow Realm at the top. Every name below is a real, visitable area in the current version of the game, and each entry lists the landmarks that tell you where you have landed. This is a lookup, not a walkthrough — unlock prices and gateway steps live in the how to unlock islands guide.

Most islands carry their own egg or two — the egg list gathers them in one place.
Starting area: the spawn lobby
The lobby is the hub of everything. A long bridge ends in a row of portals — one per island, with Sky Island first in line — and a small button above the store opens the height menu, a panel that lists every area and the jump height it takes to reach it. The same panel doubles as fast travel between zones you have already opened. Three landmarks define the spawn: the rocket ship at the very top of the lobby, a callback to the original Tap Simulator; the spiky egg near spawn; and the secrets-hatched leaderboard.
Sky Island
Sky Island is the first island past the spawn and easy to recognize: everything is clouds. Its roaming critter is a fluffy cloud — every zone has one of these small hoppers, and tapping it pays a coin bonus plus a crafting drop. Here that drop is the cloud puff, an ingredient for the honey pot machine, which sits just below the autumn area. The island stacks two eggs — the Nimbus egg, home to piggies and birds, and the pricier Sky egg that produces tigers and penguins — plus a gem-upgrades station for click power, egg luck and auto-clicker speed. Shiny stars: one right at the portal entrance on the island's edge, one next to the two eggs.
Autumn Island
Autumn Island is the fall-themed zone, decked out for Halloween. Its signature landmark is a giant pumpkin; smash it for pumpkin seeds, another item the honey pot accepts. The gem-upgrades corner is the busiest spot in the game here: the blessings shrine lets you pick a blessing — luck, auto-clicker speed or golden chance — that climbs to tier two after 10 minutes and tier three after 25; an NPC beside the upgrades offers the bouncy-license course; and the invisible toilet trades 20 slime for the bouncy key. Elsewhere you will find a dig site mini-game that pays treat bags worth 750 pet XP, the Halloween-timed pumpkin egg (pumpkin doggies, pumpkin kitty), and a star store and statue. Shiny stars: by the star store, next to the statue, and behind the tree with the pumpkin and the mushroom.
Mushroom Island
Mushroom Island is a field of oversized fungi. The glow mushroom — this zone's hopping critter — drops slime when you break it, about four per kill, and 20 slime is exactly what the invisible toilet on Autumn Island wants. Ordinary mushrooms act as launch pads that bounce you skyward, and tapping at least one pays a coin bonus. The pet-defense (tap defense) mini-game is here too: tap the marching pets before they reach the bone pit and clear waves to win a relic. Two eggs round it out — a cheaper mushroom egg (mushroom dog) and an expensive fungi egg (fungi dragon). Shiny star: next to the jump location.
Desert Island
Desert Island is cacti and sand with a pyramid at its center. Its runner is the prickly cactus, and it lives up to the desert theme by fleeing when you approach — chase it down and tap it for crafting ingredients. The cactus egg is the island's only egg, hatching scorpions, and a tap chest sits nearby for a bonus claim. The pyramid hides a large claimable chest that pays a huge haul of coins — trillions by the time you are far enough into the game to be out here — and a gem shop covers the usual upgrades. Shiny star: along the side of the pyramid.
Crystal Cave or Crystal Cove?
The sixth island is the crystal-themed zone, and its name is the one loose end on this list: players call it both Crystal Cave and Crystal Cove, and one run slides between "crystal cave", "crystal cove" and just "the cave". Neither spelling is confirmed as the official in-game label, so go by the portal or menu text in your game — it is the same place either way. The content is unambiguous: this is where the diamond pet machine appears, the machine that converts pets into diamond versions and anchors late-game team building. The crystal mines are here as well — a Minecraft-style mining mini-game with pickaxe upgrades, ore selling, a daily shop and a mining title to earn — alongside two eggs, hopping crystal critters and diamond-themed jumping events. Shiny star: behind the diamond machine.
Shadow Realm
The Shadow Realm — the "shadow world" — is the last island on the current map: a spooky, void-themed zone where endgame players gather and where the top-end pets come from. Its void egg is described as the best egg in the game, and its secret pool holds the Forsaken Knight, the rarest secret of the final area. The zone introduces two new systems: the enchanting station, where you roll enchants onto pets, and the rainbow machine, which turns pets rainbow. A gold machine and a rocket that looks bound for space round out the machines, and void-themed critters flit around the area, dropping crafting items such as void essence when defeated.
Map order and getting around
The height menu lists the areas in this order:
- Starting area (spawn/lobby)
- Sky Island
- Autumn Island
- Mushroom Island
- Desert Island
- Crystal Cave / Crystal Cove
- Shadow Realm
If you hear the game described as having "six areas", that count starts after the spawn — add the lobby back in and you get the seven zones above. The portal bridge in the lobby is the physical counterpart to the menu: one portal per island, lined up in the same order. Keep the map below open as you move between zones.

Shiny stars across the map
Fifteen collectible shiny stars double as recognition points on every island — the reported split is three in the lobby and two per zone. Confirmed spots: the back of the lobby, next to the spiky egg, and up on the rocket ship behind the secrets-hatched leaderboard; beside Sky Island's two eggs and at its portal entrance; by Autumn Island's star store and statue and behind the tree with the pumpkin and the mushroom; next to Mushroom Island's jump location; along the side of the desert pyramid; behind the diamond machine and beside the tree by the eggs in the crystal area; plus stops next to the gold crafting machine, next to the rainbow machine and the shard, behind a tree by the enchanting station, and next to the collection. If a zone looks short, check its edges.
Completing the set is reported two ways — one tour ends with "Shiny mutation chance increased to 4%", while another player says the set unlocks rainbow pet hatching — so check the reward on your own collection counter. The full shiny star locations guide walks every stop in order.
How complete is the island list?
Treat this as the roster of the current version: the height menu lists exactly these seven destinations, and players who finished everything on the Shadow Realm found no area beyond it. But Tap Simulator: Reborn is a young simulator and updates are expected, so the six islands are the current count rather than a permanent one. The fastest check for new land is the height menu above the lobby store — any added area appears there first. The same goes for names: the crystal area's spelling already varies between players, so when a label is in doubt, trust the text on the portal in front of you.
