Q: What is Family Progression?
A: Family Progression is a feature that allows families to earn levels in a way similar to individuals. For each level, the family is awarded special perks that benefit all of the family’s members. Experience towards family level progression is gained by family members performing actions in the game. Many of the same core actions that help you level as an individual will also help your family progress!

Q: How do the timers work?
