Holiday Calendar - Update!
Monday December 1st
 Just a quick update to the new "Holiday Calendar" - many people have requested that the challenges be made a little easier, so you will now get a pot for EVERY wildlife you spot of the correct type, instead of every 5th.

Happy pot collecting!
Fairyland's Holiday Calendar!
Sunday November 30th
 The Winter Holiday Season is upon us, and you can now count down the days to the new year with Fairyland's Holiday Calendar!

How it works


Each day throughout December, open the calendar door and behind it will be hiding one of the Fairyland Winter Wildlife.

You then have 12 hours before the door closes again, and during this time your quest is to spot this wildlife in other gardens - every one you spot will drop a lovely new pot for you as a gift!

There are 31 different pots to be collected in all - a different one each time you open the door. A few pots are seasonally themed, but most of them you can use throughout the year.

Important: Before you go hunting, make sure you have some space available in your storage area, or you won't get the pot. The great news here is that we have increased the maximum number of shelves you can have in your storage area to 75 (previously 50), so you should have plenty of space for your nice new pot collection :)

Finally, you don't necessarily need to open a door every day, and you don't need to complete the quest every day if you don't want to (maybe you don't like that day's pot, for instance.) However it is of course nice if you try to open each door on the correct day of the month if possible.

Have Fun!

If it's your first time decorating the tree, then you can find details about how to do it after you have planted one in your Garden.

You can build as many trees as you wish, and towards the end of December you'll be able to open the "Large Gift" under each of your trees and discover what's inside (important note: you need to plant and decorate a brand new tree to get this year's gift - if you continue a partially completed tree from last year, then you will just get last year's gift again, which was just an Underwater Toadstool Seed.)

Happy tree decorating!

While flowering, the Ice Flower will bring a beautiful flurry of snow to your Garden, attracting cold-weather wildlife such as the Arctic Fox and the Arctic Hare.

And as usual, whenever the snow is falling in your Garden, any Mice & Mallards visiting will be dressed in their best festive outfits, and will give double diamonds when spotted!

And finally, you can now build Snowmen again!

But before that, we're releasing all the usual Fairyland winter seasonal items over the next couple of days, so you have time to get your Garden set up nice and wintery (and maybe build a snowman or decorate a tree or two!)

New Level 42 Bonus Seeds!
Thursday November 13th
 One of the more frequent requests we receive is for something extra for Gardens which have reached Level 42 (which is the last of the original Garden Levels.) So today, a new "Bonus Seeds" section has appeared in the Seed Shoppe!

This section will feature occasional new seeds to grow, for any Garden which has reached Level 42.

The first exciting new bonus seed is some Bamboo, which will attract the Giant Panda to your Garden!


To grow the Bamboo, you'll first need a Bamboo Pot from the Misc section of the Pot Shoppe.

Then to attract the Giant Panda, you'll also need to get some Bamboo for your feeding table (instructions for how to do this can be found after your Bamboo is fully grown.)

Finally, the Giant Panda is of course Endangered, which means it will only visit Gardens extremely rarely and unpredictably, even with the best setup (but they are worth a lot of Diamonds when they do visit, and multiple Fully Grown Bamboo plants will help attract them more frequently of course.)

Good Luck!

But that's not all - just in time for Halloween (and so that you can make the most of the Free Superfood), some new improved Pumpkin Seeds have just arrived! Any Pumpkin planted from now onwards, and grown to 30lbs or more, will reveal a new (and very spooky) Halloween surprise!

Your challenge is to grow the heaviest Pumpkin you can. Its weight is measured in pounds (lbs) and you can find instructions on how to grow your Pumpkin by planting one and then clicking its "Help" button.

As a bit of extra fun, if you can grow a Pumpkin weighing 30 lbs (or more), you'll get a special scary Halloween background in your Garden, which will stay as long as you keep the Pumpkin in your Garden (or alternatively, you can 'freeze' the background in place with Star Dust if you want to harvest the Pumpkin.)

And in addition, if you manage to grow one of the All-Time Top Ten largest Pumpkins (by midnight GMT on November 2nd), you'll win an extra special prize!

Happy Pumpkin Growing!

The Final Pond Challenge!
Thursday July 31st
 The final Pond Challenge has arrived in Fairyland today... your task is to attract the wildlife which lives at the bottom of the Garden Pond - the so-called "Bottom Dwellers"!

As you would expect with this being the final challenge in the series, it is a pretty challenging one, so you should ensure that you have successfully completed the previous Pond Challenges before attempting it. (If you prefer easy/quick challenges, then we recommend that you don't attempt this particular one as it's more for the folks who enjoy a more difficult longer-term challenge - it's certainly not a "finish in 5 minutes" challenge!)

As you'll discover, part of the fun of this challenge is that you'll need to enlist the help of many of the previous Pond Wildlife to help you complete it, which means that your planning/organization skills will be very important!

What's more, to help you get started (or to help you catch up with the earlier Pond Wildlife), Underwater Toadstool seeds are completely FREE FOR EVERYONE for the next 7 days, woohoo!!


Free period has now ended.


All the information you need about the new 'Bottom Dwellers' can be found in the Wildlife Guide now. One final thing - you'll also notice that Frogs (including Tadpoles & Froglets) now have a deterrent, which you may find useful!

Good luck, and most importantly, have fun!

Fairyland Frog-Breeding!
Thursday July 17th
 No summertime Garden Pond would be complete without frogs, frogspawn and tadpoles, and you can now breed frogs in your Fairyland Pond!

Here's a reminder of the lifecycle of the frog - your aim is to get this happening in your Pond!



To start with, frogspawn will mysteriously appear in a very small number of Ponds today. If you'd like your Pond to have a chance of being one of these starter Ponds, make sure your Garden is underwater, that you have an empty feeding table out (any type will do) and also that your Garden is not set to "private".

Then from these few initial Ponds (there will only be 3 or 4 of them), frogs will gradually breed and spread to other Garden Ponds. All the information you need to successfully start breeding frogs in your own Pond is in the Wildlife Guide, however please take care to read it very carefully to understand the process before you begin (it's not too difficult once you get the general idea!)

However if you're finding it difficult to start getting frogs in your Pond, don't worry - it will become much easier in time, when more Gardens are attracting them!

Then towards the end of this month, the last of the 'Pond-themed' wildlife will be arriving in Fairyland... and you'll need to use your newly acquired frog-breeding skills to help attract them!

Happy frog breeding!

           

Tallest Sunflower Of The Day!
Tuesday July 1st
 Many Fairylanders have already successfully completed the Sunflower Challenge, and some of the Sunflowers grown have been spectacularly tall, although unfortunately it's hard to appreciate just how tall they actually are as they disappear off the top of the Garden!

While fully grown, the Sunflower will bring the Sun out in your Garden, and the Mice and Mallards will be taking shade under their Mushrooom Parasols!

Sunflower Growing Challenge!


This Summer's challenge is to grow the tallest Sunflower you can!

All Sunflowers are 20 inches in height when the flower first blooms. Then for the first hour after the flower appears, you have the opportunity to make it grow taller by spotting and/or attracting Summer Mice & Mallards. Each one you either spot in another Garden, or is spotted in your Garden, will cause your Sunflower to grow by 2 inches (or by 4 inches if it's a Summer Pygmy Mouse!)

There are 2 levels of challenge to suit different players (one pretty easy, one very challenging!)
  • Regular Challenge: Grow a Sunflower at least 30 inches tall to earn 2 Underwater Toadstool Seeds!
  • Super Challenge: Grow a Sunflower at least 50 inches tall to earn 2 additional Underwater Toadstool Seeds!

You have exactly 1 hour to grow the tallest Sunflower you can (you can't freeze your garden during this time) and when you have finished growing it, return to this page and click the Sunflower icon below to claim your reward.




Sunflower Challenge
Has Now Ended!



Finally, this challenge runs ALL SUMMER (until mid-September) so there's no rush - you have plenty of time to find a spare hour to attempt it... Good Luck!

Nessie And Friends!
Tuesday May 20th
 The last pond challenge ("Fishy Namesakes") was a nice easy one, but it's now time for a bit more of a challenge!

A brand new set of pond wildlife are in the Wildlife Guide right now. They are attracted by a combination of different Pondweeds. You therefore need to have completed the "Rainbow Of Fish" challenge before attempting this (as otherwise you can only grow one Pondweed at a time!)

There are 7 new wildlife to attract & spot in this category, including the notoriously difficult to spot Loch Ness Monster!

Underwater Backgrounds
Wednesday May 14th
 Do you like to freeze your favourite background effects in your Garden, but also like to take your Garden underwater to attract the Pond wildlife?

Great news - we've now improved this so that you no longer lose any time on your saved background effects while underwater :)

So whenever you harvest the Underwater Toadstool after being underwater, you'll now see that it will extend the time remaining on your background effects to make up for the time spent underwater.

           

Fishy Namesakes!
Tuesday May 6th
 A brand new category of fish has appeared in Fairyland today - "Fishy Namesakes"!

As the name suggests, these fish are namesakes of some of the existing Fairyland wildlife, which will give you a big clue as to how to attract them (there is no information in the Wildlife Guide about attractants - you will need to figure this out yourself.)

For example, the Squirrelfish's namesake is the Red Squirrel:


Red Squirrel

Squirrelfish


There are 7 new fish to attract & spot in this category (all of them real-life species!)

Good luck!

It's Egg-Hunting Time Again!
Thursday March 27th
 It's time to go egg-hunting again... and there are some brand new babies hatching from those eggs this year!

Get started now by sending beautiful Daffodil gifts to friends:



Share The Link


Send Gifts


All Daffodils give a small gift of Gold when harvested, so if you have space available in your Garden, it's always worth growing a couple!

Daffodils of course attract the Easter Bunny. Remember to keep an empty "nest" in your own Garden while hunting for him as he will drop a decorated egg for you whenever you spot him in another garden, which will then incubate in your nest.



This year, you can hatch your eggs either in your Garden as usual (for Baby Chicks), or you can choose to hatch them underwater, where you'll get cute Baby Seahorses! (See the Seasonal section of the Wildlife Guide for full details.)

Not finished building a nest yet? Don't worry - so that everyone can join the fun right away, you can get a ready-completed nest simply by clicking here!

There's only one freebie "completed" nest per garden however, so if you want to host multiple eggs at once, you will need to build additional nests yourself (empty nesting trees are available in the gift shoppe)


Finally, the Easter Bunny's mini-challenge is back again this year, to help you earn a few extra Underwater Toadstool seeds so you can attract those cute new Baby Seahorses!

The Easter Bunny's Mini-Challenge


 Hello, I'm the Fairyland Easter Bunny!

I heard that some Fairylanders would like to earn some "eggs"tra Underwater Toadstool seeds while enjoying an "egg"citing egg-hunting challenge, so I have one right here for you!

I have both a r"egg"ular challenge and an "eggs"pert challenge, so you can choose whichever you prefer!

The challenge is to get either two (for the r"egg"ular challenge) or seven (for the "eggs"pert challenge) different colours of hatched eggs in nests in your Garden at the same time.

So for "eggs"ample, to complete the r"egg"ular challenge, your Garden will need to have something like this:



When you have them in your Garden, return here and click my little egg icon below. I'll then check your Garden and award your Underwater Toadstool Seeds if you've completed the challenge successfully.

You will get 1 Seed for completing the r"egg"ular (2 eggshell) challenge, and a further 2 seeds (so 3 in total) if you complete the "eggs"pert challenge by getting seven different egg colours in your Garden at once.

This challenge will run until the end of April, so there's time for everyone to have a "crack" at it... good luck!"




"Eggs"spert Challenge

Happy Egg Hunting!

Leprechauns and Shamrocks!
Friday March 7th
 It's the time of year again when the Leprechauns pay a visit to Fairyland, and they can be spotted around the Gardens mischeivously stealing the veggies which have been left out for Wildlife!

Leprechauns are attracted to Gardens with fully grown Shamrocks, and these are available now for gifting to friends!

Remember, every Shamrock harvested releases a Pot O' Gold. There's a 1 in 10 chance that a Shamrock will be of the lucky 4-leaf variety (these release more Gold than the 3-leaf ones when harvested!)

The Leprechaun's Mini-Challenge


 Well hello there, I'm the friendly Fairyland Leprechaun, back with another of my little seasonal challenges!

This year's challenge has 2 parts to complete, and when you've completed both of them, I'll reward you with 2 Underwater Toadstool Seeds!

The first part of the challenge is to grow a 4-leaf Shamrock in your Garden. Careful not to let it go Ready For Harvest - it needs to be "fully grown" in your garden to count.

Then for the second part, you need to spot me in another Garden in my Scuba gear! (See the Wildlife Guide to find out how to do this!)

When you have completed both parts of the challenge, return here and click my little shamrock icon below. I'll then check your Garden and award your seeds if you've successfully completed both parts.

My challenge will only run until March 17th, so don't delay... have fun and good luck to you!"

A Rainbow Of Tropical Fish!
Thursday February 20th
 Fairyland has a brand new wildlife challenge beginnning today - A Rainbow Of Fish!



Get started by purchasing the new "Red Rocks" pot (available now in the Pot Shoppe.)



Attracting/spotting all the fish is for those Fairylanders who enjoy a good longer-term challenge to complete (it's certainly not a quick "finish in 5 minutes" one!) All the information you'll need can be found in the Wildlife Guide.

Good luck and have fun!

Cupid Mouse's Valentines Challenge Is Back!
Saturday February 8th

 Hi there, my name's Cupid Mouse!

You may already have seen me around in a few Gardens, but I'm especially busy this time of year as I'm sure you can imagine, spreading the love all around Fairyland with my bow and heart-tipped arrows!

Listen - I have a little challenge for you, and if you can complete it successfully, I'll reward you with 2 Underwater Toadstool seeds!
The challenge is to get 5 of my Valentines Roses flowering in your Garden at the same time. It's important they they are all flowering at the same time - don't let any of them go Ready For Harvest or they won't count!



As soon as you have 5, return to this page and click my little heart icon below and I'll check your Garden and give you your prize!

If you're not sure how to get the Valentines Roses, check my page in the Wildlife Guide, or ask around and someone is sure to help you :)

My challenge will run until the end of February, so there's plenty of time to choose a day where you have time to attempt it.... Good luck!"







           


Love Is In The Air!
Friday February 7th
 Love is in the air in Fairyland - the Loveflower is now available again for sharing with friends!

When flowering, the Loveflower attracts beautiful Lovebirds to your Garden (remember to leave out some Bird Mix for them!)

And as usual, you can give a secret Valentines Star-Dusting to any "Ready For Harvest" Loveflower in any Garden in Fairyland... and the Garden Owner will be left guessing who did it! Whose Loveflower(s) will you Star-Dust this year, and will you receive a secret Valentines Star-Dusting yourself?!


Finally, remember that you can also use the Glass Vase from the Loveflower to attract Cupid Mouse to your Garden (if you're not sure how to do this, details are in the Wildlife Guide)



Cupid Mouse's Valentines Challenge Returns Tomorrow!

Tomorrow sees the return of Cupid Mouse's Valentines Challenge, in which you can earn 2 Underwater Toadstool Seeds for successfully completing it... look out for more details shortly!

The First Flower Of Spring!
Monday January 27th
 As the winter season draws to a close in Fairyland (with the Ice Flower only available for a short time longer) it's time for the First Flowers of Spring to begin appearing!



Share The Link


Send Gifts


When flowering, the First Flower of Spring will attract the Groundhog to your Garden. (According to Fairyland Folklore, when the Groundhogs leave hibernation and begin visiting the Gardens again, it's a sure sign that winter will soon be over and spring is just around the corner!)

Then when Ready For Harvest, the First Flower of Spring will bring springtime showers in your Garden (but remember that you need to have a cloud in your sky first, produced by the "White Marshmallow" Magical Pot - after all, there can't be any rain without a cloud!)

           


Pond Mythological Wildlife!
Wednesday January 22nd
 Some unusual and very beautiful creatures have arrived in the Fairyland Pond today... the Pond Mythological Wildlife!


Rainbow Seadragon

Sea-Unicorn


Just like their land-dwelling cousins, the Pond Mythological Wildlife are attracted by the different "Ready For Harvest" mushrooms (and of course your Garden must also be underwater!) Full details are in the Wildlife Guide now...

Also like the original Mythological wildlife, the Pond Mythologicals become progressively rarer, so while the Seadragons are common like the Mermaids, the latter ones such as the Sea-Pegasus / Sea-Unicorn are very rare (which means that they don't visit very often and you can only expect to get occasional visits.)

Have fun attracting and spotting these new arrivals!

Underwater Toadstools Now Last A Little Longer!
Friday January 17th
 A popular suggestion on our forums recently has been to extend the "fully grown" life of the Underwater Toadstool to match that of the Supershroom, since they will often be used together.



This makes good sense, so Underwater Toadstools planted from now onwards will remain fully grown for 1.5 days (increased from 1 day) which is the same as the Supershroom.

We hope you're enjoying the new Pond theme so far! It's all very simple just now so everyone can get the hang of how it works... but plenty more fun stuff is coming soon with the next watery wildlife arriving later this month!


Downtime Notice
Just an advance warning that Fairyland will be unavailable for about 20 minutes on Tuesday January 21st, sometime between 0600-0730 GMT to allow us to perform an important server upgrade. This is a pretty quiet time of day in Fairyland, so the downtime will hopefully affect as few people as possible. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

           


What's In The Garden Pond?!
Tuesday January 7th
 If you managed to collect some of the new Mystery Seeds, you're probably itching to know what they're for!

Well the wait is over and they can now be planted in any 'toadstool' pot (the same ones used for the Fairytales - any one will do!)
When planted, the new mystery seed will grow into an Underwater Toadstool, which will attract the beautiful Fairyland Mermaid to your Garden!

When she is spotted in your Garden, the Mermaid will sit upon your Toadstool, magically transporting your Garden to her underwater world at the bottom the Garden Pond!


Whenever your Garden is submerged in the Garden Pond (don't worry - all your plants can grow as normal while underwater!) you will be able to attract the new Garden Pond Wildlife which are listed in a new section in the Wildlife Guide.

The first 7 Garden Pond wildlife are nice & easy to attract - in fact you may recognize them as they're 7 of the regular Fairyland wildlife (ones which can swim underwater!)

And of course, there will be lots more Garden Pond wildlife and challenges arriving over the coming months!


Questions & Answers


How do I get more Underwater Toadstool seeds?

What happens to my background effects?

Does it matter which Toadstool pot I use?



Have fun!

           


Changing Flower Colours With Sparkle Dust!
Monday January 6th
 We hope everyone enjoyed the festive season and that you're having a great 2014 so far! It's almost time for our new year surprise in Fairyland (which arrives tomorrow!) But today, there's just one small improvement to the game to let you know about:

As you know, some Fairyland flowers come in different colours/varieties (for example the Piscis Aquabullae, which comes in 7 different colours.) Until now, you needed to use Gold Dust if you wanted to change the colour/variety to a different one, which could get a little expensive if you wanted to make a few changes.

Great news - you now use Sparkle Dust instead of Gold Dust for this purpose!


Many of you will have quite a store of unused Sparkle Dust already (earned from the Magical Mushrooms game), effectively making it free for you to change flower colours! Or if you happen to have none left, then more can always be purchased in the Shoppe much more cheaply than Gold Dust :)
