Sunflowers and New Summer Pots!
Friday June 29th
Sunflower gifts are now available again for sending to friends!



Send Gifts


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!
Seasonal Quest Alert!
The seasonal quest "Fun In The Sun" is also open again.

Different variations on this quest are available at a few different levels, but only until the end of September, while the Sunflowers are still available in the Gift Shoppe.


Sunflower Growing Challenge


Our seasonal Sunflower-Growing Challenge is also back once again - challenge yourself to grow the tallest Sunflower you can, and earn a fabulous new "Summer Pot" for different heights grown.

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 leftmost Sunflower to grow by 2 inches (or by 4 inches if it's a Summer Pygmy Mouse.)

You have exactly 1 hour to grow your Sunflower taller by spotting/attracting the Summer Mice & Mallards (note: you can't freeze your garden during this time.) You then need to wait for the Sunflower to become "Ready For Harvest" and when you harvest it, you get a "Summer Pot" corresponding to the height of Sunflower you grew.

Here are Sunflower heights you need to grow to earn each of the pots:
Sunflower HeightPot
22-25 inchesSummer Hat
26-29 inchesSunscreen Bottle
30-33 inchesPineapple Cocktail
34-37 inchesGlass Of Lemonade
38-43 inchesIce Pop
44-49 inchesCoconut
50+ inchesSand Castle


Sunflowers are available ALL SUMMER (until the end of September) so there's plenty of time... Happy Sunflower Growing!


For a little extra fun and friendly competition, here are the tallest Sunflowers grown in the whole of Fairyland this season! There are no prizes for the tallest - this is just for fun. Can you get your name up there?

New Big Surprise Coming Soon!
As you may have read previously, we have a big surprise arriving soon, which we've been working on for some time now.

As so often happens with these things, we have experienced a few delays getting it ready, but we're about to enter our testing phase now so all being well, it should be arriving in a few weeks time.

Look out for updates soon!
It's Summertime In Fairyland!
Thursday June 21st
The Summer Solstice is upon us (in the northern hemisphere) which means it's officially the first day of Summer in Fairyland!

This means our Summer seasonal wildlife are beginning to arrive again, starting today with the Beehives, which will not only bring Bees but also a few other honey-loving wildlife to your Garden!

Beehive gifts can be sent to friends using the links below:

It's Egg-Hunting Season Again!
Friday March 9th
It's time to go egg-hunting again - get started now by sending beautiful Daffodil gifts to friends!


Share The Link


Send Gifts


Daffodils 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.

New: Birthday Eggs!


As it's Fairyland's 10th Birthday year, the Easter Bunny is dropping a special 10th Birthday Egg this year! (there's about a 1 in 10 chance that the egg dropped will be a Birthday Egg)



Birthday Eggs hatch into Birthday Chicks (which of course only feed on Birthday Cake) and just like all the Birthday Wildlife, spotting your first one will earn you 50 Gold!

Chocolate Eggs!


Just like last year, the Easter Bunny will very occasionally drop a Chocolate Egg instead of the usual decorated ones! However this only happens extremely rarely (there's only about a 1 in 100 chance that the egg will be Chocolate.)



If you do manage to get a Chocolate Egg in your nest, it will attract the Chocolate Bunny to your Garden, and will continue to attract it even after it has "hatched"! Chocolate Bunnies also drop Chocolate Eggs (for every 10th one you spot in other gardens), which means that this will become the best way to find Chocolate Eggs, once there are enough Gardens attracting the Chocolate Bunnies.





Other (decorated) eggs will still hatch into Baby Chicks as before, or you can choose to hatch them underwater (where they will hatch into 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! (Note: The free nest will not be available if you have already collected it in a previous year.)

To host multiple eggs at once in your Garden, you will of course need to build additional nests yourself (empty nesting trees are available in the gift shoppe)

Seasonal Quest Alert!
Finally, the seasonal quest, "Do you have the Eggs Factor?", is back again of course!

A different variation on this quest is available at every level, while the Daffodil is available in the Gift Shoppe!


Happy Egg Hunting!
Leprechauns and Shamrocks!
Thursday March 8th
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!



Share The Link


Send Gifts


As usual, every Shamrock harvested releases a Pot O' Gold. There's a 1 in 10 chance that a Shamrock will be a lucky "4-Leaf Clover" (these release more Gold than the regular Shamrocks ones when harvested!)


Seasonal Quest Alert!
The Leprechaun's seasonal quest, "Luck Of The Irish", is also available again - but only until March 17th!


Shamrock Pots!


In case you missed them in previous years, Shamrock Pots are also available again...

The "Inflating" Shamrock Pot is earned for every 10th Leprechaun you spot (either regular or Scuba-Leprechaun) in other Gardens. He will then drop one of these for you, sending it to your Storage Area.



The Shamrock "Hand-Painted Pot" design is also available again in the Pot Shoppe.
8th Annual Fairyland Players Convention (France)
Thursday March 1st
Every year, a group of Fairyland players organize a players' meetup/convention. Anything up to 100 players have attended past events, with some flying around the world to attend! The day is always a lot of fun and everyone's very friendly.

This year, it's moving to France (in Latilly, which is east of Paris) and is being held on Saturday July 14th

Tickets are 25 Euro (including a wonderful French meal) and everyone's invited, so if you're interested in coming along and meeting other friendly Fairylanders (including Fairyland's creator, Mike) then you can purchase your ticket via PayPal by clicking here and also join the event's Facebook Group to meet other attendees before you go and ask any questions you may have about about getting there/accommodation etc.

Please note that this event is organized by players, not by Fairyland, so all questions etc should be directed to the organizers via their Facebook Group.

The seasonal quest, "Be My Valentine", is also available again (at Quest Levels I and II.) It's available while the Loveflower is in the Gift Shoppe.

The First Flower Of Spring!
Wednesday January 31st
It's time to start chasing those winter blues away - the First Flower of Spring has arrived in Fairyland again!



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 a RFH "Cumulus Albiflorus" planted in a "White Marshmallow" Magical Pot - after all, there can't be any rain without a cloud in the sky!)
New Birthday Wildlife Alert!
Tuesday January 30th
Another new type of Birthday Wildlife just arrived in Fairyland and is looking for cake!

Sadly this is the last of this year's special 10th Birthday Wildlife, but don't worry if you haven't spotted or attracted them all yet. Quite a few Gardens are likely to keep the Birthday Cake going year-round, so there will be plenty of opportunity :)

Happy hunting!
New Birthday Wildlife Alert!
Sunday January 28th
The penultimate Birthday Wildlife has just arrived and is hungry for some cake!

Good luck!
The Final 3 Birthday Wildlife!
Thursday January 25th
There are so far 7 Birthday Wildlife partying around the Gardens... hopefully you've found most of these already!

Which means there are 3 more to go. These will be arriving over the next few days, and the first of them has just arrived! (We will post here again when the other 2 arrive :)

We're not going to tell you which wildlife the final 3 are of course (that would be much less fun!) However a small clue is that the Birthday wildlife are all from different sections of the Wildlife Guide - no two are from the same section (and there are no Birthday wildlife from the Topiary, Chicks, Babies or Seasonal sections.)

Good luck!

More Free Birthday Cake!
Tuesday January 2nd
We fixed couple of glitches with the new Birthday Cake today, so we've made the free Superfood Birthday Cake available in the Shoppe for a further 24 hours, woohoo!

You'll find it under the "Superfood" tab in the Food Shoppe.


Remember that wildlife which are listed in the Wildlife Guide as eating "anything" will also feed on the Birthday Cake, alongside the new Birthday wildlife.

Free Birthday Cake no longer available in the Shoppe... you can now earn it by spotting Birthday Wildlife!
Happy New Year!
(And Happy 10th Birthday Fairyland!)
Monday January 1st
Exactly 10 years ago today, an obscure little app called "My Fairy" appeared on Facebook.

Back then it didn't do much - there were no Gardens, and certainly no Wildlife. It pretty much just allowed you to send a picture of a Fairy to friends to display on their profile!

Fairyland has certainly come a long way since our humble beginnings, to become the thriving community it is today, as we celebrate Fairyland's 10th Birthday!

To mark the occasion, you can hold a little Birthday Party in your Garden and invite the Fairyland wildlife to attend! But how do you get wildlife to attend a Birthday Party, you may well ask?

By leaving some Birthday cake out for them to eat of course!


Make room on a feeding table and get yours free from the Superfood section of the Food Shoppe today! (It's available in the Shoppe for 24 hours only, so be quick!)

Your Birthday Cake will attract some of the Fairyland wildlife to your Garden party - they will be in their little party hats and eating your delicious cake. There are 10 special "Birthday" wildlife to attract in total - the first 5 are listed in the Misc section of the Wildlife Guide right now, and 5 more "fashionably late" arrivals will start appearing in your Garden later this month.

After 24 hours has elapsed and the Birthday Cake is no longer available in the Shoppe, you get more Birthday Cake by spotting Birthday wildlife, which will drop it if you have an empty feeding table (details of how frequently each wildlife drops Birthday Cake are in the Wildlife Guide.) Who knows - some Gardens may decide to keep the party going all year!!

Finally, we can also reveal today that we have a very big surprise arriving this year - something we've quietly been working on behind the scenes for some time now. We don't have an exact arrival date just yet, but we're aiming for Q2 (so sometime between April and June)... we think it will be worth the wait :) We'll keep you updated and post more news nearer the time.

Wishing everyone a very happy 2018, and enjoy the cake :)
