It's A Free Superfood Weekend!!
Friday September 27th
It's been a while since we last had one, but it's finally here again...

It's a Free Superfood Weekend!



Update: The Free Superfood offer has now ended!


In case you haven't been around for a Free Superfood Weekend before, this simply means that Superfood is FREE for everyone from now until the end of this weekend :)

Have fun!
Maintenance Completed
Monday September 23rd
Our maintenance is now complete.

Note that there are likely to be one or two glitches remaining for us to fix following the maintenance, so if you discover any issues, please report them on our forums page or Contact Support and we'll get them fixed asap.

Thank you for your patience, and apologies for the disruption.
Fairyland Maintenance - Starting Shortly
Monday September 23rd
We will be beginning our maintenance (mentioned yesterday in the news) in a few minutes.

You don't need to take any action - we'll be back up and running in around 3-4 hours.

Thanks, and apologies for the disruption.
Fairyland Maintenance (Take 2)
Sunday September 22nd
Fairyland will be down for maintenance tomorrow (Monday 23rd), and this is likely to last for around 3-4 hours.

You don't need to take any action, no need to freeze your Garden unless you wish to.

The maintenance is to allow us to move the game to a new hosting company, as our current one is discontinuing their service. This is a re-run of the maintenance we attempted previously, but we found that the new servers were running too slowly (a problem which should now be fixed.)

It's definitely possible there may be one or two glitches for us to fix after the game is back up and running again, but please just report them to us in the usual way and we should have everything running smoothly again in no time :)

The maintenance will likely begin in the morning tomorrow (UK time), but we will post a note here in the news around 10 minutes before it begins so everyone who is online at that time is aware.

Then after the maintenance is complete, a new release will be arriving in Fairyland sometime in the following days... stay tuned for more news about that!

Thanks, and apologies once again for this disruption.
Libra Zodiac Flower Now Available!
Friday September 20th
It's Zodiac time of the month again, and Libra Zodiac Flowers are available again in the gift shoppe for sending to friends!

Fairyland Maintenance - Update
Thursday September 12th
Unfortunately our move to different servers was unsuccessful today (it caused the game to run too slowly!)

So we've reverted back to running on our original servers for now, and will re-schedule the maintenance for next week once the speed issue is resolved.

Thanks, and apologies for the disruption.
Fairyland Maintenance
Wednesday September 11th

Sunflowers and New Summer Pots!
Wednesday June 26th
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!
Our new 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 inchesCherry Pot
26-29 inchesOrange Pot
30-33 inchesLemon Pot
34-37 inchesPear Pot
38-43 inchesBlueberry Pot
44-49 inchesPlum Pot
50+ inchesDragonfruit Pot


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?!

Earth Hour - Saturday 8:30pm!
Friday March 29th
Earth Hour is this Saturday at 8:30pm (your local time, wherever you are in the world.)

If you would like to 'turn out the lights' for an hour in your Fairyland Garden, our Limited Edition Earth Flower gives you the power to do so, and it's available now for gifting to friends!



Share The Link


Send Gifts


As usual, the Earth Flower also attracts cute little Earthworms to your Garden (which are quite rare, so you may need to plant more than one.)



It's Egg-Hunting Season Again!
Monday March 25th
It's time to go egg-hunting again - get started now by sending beautiful Daffodil gifts to friends!


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.

Chocolate Eggs!


Just like previous years, 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!
Sunday March 10th
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!



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.

9th Annual Fairyland Players Convention (UK)
Thursday March 7th
Every year, a group of Fairyland players organize a players' meetup/convention. Dozens of players attend, with some flying around the world to be there! The day is always a lot of fun and everyone's very friendly.

This year, it's back in the UK, in Weymouth, Dorset, and is being held on Saturday June 29th

Tickets are £15 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 First Flower Of Spring!
Thursday January 31st
It may still be Winter in Fairyland, but the First Flower of Spring has just started to appear!



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!)
