What Makes Hay Day Stand Out
Welcome to Hay Day. Build a farm, fish, raise animals, and explore the Valley. Farm, decorate, and customize your own slice of country paradise.
Farming has never been easier or more fun! Crops like wheat and corn are ready to be grown and even though it never rains, they will never die. Harvest and replant seeds to multiply your crops, then make goods to sell. Welcome animals like chickens, pigs, and cows to your farm as you expand and grow! Feed your animals to produce eggs, bacon, dairy, and more to trade with neighbors or fill delivery truck orders for coins.
Build a farm and expand it to its fullest potential, from a small-town farm to a full-blown business. Farm production buildings like Bakery, BBQ Grill or Sugar Mill will expand your business to sell more goods. Build a Sewing Machine and Loom to create cute outfits or a Cake Oven to bake delicious cakes. The opportunities are endless on your dream farm!
Customize your farm and decorate it with a wide variety of items. Enhance your Farmhouse, Barn, Truck, and Roadside Shop with customizations. Decorate your farm with items like a panda statue, a birthday cake, and instruments like harps, tubas, cellos, and more! Decorate with special items – like flowers to attract butterflies – to make your farm more beautiful. Build a farm that shows off your style and inspires your friends!
Trade and sell items in this farming simulator by truck or steamboat. Trade crops, fresh goods, and resources to in-game characters. Swap goods to gain experience and coins. Level up to unlock your own Roadside Shop, where you can sell more goods and crops.
Expand your farming experience and play with friends in the Valley. Join a neighborhood or create your own and play with a group of up to 30 players. Exchange tips and help each other create amazing farms!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
It is a little boring when you first start off but as you get further in the game it becomes better. We recommend.
Its so relaxing and peaceful and inspiring.
It is a great game to play especially for hours.
Best game ever! Its so much fun! Its perfect for everyone who is over 4! We got it yesterday and Im already level 10.
People complain about it asking for money, but if you have the money and want to spend it, it is your choice but we've been playing this game since like 2015 and we've only ever spent less than $10 on it the whole time we've been playing it, and that was in the beginning to get some diamonds we enjoy the game. We get more diamonds on this game than any other game that has that kind of a system especially playing the valley. We love this game. All the new things are a lot, but we'll deal with them for the most part some things we just ignore.
This is such a good game we feel like it is very realistic. We literally can not stop playing hay day we are so obsessed it is the best game ever. We cant think of anything bad about the game so its for sure a five star game. They should definitely advertise hay day. You should play hay day! Its the best add free game ever.
Love this game played it for years.
Hay Day is really cool and fun and we totally recommend this. We love how you can do everything you can on a real farm, from farming crops and feeding animals to visiting the town and selling crops and things to visitors.
Every time you guys update this game we lose interest. We like the way it is dont make any new updates please. You guys are trying to make this game look better but is not. Please stop changing it. Thanks.
First things first this game has no ads at all and its so fun because like its basically your own form and the tutorial gets you to at least the fourth level and thats the reason we like it because and it barely takes up any battery of your phone or iPad hope you enjoy hay day you have to try it now.
There arent many games out there that we give five stars but this is one of them. We LOVE this game. Its time consuming,fun and never letting you run out of things to do. We do have a few questions for the creators. 1 can you PLEASE make a poodle dog to buy with tickets? Id love it so much and other poodle fans would too Im sure! 2 can you please make sure you change up the options for buying stuff in the newspaper? We see pages of the same thing sometimes so please just try to switch it up more often. Thank you for making this game because its so fun! And thank you for making/changing any thing we requested.
At this point we dont know what to say. We love the is game. It helps you learn what you need o farm and helps you know what you need to farm. Also very addictive! There is also different updates and unlimited levels.
This game is so relaxing and fun play NOW.
This is one of the best games ever. It is from our childhood and its easy and appealing. Love it.
Hay Day is a great game to play when we want to relax or kill time. We really like that things actually take time to produce and build, so progress feels earned rather than rushed. Leveling up feels rewarding, not handed to you. The community aspect is one of our favorite parts. Participating in the derby, donating items, and requesting help from neighbors makes the game feel social and fun. Theres always something to do without it feeling stressful. If we could make a few suggestions: 1. Please keep the huskies! We think they would be a great addition as a permanent pet option on the farm. We have one in real life, and it would be awesome to have one on our farm too. 2. It would be really cool to be able to sell or trade decorations with other farmers. We have quite a few duplicates that Id love to trade or offer to someone who wants them. Overall, this is a great app that we keep coming back to. Highly recommend it.
We love this game so much and so does the whole family.
Increble juego, aunque alguna vez lo dej de jugar, siempre fue uno de mis favoritos, teniendo esa chispa desde sus principios, nunca us olvidar de este juego tan bello.
Hi please bring back the old truck orders board design. The new one makes it so hard to see for mobile users. Thank you hay day team.
Ive never wrote a review on an app before but we love this app so much that we just needed to share. It is only gotten better in the last year. Decorations are more fun and attainable and all of the events make it a constantly evolving game. Its always something new to look forward to when you open the app. Love love love it.
We LOVE HAYDAY but we H8 the new truck task screen update. Its so chewgy.
We love the game and play a lot. But the only flaw we think is the roadside shop, nothing you need is ever there and if it says it is you have to buy it within a half second in order to maybe get it. We think the game would be much better if it had a market where you can search any product and go and buy the product that the other players put up in the market. So you can have a chance to buy products when you need them.
We have been playing Hay Day since we were 7 and we are now 20! We really enjoy this game being able to create your own little farm with animals to take of and being able to decorate, the skies the limit.
Very calming and fun great soundtrack aswell.
So addicting, easy to pick up and learn, hard to put down.
Can you ad new dogs like rotrwilers and baby vergens please and red beans and ducks for a pet and baby ducks please hay day.
Nothing expires or dies. Love it.
We wish there two of the same building its not like a lot of people going to collect shiny diamond, as a farmer in this game we see it as a struggle to collect them. The only easy thing to collect is coins and thats good but also sad to starters, why do we have to wait that long for the cave to open to collect stuff like that?. We know there events out there but are they going to last longer?. We love the game but the struggle to collect stuff sucks :/.
We have been playing Hay Day for 13 years. We still love it! We have grown to Level 178 and have spent less than $25.00 over the time. Love the animals (except foxes, heard the dogs will keep them away sometimes seems to work) and all animals and people have personality unlike some other farming games. You cant top Hay Day designs and craft mans ship. They have the best design team ever. Its better than 5 stars to us! Thank you Hay Day.
We think its annoying and they give you both orders that you dont even have the machine for.
Tried support section first but no option to explain what is really going on. Instead you get a useless multiple choice option that is NOT gonna help much for your devs to fix issue.
It needs an update. Our game keeps freezing since last update. We enjoy this game very much.
Pls just as controller support for somthing.
A past update rebalanced times on products and crops and we thought this made the game much better. That update seems to have been reversed back to original production times and we wish the game producers would address this (many of us have commented our thoughts on social media on the Hay Day page but have gone unanswered). Im guessing giving us more fair production times resulted in less money being spent.
Purchase limit on town expansion materiel and land expansion material needs to go away. Players feel we should be able to buy as much as we want. Also a night mode version of the game would be cool.
Can we make a skip option please. We want to play on mu IPad but it takes forever to get through the tutorial and its really annoying.
Ill start by saying, we really enjoy this game – BUT since Im forced to watch Ads, its more than annoying that it freezes up way too often when clicking to watch an Ad. You then need to shut the game down to restart. Also when trying to watch an Ad to speed up the food item, half the time its not available. The fishing game is not enjoyable at all. You have to work too hard to get fish to create meals. Please fix so the game can actually be fun to play.
Our accounts production time has been increased. None of the items can be produced in 810 minutes anymore. They have all been extended to 1.5 hours or even 2 hours. This makes the game very time-consuming and frustrating to play. For example, producing 4 carrot cakes now takes 8 hours instead of 2 hours like before. Please restore the previous version.
We think supercell got ahead of themselves with this update, first off we enjoy the new features they have added but they should not have changed the cartoon style of the truck order board, also we have not been able to watch videos for any rewards, everyday we make a habit to go to the in game store and claim our free gift along with the gift you get for watching an ad. We haven't been able to do that for a week now. Very Frustrating that we're losing out on real rewards we normally can claim in game… Please fix this, So we can fix our rating.
Game is currently lagging and glitching.
Sometimes when you dont have enough coins you can use a diamond to buy something from the shop but it will use that diamond still when someone else buys the item so youre down diamonds. This needs fixed.
Is it just us or why do we never actually receive any of the gifts we receive on the lucky bonus games.
We've loved this game since we were a kid. Grew up playing it with our family, especially our mom who was up to level 151. The reason we stopped playing this game was because they changed the way everything looked so much in one update all the sudden. Years later, us and our sister get back into the game and a few months in, they change the app design and everything inside to be something looking like its built for toddlers. Supercell ruins games by not knowing when to stop updating. Its what crashes its games like brawlstars and now deleting hay day too. Great game though if you dont care. Takes a minute to know what events are valuable to participate in and how long they last but we're too old to care now.
was playing hayday then we spent 20 diamonds for wood sheet,after that the game said someone else bought this item before youSo am askingWHERE S MY DAMONDS.
Love Hay Day! It has always been our favorite pastime game because its relaxing, colorful, and fun to play at your own pace. We really enjoy building our farm, helping neighbors, and taking part in events. However, some parts of the game have started to feel a bit overwhelming. The holiday gift stations that appear during special events can be quite a hassle. They take a lot of time to complete, which makes the game feel less simple and relaxing than it used to be. Building materialsespecially duct tapeare also extremely hard to find, yet the barn requires many of them to upgrade storage, which can slow down progress and become frustrating. In addition, production machines become very expensive once you reach the 40+ levels, making it harder to keep up without a lot of grinding. On the positive side, Hay Day still has many great features. The graphics are beautiful, the community is friendly and helpful, and trading with neighbors can be very rewarding. Events keep the game fresh, and its always satisfying to see your farm grow and become more organized over time. With a few balance adjustments, Hay Day can continue to be both a relaxing and enjoyable game for players at every level.
Has glitches since latest update. When we click to watch an ad for something the game freezes up and we have to close it and restart it. We also dont like the gifts given for the gift card. Change the random gifts so we can get better stuff. Please also give us an option to find a decoration in our storage. Its hard to find certain ones.
App keeps freezing every time we try to watch an ad to get time off our productivity.
The game is ok we have been playing for 4 years but have 2 major complaint. Firstly, The trees and bushes are impossible to cut down. If you want to make some profit from buying a lot of trees it will take at least a month to cut down say 50 trees or bushes. Hay day should add a 10 minute 5 star booster that you can cut down trees for free in that time period. This would make the game funnier and make us happier because right now we have 2000 dead trees on our farm and we will never be able to cut them all down unless we go on vacation mode. Please take into consideration this booster. Secondly, how the actual heck do you expect us to get the bird vouchers. It is only possible to get 1 or 2 a month and you need 9 to get a bird. Make it 1 chick voucher per bird. There are like 20 different birds, YOU expect us to get 180 chick vouchers! That would take 50 years. Change the chick vouchers because they are impossable to get. Even if you have farm pass you are sill only getting 3 vouchers a month, that means that it would take 5 years of non stop playing. Like are you serious, this is one of the dumbest things in this game. FIX IT NOW OR ELSE.
Poor customer service. They just caused us to lose both of our farms and then asked us to make a 3rd email to recover the two farms we already have two emails for. They keep telling us they need an adult to send an email for them to recover. We AM THE ADULT..Im done with this game. Been a player for several years.
As stated. Its getting to be too much. Most of the new decorations dont make any sense. Nothing does. Ive been playing this game since like 2011 and we might finally be done.
