* What is Moonlight Mania

This is a special event that was first introduced around Halloween 2010.
The event will reappear about once a month, usually around the time of the Full Moon, and will be announced in the Official Announcements.

It gives the possibility to grow some unique spooky crops, and exchange them in Jack's Shop for some unique spooky items!

*How can I activate Moonlight Mania whilst the Event is "on"?

Once the event is active you will have the the ability to change your Main Farm into night mode by clicking on the Event Timer on the left, with a pumpkin icon.

If you do not see the Event Timer pumpkin at the beginning of the Event, you may need to refresh your screen (F5-key) or log out, clear your browser cache, and log back in.

As soon as the Moonlight Mania icon is clicked, your farm will go into Night Mode, and will look like this:

The same icon will allow you to toggle back to Day Mode, to harvest your other non-spooky items on the Main Farm, and the other lands.

NOTE: Only the "empty" acres that you have on your Main Farm will be available for planting Spooky Crops when you switch to night mode.

On these acres in Night Mode, you'll be able to plant some special "Spooky Crops"
You can not purchase these crops as they are given automatically.

Plots available to seed in Day Mode (snowy screenshot from december 2012):


the same plots available in Night Mode:

* How will I get the Spooky seeds to plant?

Every new player will receive several units of each special crop (again, if you don't see these, please log out, clear your browser cache and log back in).

If you were playing during the previous Moonlight Mania Event, your crops will have returned to inventory, where you'll find them for the next event.

* What are the different types of Spooky Crops??

Killer Tomatoes


Monster Pumpkins


Bonetrees


Venus flytraps


Tombstone


Googly eye bush


Ghosts


Abominable Plants


Toe jam


Braincoli

* Does Super Grow work on the special Crops?

Yes you will see the normal time reduction if you use Super Grow, reducing the remaining harvest time by 50%.
Water will reduce the remaining time by 20% as normal.

* Can I hire Suzy to spray my Moonlight Mania Spooky Crops?

Yes. Suzy's spraying will also work on Spooky Crops. How does Suzy spraying your fields work? Once you hire Suzy to spray a field (this will cost you 1 Suzy Super-Grow per field/tree), which is done by selecting the plot and clicking on the propeller symbol, you will receive additional crop yields (+2 crops per acre) as well as extra 50% EP.

* Can you buy or sell the special crops on the market?

No, these items are restricted as they are specialty crops and only available during this event.

* How can I harvest my last crops after the end of Moonlight Mania?

Just refresh your page (F5-key) to bring your crops into Daytime Mode. Then you can harvest them when they're ready.

* What happens if I hand in ALL my spooky crops to the Count Bracula Quest or to Jack's shop?

Spooky Crops are NOT for sale
If you drop down to zero spooky crops, you'll have to wait until the next Moonlight Mania event to get a few new plants.

Jack's Shop

* What is Jack's Shop?

Jack's Shop is a special place only accessible during Moonlight Mania and when you are in Night Mode.
This is where you can trade in Spooky Crops for special prizes only available there.
If you hover your mouse over each prize it will give you a description of what does and clicking on the item will show you the requirements for each prize (see below too).

You will also see a countdown clock which shows the time until the end of Moonlight Mania (this may require regular refreshing F5 to see the correct time)

you can use the green arrows to see more items

* What happens once I have all the required Spooky Crops, and I have 'bought' an item ?

Once each required item has a small green checkmark, and you have clicked on the large green checkmark to 'buy' that item, your prizes will show up in your inventory.
IF they are decorations, they will appear under the decoration tab.
You may have to browse through the pages to find the decoration that you are looking for.
Spooky animal pens will appear under the animal button of your menu.

* Can I use my 'prizes' during non Moonlight Mania times?

Yes all the prizes that you win can be used during normal game play.
They are not restricted to certain times or Night mode use only.
