There’s a very good reason why Supercell’s delightful farming sim has been a number one hit in more than 100 countries. Hay Day delivers all the fun of the farm, with none of the mess.

Starting out with a barren plot of land and building your ranch into a thriving business and an idyllic place to live is incredibly rewarding. And the innovative tap-and-drag controls make chores a breeze. Scything through fields of wheat to harvest it in seconds always feels good.

Build, tend, and trade—the gameplay loop is enormously satisfying. Your farm keeps running while you’re away, letting you set tasks in motion and return to them when you’ve got time.

Its routines fit neatly around your own daily rituals—feed your chickens and milk your cows before breakfast, fulfill orders on your lunch break, and maybe settle down in the evening for a bit of fishing.

It’s a world that just keeps on evolving, too, with new features regularly being added to freshen the place up. Plant peanut bushes and you’ll not only attract adorable squirrels that live in their own treehouse, but you’ll be able to make new recipes, too—including delicious PB+J sandwiches. And while the basics will always be well received, you can now try your hand at culinary delights such as bacon fries and handmade pies. Or, if you’ve got a sweet tooth, why not bake a fancy cake?

The weekly horse derbies also have new varieties: If you’re short on time, you can take part in the more relaxed Chill Derby, or complete tasks so your horse can catch rabbits in the Bunny Derby. You’ll find new animals at the Sanctuary, including cute baby zebras. And Supercell has made some intelligent tweaks elsewhere, too. You’ll find visitors to your town won’t be quite so demanding in their requests.

While you’ll no doubt have tinkered with the layout of your farm to suit the way you play, you can now add an extra personal touch thanks to the new custom decorations feature. You can even upgrade these if you want to refresh their look, and obtain more by completing Valley and Derby goals.

The arrival of timed seasons yields further new rewards, with perks for hitting your targets—such as a fetching hat for each of your farmyard animals to make them look even cuter. And with new recipes, animals, and events cropping up all the time, it’s clear that Hay Day’s heyday is, well, right now.
