Sand Castle Guide

Summer is here, and the Sand Castle arrives to FarmVille just in time to spruce up your seasonally themed farm!

Placing Your Castle

The Sand Castle works just like previous holiday and seasonal gift containers. First, you will be asked to place the Sand Castle when entering FarmVille.  After clicking the place button, the Sand Castle will be on your mouse pointer and you can place it on your farm by clicking in an open space.

If you don’t see this, don’t quite have enough room on your farm, or just want to wait until later, don’t worry! You can return to your normal cursor and find the Sand Castle in your Gift box or the Market for placement later.

Please keep in mind that each farmer can only have one Sand Castle. Be sure you are placing it on the farm you want to keep it at! It can be placed either on your Home Farm or your English Countryside.

Inside the Sand Castle and Redeeming Prizes

Clicking on the Sand Castle gives you options to:

  • Ask for beach toys
  • Send beach toys
  • Buy beach toys
  • Look inside
  • Move
Sell
Clicking look inside will bring you to the Sand Castle Menu.

The Sand Castle menu displays your progress. Gain progress by adding Beach Toys obtained as gifts from your neighbors and through the Marketplace. The appearance of your Sand Castle will change up to 5 times depending on the number of Beach Toys added. You can also redeem 6 different prizes depending on how many Beach Toys have been added to your Sand Castle. These items can be redeemed multiple times if desired.

Redeemable items include:

  • Beach Umbrella
  • Beach Chair
  • Beach Hut
  • Poolside Pig
  • Scuba Sheep
  • Lifeguard Tower

When an item is redeemed, you will also be given the option to share the item with your friends!

Obtaining & Using Beach Toys

Beach toy

There are 5 different types of Beach Toys that can be gifted or purchased through the Marketplace, but all of these gifts work the same in the Sand Castle. Each gift counts towards one redemption point.

You can also send, ask, or purchase Beach Toys by clicking on one of the three buttons below the progress meter when looking inside the Sand Castle.

Beach Toys can continue to be added and used for redeeming prizes even after you have filled your Sand Castle up to the 150 Toy limit. Clicking the use all button in your Gift Box will place all of the Beach Toys currently in your Gift Box directly into the Sand Castle.


We hope you enjoy building your Sand Castles! Happy Summer Farming!
