It’s time for the Valentines Countdown! For the next twelve days in a row play FarmVille and ask your neighbors for a special gift. Once you get all twelve you unlock a super-secret bonus prize! (For those of you who have seen the Winter Countdown, this works pretty much the same way.)

You can access the Valentines Countdown via a special icon on the right-hand side of the FarmVille display.

Just click on it and the Valentines Countdown window will open:









Here’s how it works: every day for twelve days in a row, starting February 10, you will have the ability to get a new item in the Countdown. As you can see in the image above, the first item available is the I Love You Stand. You acquire these items by clicking on the “Ask/Share” button.




From there you’ll be asked to make a post to your own wall asking for this item. If a neighbor or friend gives you this item, they’ll get one in return.



The criteria for acquiring that item of the day is met when you get the item from a neighbor or you get one by answering one of these feed posts. Each new day a new item will appear, and the process will start all over again.

What happens if I miss a day? you may inquire. That’s okay, you can catch up. For example, if I miss getting the first item on the first day, I see that I can still ask one of a number of particular friends for that item (click “Ask”), or I can just buy it outright for Farm Cash (the “Buy” button).



On the twelfth day all of the items will be visible. If you have received (by asking for or gifting to someone else, thereby getting one in return) all twelve items, the special bonus prize will unlock. The ability to acquire these items, as well as the special bonus prize, will remain for a few days after February 21 (the twelfth day), so even if you miss most of the days you still have a chance to catch up and unlock the special bonus prize.









You also have the option of buying the complete set ahead of time using Farm Cash. Just click on the “Complete Now” button at the bottom of the Valentines Countdown window and you’ll be asked to make the purchase for the appropriate amount of Farm Cash (which is the total accumulated Farm Cash cost of all of the items minus what you’ve already acquired).

You can now send Valentine's to your friends and trade them in for special items!

Please find more information about the Valentine's Gift Box below:



Valentine's Gift Box:

With the Valentines Box you can collect Valentine’s Day gifts from your friends, then trade them in for special items.

Open your giftbox and you’ll find a Valentines Box waiting for you.



After you place the Valentines Box on your Farm, you will see the following pop-up.



Clicking "Okay" will open your Valentine's Day Box. From here, you can see how many Valentines you have collected in the Progress Menu.


In order to collect Valentines, you’ll have to receive them from friends. Clicking the ‘Ask for Love’ button will allow you to send a single Valentines Gift to any of your friends (just like the Free Gifts page), and give them the chance to send you one in return.

Friends can also send Valentines from the Free Gifts page:



Upon receiving and accepting a Valentine it will appear in your gift box. Clicking "Use" will place the gift in your box automatically. As you collect gifts, each item you can unlock will be revealed as you collect the proper amount of gifts, and the "redeem" button will become available for each item. Clicking "Redeem" will award you the gift in return for the proper amount of Valentines.

Every 5 Valentines you collect, you’ll be able to post a Feed to your wall to alert your Friends of how well you’re doing and give them a chance to collect a free Valentine. 10 Neighbors will be able to collect one free Valentine when clicking on the feed within 24 hours.

For each notch on the meter of your Valentines Box’s temperature gauge, your box will change appearance, overflowing with more and more gifts.



Clicking "Share" on this pop-up will allow you to post a feed alerting your friends of your progress, and giving 10 more neighbors a chance for a free Valentine.

Clicking ‘Progress’ in the Valentines Box menu will show how many Valentines you have in comparison to your friends.
