So far I’m enjoying the event, I’m on 1100 points at this moment, I haven’t trashed a task yet.
I prepare the tasks first and take them when the items are produced so I can finish it because of the short timers.

Glad for the trash ability!
I don't have any donkey's so feeding one wasn't going to happen 😅
I really am enjoying the format of this event, definitely keeping me engaged
Its also tempting me to spend diamonds to speed production and watch time reducing ads...
....well played supercell....well played 😅😁

Besides that the threshold rewards for the 3 day global truck are not the same for the non deco thresholds. I have different rewards compared to yours. ohoh, no donkeys, hope DF doesn’t read your posting and my reply. |

Is there a limit on how many tasks you can do, like the derby? Or you can complete as many tasks as you want to get the prizes? My best guess is that when you have reached the final reward you will not be able to do any more tasks. Much like the farm pass operates. This is only my opinion and a guess. We will find out when a member reaches the end and comments. 😊 |

No limit on how many you can complete but the amount available is set at 300, they don't respawn when trashed You can trash awkward tasks you don't want (e.g produce 3x sushi) BUT the trick is that if you trash too many you run the risk of not having enough points left to get to the end If you trash, it will regenerate in 5 minutes but it doest go back into the count. Example you start with 300 tasks, trash 3. They regenerate, but you still only have 297 tasks available. |

I'm actually loving this event. It's reminiscent of my early days of playing, when I had to work out strategies, and really think about what I was doing.
For example: do I clear that machine, or is it producing event items; which task do I take first; how does that one impact with Bingo tasks?
I've messed up on my crops already, suddenly finding I had only 2 rice! (Thank goodness for baby farms!)
I'm also watching adverts to speed things up (well, playing adverts rather than watching).
The event is a refreshing change, imo. Thanks Supercell! 😊

Does anyone know if collection tasks work when Ernest and Co. are engaged?🤔 I’m curious too. I have a collect brown sugar as one of the tasks. I changed Ernie to “0” for brown sugar so that I could have it ready when I actually took the task. Once I do the task, I will change Ernie back to normal. The collections count even if Rose is collecting. I tried it on “Feed 30 chickens”. Edit: well perhaps I should say the “feeds” work. Just assuming collections will as well. 🤷♀️ |

For example: do I clear that machine, or is it producing event items; which task do I take first; how does that one impact with Bingo tasks? yes, this is where strategy kicks in again. That’s what I like about the event, together with derby, valley, trucks and farmpass. I decided that I will prepare my bingoboard, do trucks on the fly, continue with valley and farmpass. I plan on finishing the 2 week event this Thursday or Friday. Complete 3 bingo lines in one go and place top3. I did trash some event tasks, like 3 candy (that’s almost 3 days of work). You know how many task you can do, what the average number of points you need per task, so the remainder is available for trashing. 😉 EDIT: currently I am at 2000 points and have used 23 tasks. When all task’s would have been 30 points I would have used already close to 70 tasks. I can already trash 47 tasks and still get the final reward. EDIT2: now I can finally use two 3 building boosters at same time to reduce production times at six buildings with 50% 😉👍 |

I completed a task which gave me the points for the first carnival train/float prize. Immediately after completing it, I saw a notification that it was available to place in the decorations tab. I didn't place it immediately, and when I went back later to put it out on my farm I can not find it anywhere as a stored decoration. Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps a bug?

No, it should be under the tab “decorations”, if you type in the search function “carnival”, you will find them. btw welcome to the forum. |

I agree that this week will require (happily!) serious strategy. “Farm management”— what the game was originally all about and what I love most. I had to come here to figure out how everything works, especially combining UI changes with the 2-week birthday event. For me, the way things work was not intuitive. But…JustHayDay to the rescue!
I’m happy with being able to load machines with birthday tasks items and take the task as the products are ready. I didn’t know I could trash. That will be a help especially if I get a long-prep item like candy as someone mentioned.
My farmpass daily tasks today include planting 50 of two crops. I’m going to skip those 6 farmpass points. I’m sure that if I hog up plots for those, I’ll get a birthday task needing crops.
So far, the only farm planning that has gotten away from me involved coordinating the derby bingo board and the truck event. I completed 25 trucks before it dawned on me that I should have taken the nice 320-point bingo truck task. Oh well, I can still take it and finish 25 more trucks for the last truck event prize. I hope it’s another of the star balloons! I remember waaaay back when the animal balloons were annual prizes for the New Year’s event. I love my balloons!

Oh help, the carrousel isn’t the same width as the other carnival parade items I unlocked so far.
If you want to line them up like a parade it isn’t all that aesthetically pleasing

I finished 5 tasks and collected points from event when I realized I was on my Baby Farm! Oh damn, I switched back to the Main Farm and loaded goods into the machines.
I like HD but don't have time to get Bday prizes for both farms because that's too hardcore for me. ;-)

The lowest I got was 30 points, the highest so far 500, had to wake up 5 safari animals. We’re on a roll now. I like it that every part of the farm gets involved in the tasks. Feed 1 animal gives 100 points. With the 500 point task I can trash another 15 tasks, yehaaa

Does everyone know that the birthday
cannon deco is for 50 trucks?
I only found that out because I had two derby truck tasks… just wanted to ensure everyone knows, since it doesn’t seem clear from the event board.

I only found that out because I had two derby truck tasks… just wanted to ensure everyone knows, since it doesn’t seem clear from the event board. So that's what the object is in front of the truck. At first glance, it looked like a spittoon to me. I just finished 50 trucks and got the "Carnival Cannon". |

Has anyone gotten “feed a pet” as a birthday task? What does that mean? I have “feed one kitten” and “feed one horse” on the board and I don’t want to take the task until I know what I have to do to achieve it. I always keep milk in the cats’ bowls and carrots in the horses’ feed troughs even though my animals are usually asleep. Sooo….I’ve awakened my animals and they will eventually eat and go back to sleep. Once they’ve gone back to sleep, if I take the task and then fill the bowls, will that accomplish the task? Sorry if this is confusing.

…and as for the birthday “spittoon” (cannon)…no, I did not know it was the prize and certainly could not tell what it was from the illustration. The mayor is just waving around the usual 10 diamonds.

Indeed, I'm speculating the following. Team Hay Day choose the Carnival Cannon as the final prize instead of the global prize in case we didn't reach the global goal. At this current pace, we'll make it unless many players stop trucking after reaching the personal goal of 25. |

Offering the confetti cannon as the last prize is an excellent tweak. Let the global prize be diamonds. Everyone can use those. The farmers who really want the deco prize will get it even if the global goal isn’t met. This would be a good idea for events moving forward.

I finished the event. Contrary to my first thoughts the deco not to use because it's a little bit too much "special" I changed my mind. I think it's again time for a re-arrangement on my farm.
The Olympia corner was long enough "alive", now I intend to place the birthday rewards in a nice manner. Luckily I have enough layouts to try some things.
Conclusion:
Never say never at the very beginning as it could happen that you have to reconsider what to do. 😉 The event was awesome, no stress and easily to deal with. With a little bit strategy and good preparation very well manageable. And on the second look the rewards are really cute. 😍

That is going to join “Nothing ever dies on Hay Day” (except maybe the valley truck). When I first saw the decor theme for this birthday, I thought, “I won’t need to spend a cent or a diamond this year.”…Well, guess who is totally redecorating the Dibley Fields party field. I’ve gotten out all the birthday cakes and the calliope from a past New Years event. What I’m wondering is if this was all designed for Mardi Gras and for some reason got pushed to the birthday. |
