Farmville 2: The Ice Cream Social

The Ice Cream Social!

The time has come to celebrate summer by hosting Ice Cream Socials! Crafting Sundaes in the Ice Cream Cart will earn you Tickets, which you can redeem for rewards and the exclusive baby Tyrol Grey Cow!

If you are level 10 or higher, you will see the following pop-up. Click on the blue “Start Building” button to get started.

Building the Ice Cream Cart:

Before you can host an Ice Cream Social, you will need to build your Ice Cream Cart. Your first step is collecting Building Materials. You will need the following items to start building your Ice Cream Cart.

• Candy Jars
• Yellow Tablecloths
• Ice Cream or Ice Blocks

To collect Candy Jars, click on the “Post” button to post to your Facebook wall; you will get the parts when your friends click on it, or when you click on a similar newsfeed post.

To collect Yellow Tablecloths, click on the “Ask” button to send requests to your Neighbors.

To collect Ice Blocks, click on the “Ask” button to send requests to your Neighbors.

To collect Ice Cream, click on the blue “Craft” button to craft this Recipe in the Crafting Kitchen. The required Ingredients are Half & Half and Sugar.

Note: If you do not wish to wait for your friends, you can skip any of these tasks for Farm Bucks.

Note: You can send requests for materials to your friends every 18 hours.       

Once you have collected the required items, click on the “Start Building” button at the bottom of the construction Menu. 

  

Now that the Ice Cream Cart is almost complete, you will need a little help from your Neighbors to finish the job. The Ice Cream Cart requires four additional helpers, so click on the “Ask Friends” button to send some crew requests to your friends. When they accept, you will see the spots in the Build Menu begin to fill. If you do not wish to wait for your friends, click the “Hire One” button to purchase crew members with Farm Bucks.

Using the Ice Cream Cart:

Click on the Ice Cream Cart to open the main menu. 

This menu shows how many Tickets you have collected and what prizes you are currently eligible to redeem. 

A – The total amount of Tickets you have. You earn Tickets by feeding Sundaes to your friends. This number keeps counting up, even as you redeem prizes.
B – The button to use when you want to Craft Sundaes and feed to your friends (earn Tickets).

C – The number of Farm Bucks required to purchase a Decoration.

D – The amount of Tickets you will receive once a friend has eaten that particular Sundae.

E – The total amount of that particular Sundae that is ready to serve to your friends.

F – If you want to invite your friends over to taste your Sundaes, click this button and a request will post to your feed and let you send a request to friends.

Crafting Sundaes:

In order to earn Tickets, you must craft the Sundae Recipes and invite your friends over to taste them. You can craft your very own Sundaes via the Cart. From the Ice Cream Cart menu, click on the blue “Make” button to open the Recipe menu. You can choose from three different Recipes:

• Berry Sundae: The required Ingredients are Boysenberries and Milk (Boysenberries is a limited edition Crop that you can purchase for Coins from the General Store). You will receive a total of one Ticket per friend that tastes your Sundaes.

• Chocolate Sundae: The required Ingredients are Chocolate Sauce and Strawberries. You will receive a total of two Tickets per friend that tastes your Sundaes.

• Banana Split: The required Ingredients are Sprinkles and Bananas. You will receive a total of three Tickets per friend that tastes your Sundaes.

Once you have filled your six Sundae slots, the “Make 1” button on the Recipe Card will grey out and you will be unable to craft more until Friends have tasted what you have already crafted.

  

Note: The sweeter the Sundae, the more Tickets you will receive when a friend tastes it!

Collecting Tickets:

To get Tickets, you will need to enlist the help of your friends. From the Ice Cream Cart menu, click on the turquoise “Invite” button to send requests to your friends. Some other friends will visit your farm from time to time to taste your Sundaes too!

Note: If you do not wish to wait, you can purchase these visitors and/or individual Tickets for Farm Bucks from the Ice Cream Cart menu.

When Tickets appears on your farm after hosting an Ice Cream Social, click on them and you will see the following pop-up:

  

Click on the turquoise “Share Tickets” button to post a feed to your wall. Your friends will be able click on this feed to claim some free Tickets for themselves too. Once you have clicked on the Ticket, it will be automatically added to your Ice Cream Cart. 

Note: You can share Tickets with friends every 18 hours. Simply click the turquoise “Share Tickets” button at the bottom of the message.       

Redeeming Tickets for Prizes:

Once you have collected enough Tickets, they can be redeemed for some great prizes. Click on your Ice Cream Cart to open up your progress menu. 
You can redeem the following five prizes with Tickets:

• Ice Cream Cone Balloon (10 Tickets)

Note: Redeeming Tickets for any of the Ice Cream Cart prizes will not deduct from your Ticket count total (your Ticket count will not decrease).

These prizes can be redeemed multiple times in a row, as long as you have enough Tickets. Once you have collected enough Tickets to reach the end of the meter (140 Tickets), you will earn the cute baby Tyrol Grey Cow!

  

The baby Tyrol Grey Cow can be redeemed with Tickets or Farm Bucks more than once. You can purchase additional baby Tyrol Grey Cows for Farm Bucks after you have earned the first one for Tickets. After you have redeemed the baby Tyrol Grey Cow the first time, your ticket meter will reset, and you will be able to earn all of the prizes additional times.
