Lily’s Garden Guide: Tips, Cheats & Tricks for Helping Lily Renovate the Garden

Any avid player of mobile games will surely recognize this ad, especially since it blew up on Twitter at one point: a lady with short red hair and pink glasses tries to stuff in all her dirty laundry inside a washing machine.

The lid wouldn’t close, so she decides to sit on the machine to keep the top from opening. She switches the machine on and it begins to shake. At this point, the woman makes a face to suggest, well, something we can’t directly say on account of it not being family-friendly at all.

You’ve seen it, we’re sure!

Or perhaps you’ve seen the sequel to this ad, which is the same woman trying to do her laundry, except she takes her friends along to the laundromat. This time, though, they brought along some candles and wine, suggesting they were in for a long night of enjoyment. They each sit on their own laundry machines and proceed to “do their laundry.”

This one, too!

If you’ve seen these ads, which you probably have since a handful of YouTubers, including PewDiePie, have made videos on these, you might be wondering, what sort of game is Lily’s Garden?

lily's garden cover 2
A garden full of fun.

Developed by Tactile Games, Lily’s Garden was released back in February 2019, and people who have watched its rather intriguing ads, for the lack of a better term, either think they’re a little bit strange or weirdly epic in a way. Still, you can’t deny how they caught people’s attention and that’s something that likely falls under the category of successful marketing.

In fact, if you do a quick search on YouTube, you’ll see compilations of Lily’s Garden ads, which in themselves revolve around a plot centered on romance, fake pregnancies, real pregnancies, fake deaths, and guys driving off on a scooter. The game’s got its own lore that anyone can get easily invested in, partly because it piques your curiosity and partly because these ads may remind you of a TV series.

In its Google Play page, though, Lily’s Garden is described as a match-3 game but it hardly plays like your garden-variety match-3 (pun totally intended). In fact, the gameplay is quite different from the usual match-3 titles like Candy Crush, Farm Heroes Saga, Match Land, Matchington Mansion, Storyngton Hall, and many others.

Even the character designs from the ads are somewhat different from the overall design of the game’s interface. Still, if there’s something that the ads and the game itself has in common, it’s that Lily does have a budding romantic story, but it’s more of a side dish in the game proper than anything.

The actual story of Lily’s Garden revolves around Lily Roberts’ great aunt, Mary LaRosa, who had already passed away. With her great aunt Mary’s passing, Lily inherits her huge estate, but this seemingly fortunate inheritance comes with a condition: Lily has to restore the ramshackle place to its former glory in just 30 days!

lily's garden 4
Or is it, Lily? Dun dun dunnn!

As you follow Lily’s story and renovation efforts, you’ll be meeting a colorful cast of characters, from Lily’s wacky neighbor Luke to Regina the local carpenter; cousin Larry the drunk, who was supposed to inherit the estate on account of being great aunt Mary’s stepson; Dog the, er, dog Luke takes care of; Blaine, the obnoxious blonde who happens to be Lily’s ex from the city; and many others.

As Lily goes through the huge property, she realizes just how decrepit and neglected everything had become. Along the way, Lily also finds old photos scattered on the grounds, making her reminisce about the wonderful childhood she had spent with her great aunt in the once beautiful estate.

What a sweet photo. It’s abuzz with good memories!

With renewed determination and some help from her newfound friends, Lily attempts to cover as much ground as she can in 30 days to restore the estate, just as her great aunt Mary had asked of in her last will.

Similar to most match-3s, your renovation efforts will require stars, which you earn by playing the main game. Stars are used to accomplish renovation tasks or tasks that will push the story forward.

lily's garden 6
We get that Lily can address the topiaries since it’s her garden, but why not tell the carpenter to build the arches? Two birds with one stone!

While renovating the estate, particularly the garden, you get to choose between 3 different designs for certain objects, furniture, and other fixtures you’ve repaired. You may change the design anytime by long clicking on the object and choosing another design from what’s available.

lily's garden 7
Make the garden look prettier than it used to be!

Upon spending stars to complete story or renovation tasks, you slowly fill up a progress bar that can yield rewards when you reach a certain completion percentage. Once you reach 100% of the progress bar, you’re guaranteed a gift box from which you can earn lives, boosters, and coins, among other things (more on these later). Reaching 100% of the progress bar will also mark the end of the day and spending 1 star will let you begin the next.

lily's garden 8
Does ending the day grant us a star, too?

Remember that Lily supposedly has 30 days to restore the estate, but each day has numerous tasks, some of which may require more than 1 star. If you manage to reach Level 100 of the main game, you’d only actually be on the 5th day of the renovation process.

lily's garden 9
The only way forward.

Speaking of the main game, Lily’s Garden doesn’t play like a typical match-3 where you can move tiles around and match a minimum of 3 tiles of the same type. In this game, you can actually match 2 tiles of the same type but tiles are fixed and cannot be moved to make matches. The only time that tiles can move is when other tiles have been matched, thus affecting the rest of the other tiles around them by letting more tiles fall.

lily's garden 10
This isn’t your regular puzzle game.

Matching a pair is the minimum requirement, but matching a certain number will allow you to create boosters, each of which have different effects. These boosters can help you change up the board’s arrangement in a more significant way by eliminating special tiles, and may even be the key to accomplishing your level goals.

lily's garden 11
What a hearty board this is!

Of course, you’re only allotted a limited number of moves to either eliminate or collect the tiles and items required to complete your level goals.

lily's garden 12
Can you do it in 29?

We already know that clearing a level in the main game will earn you stars, but what happens when you fail to accomplish level goals? In this case, you lose a life. Unlike other match-3s, which typically have a total of 5 lives you can spend, Lily’s Garden will only give you 4 lives. Once you fail to clear a level and lose a life, you need to wait 20 minutes before a single life you lost can be refreshed.

lily's garden 13
Continue?

Other features of the game include participating in limited-time events, joining a community of other players, and many more.

If you’re someone who just got into Lily’s Garden and have started playing, you know that the game can be both challenging and engaging. The story, too, is something that will keep you hooked, especially since a budding romance between Lily and her neighbor Luke is implied early on. Just like Lily, getting some help to complete the 30-day renovation definitely won’t hurt, and this is what this guide is all about!

With our beginner’s guide for Lily’s Garden, we’ll share a handful of matching strategies, tips when using boosters, ways you can beat obstacles, complete level goals with flying colors, and explore the other features of the game while unlocking what comes next in Lily’s story!

What’s on Your Board

We’ve briefly gone over how the basic game mechanics work in our intro. That said, before diving headfirst into matching strategies, we need to be fully acquainted with the tiles and items that you’ll be working with to make these strategies work. In this section, we’ll be discussing the kinds of tiles you will encounter, boosters you can make, and consumable boosters that act as bonus power-ups.

Tiles

For the sake of convenience, we’ll be dividing tile types in 2 categories:

lily's garden 14
  • Normal tiles: These tiles have different colors and different flower symbols on them. To match tiles together, all you need to do is click on a pair of tiles or more that are beside or around each other. Again, you can’t move any of the tiles so you’ll only be able to eliminate those that make 2 or more matches.
lily's garden 15
  • Booster tiles: These tiles are similar to normal tiles, except the symbol on their surface is darker and may come in the form of a rocket, a bomb, or a swirl. Booster tiles can be created when normal tiles of the same color are connected to each other.

    The symbols change depending on the number of tiles that you manage to connect together. Once you click on a group of booster tiles, they will turn into the booster that corresponds with the symbols last indicated on their surface.

Boosters

Boosters are special items that have different effects on the board when activated. As mentioned, boosters are created from matching booster tiles of the same color. You may continue to make matches to increase the number of booster tiles that are connected to each other as this will affect what kind of booster symbol will appear. To illustrate, here are the 3 types of boosters:

lily's garden 16
  • Rocket: Created when you manage to connect 5 to 7 tiles of the same color, which will lead to rocket booster tiles. When you click on these tiles with the rocket symbol, a rocket will appear on the board after eliminating the tiles you’ve matched. Depending on the direction it’s facing, rockets can clear either a horizontal or vertical line of tiles. Unfortunately, you can’t choose which direction a rocket booster will face.
lily's garden 17
  • Bomb: Created when you manage to connect 8 to 9 tiles of the same color, which will lead to bomb booster tiles. When you click these tiles with the bomb symbol, a bomb will appear after eliminating the tiles you’ve matched. When activated, bombs remove tiles within a small radius, with the bomb acting as the center of the blast.
lily's garden 18
  • Magic Flask: Created when you manage to connect 10 or more tiles of the same color, which will lead to swirl booster tiles. When you click these tiles with the swirl symbol, a magic flask will appear. The color of the liquid inside the flask will depend on the color of the tiles you’ve used to create this booster.

    For instance, if you connect 10 blue tiles, they will have the swirl symbol. Clicking on these will get you a magic flask with blue liquid. Upon activation, the magic flask will remove all tiles of the same color from the board.

Each booster has its advantages depending on the situation, which we’ll delve more into later. You get an even higher advantage when you combine boosters together as these, too, will have different effects.

lily's garden 19

Boosters can be combined when you click on 2 boosters adjacent to each other. For the sake of convenience, we’ve arranged these combinations and effects in a nifty table below:

lily's garden rocketlily's garden bomblily's garden magic flask
RocketBombMagic Flask
lily's garden rocketCombining 2 rockets will clear 1 row and 1 column in a cross-shaped pattern, with the location of the match acting as the center of the crossDepending on the direction of the rocket with which the bomb was matched, activating this combination will clear either 3 rows or 3 columnsDepending on the color inside the magic flask, combining it with a rocket will turn all tiles of the same color into rockets, which will automatically be activated

lily's garden bombCombining 2 bombs will cause an explosion that has a bigger radius than just 1 bomb being detonated, with the location of the match acting as the center of the blastDepending on the color inside the magic flask, combining it with a bomb will turn all tiles of the same color into bombs, which will automatically be detonated
Bomb
lily's garden magic flaskCombining 2 magic flasks will eliminate all tiles from the board
Magic Flask

With just 3 booster types, you may find these combinations to be rather limited, but that’s where the challenge of the game lies, and these 3 booster types and combinations are more than enough to give you a, well, boost during each level. The trick here is to recognize what kind of booster or combination is the best for every situation, which we’ll cover in our matching strategies.

Otherwise, keep connecting tiles of the same color so you can create the booster that you want to show up on the board, especially if you need to eliminate blockades or collect special tiles.

Upon reaching Level 6 of the main game, however, you may be able to unlock starter boosters, which you can use at the beginning of every match. These are the boosters we’ve mentioned above, except you can select which ones you’d like to have at the beginning of the level.

Starter boosters essentially let you skip the matching process to create any and all of the available boosters, provided you have enough of them to use. You may earn an infinite amount of starter boosters for a short duration when you participate in limited-time events or earn them as rewards. The location of starter boosters on the board will be at random.

Consumable Boosters

There’s another type of booster that you can use, except these are not created by matching tiles. Instead, these boosters are separate from the board and have a limited number, which is why we have referred to them in this guide as consumable boosters.

There are 2 kinds of consumable boosters:

lily's garden 20
  • Hand Trowel: Unlocked when you reach Level 10 of the main game. When used, a hand trowel will allow you to select any single tile on the board to be eliminated.
lily's garden 21
  • Rake:  Unlocked when you reach Level 13 of the main game. A rake will let you clear a single row and single column of tiles in a cross pattern, with your selected tile acting as the center. This basically works similarly to a double rocket combo.

The main difference between regular boosters and consumable boosters, aside from how you obtain them, is that consumable boosters don’t spend moves when used. Basically, if you use a hand trowel or a rake to clear tiles, you’d still have the same number of remaining moves for the round. However, as mentioned, consumable boosters are limited in number and unless you get more as rewards, prudent usage is advised.

Tackling Special Tiles

lily's garden 22
You got gnomed!

To make the game even more challenging, you will encounter different special tiles that may either serve as blockades and/or collectibles you need to get to complete level goals. Since the there are hundreds of levels in the main game, we’ll only be discussing 13 kinds of special tiles, what they look like, and how you may remove them from the board or collect them:

AppearanceSpecial TilesHow to Remove/Collect
DandelionsMake matches next to dandelions to collect them.
RocksMake matches next to rocks to collect them. Some rocks may have multiple layers so you need to make multiple matches beside them before you can collect them.
BubblesBubbles can only be collected when the tiles inside them have been matched. That said, some bubble tiles may contain special tiles, which you need to remove first to replace them with normal tiles that can be matched.
FlowersMaking matches next to flowers will let you collect bees.
Potted PlantsMatch potted plants with tiles of the same color to collect them. Some potted plants may need multiple matches to cause the plant to bloom. Only when the plant is in full bloom that it can be collected with a single match.
Seed BagsTo collect seed bags, you need to bring each bag to the bottom of the board.
Box of Seed BagsSimilar to seed bags, the box of seed bags can be collected when brought to the bottom of the board. The only difference between them is their appearance and the spaces they occupy.
ChestnutsMake 2 matches next to chestnuts to collect them.
MushroomsTo collect mushrooms, you need to match them with tiles of the same color.
CagesOpening cages requires you to match tiles next to them. Making matches will also let you collect the tile inside the cage.
BushesMaking matches next to bushes will switch on the light bulbs on it. Once all the light bulbs have been lit, they can be collected as part of your level goals (if included) and the bush will disappear from the board.
GnomesTo collect gnomes, they must be matched with tiles of the same color. One match will eliminate only 1 gnome of the tiles’ corresponding color. If there are multiple gnomes of the same color, collecting all of them will also require multiple matches.
PortalsPortals aren’t considered blockades or collectibles, though they can be tricky as tiles that go through portals will be transported to another location on the board. Portals can be rather tricky when you also have seed bags or a box of seed bags as part of your level goals since portals are not considered to be the “bottom” of the board even if that’s where they can be located.

There are many other special tiles that you’ll come across as you go higher up the levels of the main game, but these 13 types should give you a good idea of what you might be up against in the future. Let’s now dive into matching strategies to see the most effective ways to collect these tiles and clear levels overall.

Matching Strategies

lily's garden 36
Where should you start?

Now it’s time for the good part: gathering all that we’ve learned so far to come up with creative and effective ways to clear levels and fulfill all level goals without wasting any of your precious moves. One thing you should know is that aside from regular levels, you may also encounter:

lily's garden 37
  • Hard Levels: As its name suggests, hard levels have a higher difficulty than normal levels. They may also spring up at random. Encountering a hard level may mean less moves to spend, a longer list of level goals, tiles that are harder to collect, limited matching opportunities, lower chances of matching to create boosters, and the like.
lily's garden 38
  • Bonus Levels: These are levels that will simply ask you to match next to coins to get as many of them as you can with your allotted moves. However, the game doesn’t quite make it easy as there are only limited spaces on the board with which matches can be made. That said, collecting a hefty amount of coins may require some creativity on your part when it comes to matching.

Regardless of the level classifications you encounter, we’ve prepared a few tips and tricks that can help you clear these levels simply by keeping these strategies in mind:

  • Decide which level goals to prioritize. Before beginning any level, make it a point to check your number of allotted moves and the goals you’re required to meet. Gauge which of these are easier or more difficult to tackle depending on the board’s layout and how the tiles are arranged. Additionally, take note of which special tiles are included in that specific level, and whether or not it’s more feasible to get rid of the more difficult ones or the easier ones first. It’s more than likely that these special tiles will be part of your level goals so, depending on the situation, you may choose to remove them based on how difficult it is to approach them.
  • Open up as much space as you can. Further to deciding which goals to prioritize, it’s also a good idea to take into account whether your choice can open up a significant area on the board, especially when there are special tiles on it. For instance, between eliminating dandelions and 2-layer rocks, it may be more advantageous to remove dandelions first so you’ll have more space to match tiles and create boosters that will remove the rocks.

    Also take into account where special tiles are located: is it better to tackle those at the top or the bottom first? Are there special tiles in the middle that should be removed? Additionally, depending on the board’s shape and layout, opening up more space may mean prioritizing either horizontal or vertical matches.

    For example, if a board has a narrow orientation, vertical matches are likely to open up more space, and vice versa. This can also lead to more boosters or being able to connect more tiles to create boosters. Choosing which boosters to activate will also affect how much space can be freed up.

    For instance, while a magic flask can eliminate all tiles of the same color, it may be disadvantageous to use it when the color of the flask doesn’t correspond to a lot of tiles currently on the board.
  • Observe which boosters work best against special tiles and collectibles. Speaking of boosters, some will work well against special tiles while others might not. For instance, if special tiles are bunched up together, bombs might be a better option against them.

    However, if you need to remove or collect special tiles in a line, a well-placed rocket could make short work of these. Multi-layer tiles like rocks or chestnuts can be best eliminated by combining a magic flask with a bomb booster so you can trigger multiple explosions, provided the tiles you convert into bombs are located near these special tiles.

    On the other hand, bubbles are a little tricky because unless a booster inside a bubble has been activated, boosters won’t affect bubbles. Instead, you need to match tiles directly located inside the bubbles for these to be removed or collected.
  • Select where you will create boosters. During the early stages of the game, you might have been randomly clicking at booster tiles. Just as long as you match them, it should be fine, right? But did you know that you can actually dictate the exact location of where boosters can be created? That’s right: when matching booster tiles, clicking on 1 tile to make the match will create the booster in the space where you clicked that specific tile.

    This means, you can actually select where you will create a booster, allowing you to place it in an area that’s most advantageous. This works exceptionally well with rockets since they can only move in one direction. The caveat is that the direction of the created rocket will still be at random so even if you select the area where you want to create it, the direction it will have will still be a matter of luck on your part.
  • Combining boosters is always a plus. This can lead to a greater area of effect so make it a point to create at least 2 boosters next to each other. You don’t have to bunch up too many boosters in one place as you can cover more ground when potential combos are scattered across the board.

    Of course, proper placement will make booster combos even more effective and can clear bigger areas with just one move. Keep in mind that, when activated, boosters can also trigger other boosters when the latter are placed along an active booster’s area of effect.

    For instance, if you use a rocket and it hits a bomb along the way, the bomb will detonate. As mentioned, some boosters might work well for some special tiles or board layouts, while others do not. Take this into consideration when combining boosters.
  • Save consumable boosters for last. Again, they have a limited number so even though using them won’t count as a move, you can still run out of them in the long term. Thus, save them as a last resort, perhaps when you’re down to 1 or 2 moves and have no available matches that can complete your level goals.

    As much as possible, try to use consumable boosters when you’re certain that you’ll win when you use them. This is especially helpful when you’re playing a hard level or if you don’t want to lose the bonuses from your winning streak (more on this later). Otherwise, it’s best to keep them for emergencies.
  • Make each move count. What we mean by this is that try not to get too preoccupied making boosters or trying to connect tiles just to get a different booster. After all, your moves are intended to help you fulfill level goals. If you get sidetracked just making boosters or connecting tiles for the sake of making a specific booster, you might not have enough moves to activate them all.

    Similarly, having lots of boosters won’t guarantee a win since you need to take your level goals into account, how effective boosters can be given the current tile set, and their placement. If you don’t have enough starter boosters to use, your winning streaks can always get you that bonus.

Winning Streaks Give You an Edge

lily's garden 39
Can you keep it up?

If you play your cards, er, tiles, right, you might enjoy a continuous winning streak. Aside from giving you a sense of accomplishment, winning streaks can actually get you starter boosters for free. Upon reaching Level 35 of the main game, you can start each level with a rocket, a bomb, and a magic flask, provided you manage to achieve a minimum of 3 winning streaks.

The way this works is that when you win once, you start the next level with a free rocket. Winning twice in a row will start the next level with a rocket and a bomb. Winning three times will start the next level with a rocket, bomb, and magic flask. All these boosters will be placed at random and unlike regular starter boosters, these come for free.

The only condition you have to fulfill is that you need to keep your winning streak. Otherwise, the counter resets and you have to achieve a minimum of 3 winning streaks to use all these free boosters in the beginning of the next level.

Of course, you can still use regular starter boosters to add on top of the winning boosters for an added edge, especially if you’re about to enter a hard level.

Coins Save Lives

lily's garden 40
Collect and spend!

Now that you know the benefits of winning levels besides getting rewards, it becomes even more important to continue clearing levels as much as you can. However, it’s inevitable that you’ll come across levels that are just mind-bogglingly difficult, and they don’t always have to be labeled as hard levels. What happens then when you find yourself at your wits’ end with just 1 more move to spare and no more boosters available, even the consumable ones?

This is where your coin reserves will come in handy. Each time you clear levels, you acquire a small amount of coins, which you can use to purchase 5 extra moves to continue playing a particularly difficult level.

The 5 extra moves cost 900 coins and you can continue purchasing them if you have enough coins to spare. With these extra moves, you can clear a level without having to sacrifice a life and lose your winning streak.

lily's garden 41

Be warned, however, that this can easily drain your coin reserves if you’re not careful. While purchasing extra moves really does come in handy, we recommend doing this when you’re absolutely sure that you can clear the level with just 1 or 2 sets of extra moves. Otherwise, it may be better to lose a life since the game often gives you, among other rewards, infinite lives for a short duration when you participate in limited-time events.

Earn More Rewards from Limited-Time Events

lily's garden 42
Pretty little things!

Typical to many match-3 games, you’ll encounter limited-time events in Lily’s Garden that can earn you bonuses whenever you play the main game. As suggested by its name, limited-time events will only remain active for several days or a few hours, depending on when you were able to catch them.

Rewards from limited-time events include, but aren’t limited to the following:

  • Extra lives
  • Extra boosters (starter or consumable)
  • Infinite lives for a short duration (the duration can lengthen if you manage to earn multiple infinite lives whose timers can be added on top of each other)
  • Infinite boosters for a short duration (may apply to only 1 or all boosters depending on the reward, and the duration can also lengthen similar to infinite lives)
  • Extra coins

During our run, we encountered a handful of limited time events, such as the Zinnia Sprint, where  clearing levels of the main game will get you points to grow a Zinnia flower. As the Zinnia flower grows with each win, you’ll be able to get several gift boxes depending on the flower’s height. When the Zinnia flower becomes fully bloomed, you’ll be able to claim a gift box that has tons of rewards.

lily's garden 43

We were also able to catch the Honey Run event, where you’re required to collect as many yellow tiles as you can while playing the main game. Doing so will let you accumulate points, which will reward you with bonuses when you manage to get enough.

lily's garden 44

The Easter Season event was also active during our playthrough, where winning levels will let you collect bunny tokens. Depending on the number of bunny tokens you acquire, you’ll be able to claim different rewards.

From time to time during this event, you’ll encounter Last Call rewards, which can only be earned when you acquire a certain number of bunny tokens before the timer for the reward expires. If you miss the Last Call reward, the bunny tokens you acquire will be counted for the next regular reward.

lily's garden 45

Although they only last for a specific duration, you can participate in multiple limited-time events provided they’re still active. Check which ones are still ongoing and what they require to accumulate points. Often, you just need to continuously play the main game and clear levels, with some specific tasks in between.

Play the Mini Games When You Catch Them

lily's garden 46
As seen on TV!

From time to time, you’ll also be able to catch mini games, which is an easy way to earn stars and coins. You’ll know that a mini game is available when the play button for entering levels (which is colored green with a level number) is replaced by a puzzle icon. If you click on the puzzle icon, you can choose to enter a mini game or skip it.

Mini games earn you 1 star and a tiny amount of coins, and while this can seem rather insignificant compared to rewards yielded by clearing levels of the main game, it’s nothing to scoff at either. If anything, mini games are almost like tossing players a freebie: these quick puzzles are short and quite easy to clear, and even if you fail to solve it, you can try as many times as you like without the risk of losing lives or your winning streak.

That’s 1 easy star each time you catch a mini game, and though the coin rewards are small, saving up enough of them can still add to your reserves. Moreover, mini games can serve as a quick mental break from clearing levels, which may help you refresh your mind for the next challenge.

Join a Family

lily's garden 47
We are family! Nothing rhymes with family!

The family that plays together wins together! When you reach level 75 of the main game, you’ll be able to join a family, which is the equivalent of joining a community of other players for extra perks. Of course, you can choose to create your own family, but as a beginner, we recommend joining active families first before creating your own later.

Teaming up with family members will allow you to enjoy the following:

  • Use the chat function to ask fellow family members if they have tips to beat specific levels or if they have some more strategies to share.
  • Earn extra coins by helping family members with their requests, such as asking for extra boosters or extra lives. Helping out is totally free of charge, though you can only help a family member once.
  • If you’re stuck on a level, you can even ask family members to play the level for you, provided you’ve tried to play the current level you’re in at least once. Similarly, you can return the favor and help family members with the level they’re stuck in. The only catch is that you can only attempt to play the level once and, if you lose, you’ll also lose a life and won’t be able to try a second time.

When searching for families to join, it’s best to enter open families that have at least 15 or more out of the maximum 30 members. This is because more members means more people who can help you and vice versa. It’s also more likely that families with more members mean more active people to fulfill your requests.

Conversely, families with fewer members might mean that you’d have to wait a long while just for a handful of people to notice your requests. Thus, find active families with at least half the member slots filled to fully enjoy the perks teaming up has to offer.

Claim Your Dailies

lily's garden 48
A new prize every day.

Like most mobile games, Lily’s Garden will reward you for logging into the game every day. Each day that you log in, you’ll earn a random reward that you can use to your advantage, such as extra boosters or infinite lives. During the 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 30th day, you’ll get gift boxes that contain multiple rewards instead of individual ones.

However, when you forget to log in for just one day, the counter will reset and you’ll be back to Day 1. That said, even if you don’t feel like playing, just logging in every day will let you claim your dailies and continue your streak.

Watch Ads for Bonus Rewards

Watching ads are, of course, a staple in mobile games, and Lily’s Garden has its share of ads that can let you earn bonus rewards. The good news is, you won’t have to endure forced ads but instead have the choice of watching ads if you want to get the following:

lily's garden 49
  • 2 free starter boosters: Occasionally, before entering a level, you’ll be given the choice to watch an ad to get 2 random starter boosters. Though you have to watch an ad for it, it’s not entirely a bad deal, especially if you don’t want to use starter boosters or don’t have any to spare. 
lily's garden 50
  • Double coin rewards: After clearing a level, you get to earn 1 star and a handful of coins. You can double the amount of coins you earn when you watch an ad, provided the option is available. The amount won’t be as hefty but a little always goes a long way, especially since coins can get you extra moves to keep your winning streak intact.

With that, we conclude our beginner’s guide for Lily’s Garden! Which level are you at right now? Is there a particular level or special tile you’ve had a difficult time tackling? What’s your favorite booster or combo to use? Are there other tips and tricks you’d like to share with your fellow players? Feel free to share your thoughts in our comment section below!

Very nice game lily garden is on life 9798 Just find it annoying that you can only play for such a short time and then have to wait a long time for an update Don't have facebook maybe that's why
