Why do I need stars, and how do I get them?
Stars are a special in-game resource you need to complete garden restoration tasks. They’re earned by playing match-3 levels, where you get one star for each regular or hard level you beat and two stars for super hard levels. 
How do I unlock new areas in the garden?
The garden is divided into areas that are unlocked one after another. It takes 3–5 game days to restore each area (complete all the tasks in it). It takes up to five stars to complete tasks in the garden, so beat match-3 levels to earn them. It takes more time to complete certain tasks, though you can always speed up the process if you don’t want to wait. Follow your progress and current tasks using the in-game tablet in the bottom left corner of the screen.
How do I personalize an area in the garden?
You can change the way most of the objects in the garden look after they’ve been built or restored using Design Mode. Tap and hold an object in the garden (a bench, street light, flower decoration, etc.) to see the available designs and pick the one you like.
IMPORTANT NOTE: you can change how objects look, but you can’t change where they’re located!
Lucky Spin
The Lucky Spin is available in the game after you lose a level and also appears as a daily bonus.
Every day at midnight (your local time) a character called Einar drops by your garden with his Lucky Spin. Tap him or the Lucky Spin icon on the left side of the screen to open the Lucky Spin window, then tap Stop! -> Claim Prize.
You have a chance at winning prizes like boosters, or, if you’re really lucky, the Jackpot as your daily bonus! If you don’t collect your bonus right away, don’t worry, it doesn’t go anywhere. You can collect it later that day if you enter the game.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
– You need a stable internet connection to collect your daily bonus.
– Your device time and date settings must be correct.
– You can only get the daily bonus once a day. Uncollected bonuses for previous days are not saved, nor do they accumulate.
How do I change my name or my pet’s name in the game?
You can change your name or the name of your dog whenever you want:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Change Name.
3. In the window that appears, tap Change Your Name to change your in-game name or Change Pet Name to change your pet’s name.
