You have ten minutes on a train and want something calm to tap through: plant wheat, feed the chickens, fill a truck order. Hay Day, from Supercell, is built for that kind of play. It is a farming game for Android, rated Everyone, and it sits in the farm games category.
Free to play, with ads and paid items
Hay Day costs nothing to download. Google Play lists both ads and in-app purchases, and the store text says some items, including random ones, can be bought with real money. Players who want to avoid spending can switch off in-app purchases in their device settings.
A network connection is required, so the game does not run offline.
Crops, bakeries, fishing and the neighborhood
The loop starts with plots of wheat and corn, which the developer says never die. You replant, turn crops into goods such as bread, and feed animals like chickens, horses and cows for eggs, bacon and dairy. Buildings such as the Bakery, BBQ Grill, Sugar Mill and Cake Oven widen what you can sell.
Sales go through a Roadside Shop, trucks or a steamboat. Away from the farm you can repair a dock at the Fishing Lake, fix the train station in Town and visit the Valley for seasonal events.
Neighborhoods hold up to 30 players. Members trade goods, share tips and compete in weekly derby events for rewards.
Version 1.73.89 and Android 7.0 support
The current version is 1.73.89, last updated on October 16, 2026. It needs Android 7.0 or later. The game first appeared on November 12, 2013.
Supercell offers a help site and an in-game route through Settings, then Help and Support, for problems.
