FAQ

Why am I not earning Balloons?

In order to start collecting Balloons, you must first place the Ferris Wheel down in your restaurant. Once the Ferris Wheel has been placed in your restaurant for the first time, you can place it back into your storage and still collect Balloons.

Why can’t I upgrade my Ferris Wheel, if I have collected enough Balloons?

If you cannot upgrade your Ferris Wheel, even though you have collected enough Balloons, then you need to restock your Ferris Wheel more times in order to reach the restocking requirement for upgrading. 

Can I still collect more Balloons while waiting to finish the required number of restocks for an upgrade?

Yes! You can still collect Balloons, even if it exceeds the upgrade requirement, and the counter will keep track of the Balloons collected.

Once a new upgrade is available, what happens if I restock my Ferris Wheel before I upgrade it?

You can still restock your Ferris Wheel but it will NOT count towards unlocking the next upgrade.

I can’t find my Ferris Wheel. What happened?

When you first find your Ferris Wheel in the shops, it will appear at the top of the functional items (dog) tab. Once you have placed your Ferris Wheel for the first time, if you put the Ferris Wheel back into the storage then you will have to scroll through the list of all functional items in order to find it. Start scrolling down the list all of the items pictured under the functional items (dog) tab and you will find your Ferris Wheel there. Drag and drop it to place it back into your restaurant.

Is it possible to sell the Ferris Wheel back to the shop?

No. Your Ferris Wheel can’t be sold back to the shop. This is to prevent you from accidentally selling your Ferris Wheel so that your item and progress is not lost by mistake.

I am below level 15. How can I get the Free Ferris Wheel?

If you reach level 15 during the 1 month timeframe that the Ferris Wheel is available, you will be able to claim your Ferris Wheel by entering the shop, followed by the pet tab, and placing it down at your restaurant.

Will I still earn Balloons once the Ferris Wheel is fully upgraded?

Congratulations on completing your Ferris Wheel! You will no longer collect Balloons once you have fully completed the item.
