How to play FarmCapi: your first 15 minutes

To play FarmCapi, open the game in your browser and follow Capi. In about 10 minutes you harvest your first radishes, fix the chicken coop, get a hen, collect your first egg, pick a gift for the farm, replant, and leave a chick and an order on the way. The steps below follow the game's actual tutorial in the current version (November 2026), plus what to do in the 5 minutes after.

Nothing at the start costs coins or needs an account. If you do things out of order, Capi comments and waits. If you close the tab, you come back to the same step. The game is in early access with a focus on Brazil, and every screen below is fully in English.

Step by step

  1. Open the game. Go to farmcapi.com/play on a computer or phone. There's no sign-up screen: you land straight on a slightly run-down farm, with plots at different stages, 3 radish plots ready to pick (they glow) and a coop in ruins. Capi introduces herself.
  2. Harvest the 3 radish plots. With the Hand, which is already selected, tap each glowing plot. Each one gives 2 or 3 radishes, which go to your Barn.
  3. Fix the coop. Capi suggests trading radishes for lumber. Tap the coop and confirm the repair for 6 radishes. If you're short, Granny Coti lets you pay later. After some dust and hammering, the coop is good as new.
  4. Name your hen. A hen walks in through the pen gate. Pick one of 3 suggested names, ask for more ideas, or type your own (up to 14 characters).
  5. Feed the hen. Granny Coti sends 3 portions of feed as a gift. Tap the hen to feed her.
  6. Collect your first egg. The first egg takes just 40 seconds (after that, it's 10 minutes per feeding). Tap the egg: confetti, XP, and level 2, which adds carrots.
  7. Pick a gift for your farm. There are 3 free options: entrance sunflowers, a white fence or a blue roof. Your pick shows up right away; the others go on sale in the Shop's Decor tab. Closed the card without choosing? The gift waits for you under Gifts.
  8. Replant. On the plots you harvested: Hoe to till, Seeds to plant (radish is preselected), and Water to water. For radishes and carrots, each growth stage only advances on a wet plot, so water again when the droplet shows up.
  9. Set up a chick and an order. Your first egg goes into the incubator, and the chick hatches in about 2 hours. Granny Coti's cart arrives in about 1 hour with your first order: 2 eggs and 4 radishes, for 50 coins, 12 XP and 2 gems. Both appear in the queue at the top of the screen with a countdown.
  10. Decide on notifications and an account. Capi asks whether she can let you know when the chick hatches; saying no changes nothing in the game. Later you'll see "Create account & save" (Google, Apple or email). It's optional. Without one, your farm is saved in your browser and synced to our server, but it's tied to that device: if your browser data is cleared or you switch phones, it can't be recovered. With an account, it opens on any device.

The next 5 minutes

Once the tutorial ends, FarmCapi is all yours. Three things pay off early:

  • Get the 2 eggs for the order. With one hen, you need to feed her again and wait 10 minutes per egg. Feed is in the Shop, Animals & feed tab, at 2 coins each.
  • Plant radishes in every empty plot. In the current version, radishes are ready in 1 minute if you water at each stage. You start with 12 seeds, 100 coins, 5 gems and 60 water in the well, which refills by 1 every 20 seconds.
  • Check your Quests. The first ones ask for things you're already doing (plant 3 radishes, for example) and pay coins and XP.

After that, the natural order is carrots at level 2, tomatoes at level 3 and the Windmill at level 4. What each level brings is in levels.

Frequently asked questions

How long is FarmCapi's guided start?

About 10 minutes. Capi walks you from your first harvest to a chick in the incubator and an order on its way; after that, you're free to play however you like.

Can I skip the tutorial?

Yes. The "Skip tutorial" button jumps to the end: coop fixed, hen named, egg in the incubator and the first order scheduled.

What if I close the game halfway through?

You pick up exactly where you left off. Your place in the tutorial is saved with your farm.

What if I don't have enough radishes to fix the coop?

You won't get stuck. The repair costs 6 radishes, and if you're short, Granny Coti lets you pay later.
