The highly anticipated update to celebrate the one year birthday of Free Realms has finally arrived! Here are the details:
On April 29th Free Realms will be one year old! You can’t have a birthday without a party and we’re having a huge one! Starting today and scheduled to end on May 10th you can help us celebrate!
There are birthday parties across Free Realms. You can find them in Merry Vale, Seaside, Snowhill, Shrouded Glade, Wugachug, Blackspore, Briarwood and Sanctuary. Speak to Camellia near the great tree in Sanctuary to get started.
Camilla and other Sanctuary residents give out multiple quests as well as daily and Members Only quests. Complete them to fun birthday presents. You can get balloon weapons, t-shirts (a different one for each party area), illusions and more.
You will also have to battle Cakenstein, a bizarre cake creature and his cakeling helpers.
There are also fun items for purchase in the Marketplace...
Birthday Crates have everything you need to get the party started
Cakeling and Balloon Animal pets can be purchased individually. The Balloon Pet Pumper can be purchased as well. When placed it gives out trial balloon animal pets for free.
There are eight cakes for sale on the Marketplace that match the eight party areas of the game. They can be placed on the ground anywhere you go. Each one has a different effect when eaten.
Purchase all 8 birthday cakes and you’ll receive a bonus “Boss Cake” for free!
You can find all of this and more by logging into Free Realms today! Thanks for being with us on our first birthday!
