Buying More Plays
After you use your last available play at Inn Love, you will have the option to purchase an additional play for 5 Gems. Purchasing an additional play is entirely optional and you will still receive your 5 free plays every 12 hours as usual.
Golden Chests
Sometimes mini-games contain a Golden Chest that will provide special rewards. You'll always have a small chance to find a Golden Chest when playing games, but buying an additional play gives a 100% chance of a Golden Chest appearing on your next turn. Please note that this only guarantees that the chest will appear, and not that you will be able to win the chest.
Tidal Timekeeper
The Tidal Timekeeper rewards you for each day you play during the event. Earn free Flowers and even dragons!
Check in each day for magical rewards and special surprises!
If you miss a day, don’t worry, you can spend a few gems to catch up. You cannot collect a day’s reward in advance.
You only have to login to DragonVale each day to be eligible for the reward. If you login, but forget to visit the Tidal Timekeeper, your reward will still be available to collect the next time you visit.
Coastline Colosseum
Similar to cooperative breeding, you can team up with friends’ dragons to compete in challenges and win Flowers!
- Challenges will last six hours each.
- Choose the best dragons for the challenge by matching your dragon's elements to the elements of the current challenge.
Gardenia
Each day the lovely Gardenia will be walking around in your park! You will know when she’s there, once you see the pink border around the Visitors icon.
Evolving Dragons
Certain dragons can only be obtained by transforming existing dragons in your park. To summon one of these dragons, you'll need to obtain the unique decorations required for the desired dragon.
How to Evolve a Dragon
If you've collected the required decorations, and have the necessary base dragon in your park, you can evolve that dragon using the steps below. The base dragon that you need to evolve can be found in the in-game breeding hints, accessed by tapping on a breeding area, then tapping the "breeding hints" icon.
- Make sure you have the necessary decorations placed in your park and not in your gifts menu.
- Locate the dragon you wish to evolve and tap on it.
- Tap the "Evolve" icon at the bottom of the dragon's info card.
- In the pop up menu, tap to select the type of dragon you wish to evolve to, then tap the confirm button.
- Tap the "Evolve" button to transform your dragon. Please note that evolving a dragon will cost Flowers.
It is important to note that when you transform one of your dragons it will evolve into a new dragon, and the original dragon will no longer be available in your park. Please keep this in mind if you only have one of the dragons you wish to evolve.
Dragon Donation
The surface lands are wild and untamed and Noel dePlante will need the protection of dragons that you breed and donate. Some requests will ask for a specific dragon, and others will simply require any dragon with the requested element.
Please note: Dragons that you donate to the Donation Deck will not be returned and you can only donate newly-hatched dragons.
To fill a donation:
- Tap on the Donation Deck
- Tap the "Donation" icon at the bottom of the screen
- Tap a space to view the request and reward for completing that space.
- Breed the required dragon, then tap the "Donate" icon after hatching the new dragon.
- If you aren't able to breed a requested dragon, you can use Gems to fill the request instead.
You will earn Flowers for each donation request you fill. Completing an entire line of requests will provide even more Flowers, and filling the entire donation request will earn you the most Flowers. You can complete up to 5 donation cards per day.

Why am I not receiving Flowers when I collect from my habitats?
If you are no longer earning any Flowers when you collect from habitats, that would indicate that you have reached your habitat limit for the day.
Why didn't I win the Golden Chest when I bought an additional play at Aquatic Arcade?
Buying an additional play guarantees that a Golden Chest will appear as one of the possible prizes in that round, but does not guarantee that you will be able to win it. Please note that in Name that Dragon you must answer correctly before the timer expires in order to win the Golden Chest.
When does Valentides end?
The Valentides event runs through March 9th, and concludes on March 10th at 2:00 PM UTC. It will not be possible to earn additional Flowers after this time, but the Beachside Bungalow will remain open for two additional days so you can spend any leftover Flowers you may have.
When does the Beachside Bungalow close?
The Beachside Bungalow will close on March 12th at 2:00 PM UTC and it will not be possible to claim event prizes after this time.
What happens to my leftover Flowers at the end of Valentides?
After Valentides closes, we'll turn any leftover Flowers into DragonCash at the rate of 1,000 DragonCash per 1 Flower.
Why did the theme and time of day in my park change?
With each event there is an accompanying theme, and depending on that, the time of day in your park will also be affected. The theme can be changed manually with the Twilight Tower building at any time, but the theme will revert back to normal day and night cycles when the event ends. You can easily tell what time of day is set by the active theme by checking if any lamps or other decorations that respond to time are active.
What is the skybox theme with the current event?
For the duration of Valentides, the theme of the event is the Paradise theme, which is a day theme. It will go back to day and night cycles after the event, but this can also be manually changed from the Twilight Tower at any time.

During Valentides, the lovely Gardenia is the clickable NPC in your park. Find her and tap on her for extra Flowers!

Only newly-hatched dragons can be donated to the Donation Deck.
