FarmVille Sneak Peek: Alaska Home, Visitor Center, Bear Fishing, Bald Eagle & More

Today has been fantastic for those looking for unreleased items in FarmVille. This latest edition of the FarmVille Sneak Peek not only offers us a look at some Alaskan (or perhaps general Winter-themed) buildings, but also some new animals, decorations, and even a clue as to what the next Mystery Game will contain.

As for the new buildings, we see and "Alaska Home," and a "Log Cabin Visitor Center." The names for both of these items seem a bit shaky, and there are no guarantees that that's what they'll actually be called, or if they'll even ultimately be released officially in the game.

There are a few decorative items to speak of as well, like the Bear Fishing item (a bear standing next to a stream, apparently trying to catch a salmon swimming upstream), a Snowy Bridge, a Snowy Tree, and a Totem Pole 2 (not to be confused with the first Totem Pole which was released just a few days ago).

Two unreleased animals are the Bald Eagle and the Eagle Owl, but we're not sure as to whether or not these will be true animals (that is, capable of being harvested for a profit), or whether they'll be "decorative" animals. Regardless, having a Bald Eagle on your farm would simply be awesome, so I'll take the item either way.

Finally, this week's Mystery Game will apparently contain the Siberian Tiger Cub that we brought you a sneak peek of earlier today, as it is the animal pictured in the Mystery Game icon that will apparently be released this week.

As usual, there aren't any other details concerning these items, like their prices (please, Zynga, make some of them for coins) or when they'll officially be released, so keep checking back with us, as we'll make sure you're the first to know when any of these items launch in the game.

FarmVille Mystery Game (10/30/11): Halloween items take a final stand

With tonight's FarmVille Mystery Game, it looks like we've seen the last set of Halloween items released in the game (after all, the store has now been taken over by Fairy Hollow / Butterfly items). You'll have a chance to win both decorations and animals in this apparently final Halloween-themed Mystery Game, with a single dart costing 16 Farm Cash. There are two horses available here, so that's a fairly cheap price, all things considered (I would have easily guessed the darts to cost 20 Farm Cash or more).

Here's the list of six items you can win in this week's game by throwing darts:

Eerie Bridge
Fire Skeleton Horse
Headless Horseman
Nightmare Mini Pegasus
Pirate Goat
Vampire Gnome

As usual, there's another Bonus Prize being offered here, if you're willing to spend enough Farm Cash to win all six "normal" prizes. Do that and you'll walk away with the Gnome O Lantern - a garden gnome sticking his head out of a Jack-O-Lantern. Just remember, even if you really want this seventh bonus prize, you're not guaranteed to win all six individual prizes on the first six darts you throw, so you could wind up spending much more Farm Cash just to receive duplicates.

Either way, you've got a week to throw darts at this week's board, before these Halloween-themed items are packed away, potentially to never be seen again (granted, I'm sure a lot of them will come back next year, but there is no true guarantee). Good luck receiving the specific items you want!

Check out the rest of our Halloween coverage right here.

FarmVille Mystery Game (09/18/11): Livestock animals come to the farm

In tonight's FarmVille update, we see a new round of animals hit the Mystery Game, with this week's theme (understandably) revolving around the new Livestock Pen released just last week. That means that for the price of 20 Farm Cash per dart, you can play this week's game to walk away with six (potentially seven) animals that can be stored, and subsequently bred (if you're lucky) inside that very Livestock Pen.

Here's the rundown of this week's animals:

Arapawa Island Pig
Barbados Sheep
Berkshire Pig
Dutch Landrace Goat
Girgentana Goat
Valais Goat

While you're not guaranteed to receive all six of these animals in the first six darts you throw, keep in mind that if you can manage to "win" all six during this week's game (again, that will be an incredibly pricey endeavor, even if you're really lucky), you'll walk away with a seventh, free prize: the Clun Forest Sheep.

Remember, these animals will only be around a single week. Whether or not they'll ever be re-released is anyone's guess (although, I will admit the possibility is likely), so if you don't want to wait to see if that possibility comes true, make sure to try your hand at this week's Mystery Game while you can.
