↖ What You Need to Know About Trading

Trading is a game changer for Grow Garden. Now you can swap items and coins directly with other players.

Here's how it all works:

1. Get Your Trading Tickets

• First, visit the Gear Shop and tap Show me the gear shop.
• Scroll to the trading ticket section. Each ticket costs just one Sheckles, so it's easy to grab a few.

2. Start a Trade

• Find a friend or any other player and send them a trade request.
• When both of you accept, the trade screen will pop up.

3. Swap Gear

• In the trade window, you can offer Sheckles, pets, and most seeds. (Keep in mind you can't trade any favored seeds.)
• The screen will show the value of each item, so you'll always know if the trade is fair.

4. Confirming Trades

• After you drag items into the trade window, you'll wait 5 seconds before the Accept button lights up.
• Both players need to hit Accept to lock the trade in, which helps prevent scammers from getting away with your stuff.

↖ Cooking System and Chris P's Kitchen

This update brings in cooking, so you can whip up chow for Chris P and score cool rewards. Make him meals, and he'll pay you back with goodies that level up your game.

How Cooking Works

Cooking Basics:

• Grab food items from your backpack and dump them in the cooking station.
• Each meal takes 5 minutes to cook, but you can shave time off with Robux.

Feeding Chris P:

• When the meal is done, click on it and pick Try this food I cooked up to serve Chris P.
• How he reacts will tell you what reward tier you hit. His cravings change every hour, so serve the food he's in the mood for to boost the tier.
