How to Set Off a Firecracker in Farm Heroes Saga

Firecrackers are special elements available in some levels of Farm Heroes Saga. They are not technically cropsies, but they can help you complete the level when set off. There’s a burning rope attached to each firecracker, and each match you make adjacent to it burns up the rope little by little. When you have made three matches next to it and the end of the rope reaches the firecracker, it will explode and take out random items on the board.

Starting a Level with Firecrackers

 1

Start the game. Farm Heroes Saga can be played online within Facebook, or you can play the game’s mobile app. Launch the game, and hit the “Play” button.

 2

Select the level. From the game map, tap or click the level you want to play. Firecrackers first appear on level 356.

Not all levels after 356 have firecrackers.

3

Find firecrackers. Levels with firecrackers already have them on the board. They appear just like your other cropsies, and they are shaped like a rocket with a rope running around them. Find them on the board, and check and plan for good matches around it.

 Setting Off a Firecracker

 1

Notice the adjacent cropsies. In order to set off a firecracker, you need to make three different matches right next to it. Look at the cropsies surrounding the firecrackers, and plan your moves.

 2

Make the first match. Identify a firecracker you want to set off. It will first appear to be sleeping. Swap cropsies right next to it to make your first match. The cropsies will be removed, and the firecracker will awaken with its rope, or wick, starting to burn.

 3

Make the second match. You don’t need to work on the same firecracker on consecutive moves. You can move cropsies elsewhere. Swap cropsies from the surrounding cropsies to make your second match. The cropsies will be removed, and the firecracker will have its rope or wick burned shorter.

 4

Make the third match. Swap cropsies from the surrounding cropsies to make your third match. The cropsies will be removed, and the firecracker will be set off. It will explode and take out or collect cropsies or elements you need for the level.

5

Continue working on the level. Focus on completing the goals for the level, and use the other firecrackers on the board to help you do that. You don’t need to set off all the firecrackers if they’re not needed.
