The game
A farm that behaves like a real one
Farm work takes time, the weather changes from season to season and every crop needs its own care. You hire workers, buy seed and inputs, fence your land and sell what you grow at the region's market.
The decisions are yours, and the results follow from them: a field watered and weeded on time yields well; a field left alone does not.
- Three farming regionsNsukka, Biase and Techiman, each with its own market
- Seven crops, level by levelFrom maize to hot pepper, each grown and cared for its own way
- Workers you can watchEvery job is done on the field in 3D, from planting to digging roots
- Lessons when they matterEducation Mode explains each step, with its sources
How it works
How a season works
-
Step 1
Choose your land
Pick a plot on real open farmland, read its soil and water, and make it yours.
-
Step 2
Prepare and plant
Clear and prepare a field by hand or with a hired tractor, then plant the crop that suits the season.
-
Step 3
Care for the crop
Water, weed, feed and protect the crop, and give it the care step it needs at the right stage.
-
Step 4
Harvest and sell
Harvest the crop, keep the produce in your store and sell it to the buyers at the market.
Crops and levels
New crops as you grow
Every farmer starts with maize. Each level opens new crops, and from level 3 each new crop brings a care step of its own.
-
Level 1
Every farmer starts here: prepare, plant, water, weed, harvest and sell.
-
Level 2
Fast vegetables, picked or cut more than once.
Amaranth
Leafy stems cut and tied in bunches, sold fresh.
Okra
Young green pods with five ridges, picked before they turn woody; inside are rows of white seeds.
-
Level 3
Root crops, dug by hand a part at a time.
Cassava
Long roots with rough brown skin; under the peel the flesh is white and starchy.
Sweet potato
Spindle-shaped roots with red skin; inside, the flesh is cream.
-
Level 4
A vine that has to be staked and trained.
Cucumber
Dark green fruit picked young; inside, the flesh is pale with soft seeds.
-
Level 5
Picked again and again as the fruit turns red.
Hot pepper
Long, slender chilies picked when red; green ones are left on the plant to ripen.
Produce pictures are made in the game. Many people have never seen what a cassava root or an okra pod looks like before it reaches the market. The game shows the produce of every crop before you plant it, in your store and when you sell.
Crop care
Every crop has its own care
Real crops are not all looked after the same way, and neither are the crops in the game. You see your workers do each job on the field, and you see what happens when it is done late or not at all.
- Cucumber Stake the vines, then pinch and prune If it is skipped: vines sprawl on the ground; fruit lying on wet soil rots and grows bent.
- Hot pepper Earth up and stake If it is skipped: plants fall over under their fruit, and fruit lying on the soil rots.
- Cassava Pull out mosaic plants If it is skipped: whiteflies spread the disease, and sick plants make small roots.
- Sweet potato Hill up the ridges If it is skipped: weevils get into the roots through cracks in the ridges.

Education Mode
Learn as you play
Turn on Education Mode for short lessons at the moment they matter: after you water, before you plant, when the crop is ready.
Lessons draw on published farming guides, including those of IITA, NAERLS and the International Potato Center (CIP), and name their sources.

The world
A world to farm in
Farms sit on real open farmland in three regions, each with its own market, buyers and prices. Trucks carry produce to market, roaming cattle test your fences, and other players farm nearby, visit each other's farms and take on jobs.

Farm Credits are game money
Everything in the game is paid for in Farm Credits (FC). Farm Credits are game credits only: they cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for money.
Qimo Farm World is separate from the Qimo Farms estates and Farm Plans. Nothing in the game is an offer, and nothing that happens in it says anything about a real farm's results.
