# How to Start

### 🚀 Step 1: Create Your Account

Head over to [**sunflower-land.com/play**](https://sunflower-land.com/play) and click **Create Account**.

You'll be given two ways to start:

* **Google Login (Recommended)**
  * The easiest way for new players — no crypto or wallet required.
  * Just sign in with Google and your farming adventure will begin.
* **Web3 Wallet (Advanced)**
  * Sign in with MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Ronin, Sequence, Farcaster or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet.
  * Recommended for experienced players who already use crypto.

You do **not** need a wallet or any cryptocurrency to play. A wallet is only required later if you want to deposit, withdraw or trade on-chain assets.
{% endhint %}

### 🌱 Step 2: Start Playing

Once your account is created, you can jump right into farming!\
Follow the in-game tutorial and let **Pumpkin Pete** guide you through your first crops.

Your new farm comes with everything you need to get going:

* A small island with **3 land expansions** ready to grow
* A **Town Center, Market & Workbench**
* **10 Axes** to start chopping, plus a welcome bundle of **Gems** 💎

From there, your first loop is simple: **chop trees → plant Sunflowers → complete chores on the Chore Board → deliver goods to NPCs → expand your land.** Cooking meals at the Fire Pit levels up your Bumpkin and unlocks new buildings and activities — see [Levels & Unlocks](/player-guides/levels-and-unlocks.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
🎁 New farmers are offered a one-time discounted **Starter Pack** during their first week — a cheap boost of Gems and Coins if you want a head start.

### :question: Transferring an account?

Sunflower Land accounts are NFTs that can be traded. It is **not recommended** to purchase and use someone else's farm - the account may be banned and/or items removed. See our [Prohibited Conduct & Bans policy](/support/terms-of-service/prohibited-conduct.md) for the full rules on account transfers, sharing and multi-accounting.
