EverWing 101: How to play, bonus tips, and why everyone’s playing it

With Facebook Messenger’s worldwide launch of no-download “Instant Games” early this May, Facebook users have been flocking to this app instead of the App Store to try out fun games. Among the numerous mobile games to choose from, one that definitely stood out was Blackstorm Labs’ EverWing. 

This has already been out since November 2016 as part of the platform’s hidden games but it only received much attention this year as Facebook Messenger’s games were rolled out. In case you haven’t tried it yet, just follow these steps:

Via MOBILE:

  1. Make sure your device is running on iOS8 for Apple and Android Lollipop for Android or higher.
  2. Download the Facebook Messenger App via App Store or Google Play Store.
  3. Open Messenger directly (Note that it’s not accessible via chat heads).
  4. Press the game controller icon at the lower right portion of the app. This will direct you to a page showing latest releases and games that your friends are playing.
  5. Click on EverWing and enjoy!

Via DESKTOP:

  1. Open your Facebook page via the browser of your choice.
  2. Open Messenger found at the upper left area of Facebook’s News Feed.
  3. Click on any chat group or conversation.
  4. Click the game controller icon at the right side of the text field.
  5. Open EverWing and play it in portrait mode, similar to the view you get via mobile.

EverWing is an arcade shooter where you need to raid dragons and bosses, loot as much treasure as you can, upgrade fairies, and buy dragons for the sake of survival. It’s only a never-ending wave of dragons and fireballs but you’ll never find contentment until your top score becomes unbeatable and you’re hogging the first place bonus in all your chat groups.

The rules of the game are pretty simple: Swipe your thumb (or any finger) to control your fairy and sidekicks as they automatically spew magical dragon-slaying shots. They only move sideways so you have to avoid fireballs and dragons you weren’t able to kill in order to keep your score running. Of course you have to do this while collecting coins and power-ups to keep up with the game. Sounds easy? There are boss creatures at the end of every wave and everything speeds up!

To gain bonus coins, trophies, and dragons, it would be best if you raid bosses with your friends by launching the game via group chat. Enable this option by following these 3 easy steps:

  1. Create a group chat with friends who are also playing EverWing.
  2. Open the group chat and click on the plus (+) sign at the lower left part of the screen.
  3. Click on ‘Games’ which has a game controller icon.
  4. Select EverWing from the list.
  5. Once it’s open, click ‘Boss Raids’ at the upper left portion of EverWing’s landing page.

To help your dragons level up and to earn more coins, let your other fairies finish Quests for you:

  1. Buy fairies and upgrade them as much as you want.
  2. Click on ‘Quests’ found at the upper right portion of the landing page.
  3. Assign a fairy and two low-level sidekicks on each Quest.
  4. Wait for each Quest to finish and deploy them again.

Tip: EverWing sends notifications via Facebook Messenger whenever a Quest is over. You can click ‘Claim and Resend’ even while you’re on data mode. 

You’ll never know how competitive you and your friends are until you’ve tried this game.

The downside: You can’t play this game and other Instant Games if you’re not connected via WiFi. It’s not yet available for data users but we do hope they release an update and make this possible.

UPDATE: You can now play this game using your mobile data! However, it might be best to ensure that you’re on 4G since we’ve heard that there are still a few who can’t access it with 800MB data.

  1. I want to find out more information about the power ups what the gems and mushrooms and that kind of stuff do. Is there information available that explains all the in and outs to this

    1. Thanks for getting in touch! Gems give you more coins (10, 20, or 40 – depending on the color that you catch). Mushrooms can double the width of your attack, clovers help level up the damage you make, and flowers help speed up your journey towards the boss. You’re practically invincible after you catch a flower. Hope this helps! Good luck!!

  2. There are a couple of intriguing points on time here but I do not know if these center to heart. There may be some validity but Let me take hold opinion until I take a look at it further. Good article , thanks so we want much more! Added onto FeedBurner as well

  3. Did you know if the zodiac signs on the dragons are matched correctly you get a zodiac bonus. Which makes the power of your dragon stronger then just matching it with another dragon.
