Share Your Valley Creations

Decoration Presets are getting a major upgrade in Season of Scares, with a brand-new way to share your favorite designs with other Valley Villagers!

You can now create and share your own Presets using code sharing. Simply hover over any of your Presets to generate a unique code that you can give to other Valley Villagers. Codes are valid for 14 days, even if the creator has changed or removed the original Preset.

Looking for a little inspiration? We're also giving you three ready-to-use Decoration Presets inspired by the season, so you can create your very own witchy backyard with just a few clicks! 

Keep an eye on our socials to get the codes, then show us how you make them your own! Once added to your collection, these Presets are yours to use whenever you'd like to celebrate the season. 

New Ways to Decorate Your Valley

With new ways to share your designs, Season of Scares also gives you more freedom to build and refresh your Valley.

More Freedom with Floating Islands

Looking for even more room to bring your ideas to life?

You can now move select characters stalls and some functional buildings around the Valley on Floating Islands, opening up even more possibilities for your Valley layouts. Expansion versions of eligible stalls and buildings can also be moved to their corresponding expansion’s Floating Island. Check out the latest Patch Notes  for the full list of buildings and stalls that can be placed on Floating Islands.

Clear Biomes Instantly

Ever wanted to redecorate a Biome without having to remove everything piece by piece?

The new Clear Biome feature lets you quickly remove Furniture, Landscaping, Fences, and Paths from a Biome or Sub-Biome. Choose exactly what you want to clear, and if you change your mind, you can undo your changes before saving.

We're also expanding Biome-specific crafting with a new collection of witchy furniture inspired by the Forest of Valor.

Introducing the Event Board

With so much happening around the Valley, it can be tricky to keep track of it all. That's where the new Event Board comes in!

The Astronomer's Journey Star Path is a permanent introductory Star Path available to all players. After unlocking your first Realm and speaking with Merlin, you’ll begin the Astronomer’s Journey Star Path and be introduced to the new Event Board, which you’ll be asked to place in the Plaza. Complete quests around the Valley at your own pace to unlock special astronomy-inspired rewards. For Apple Arcade players, this will be available in our next free update.

Use the Event Board to keep track of up to three live events without having to search through your Menu, leave messages, and see messages from Valley Visitors. 

Olaf's Grand Exhibition Finale

Olaf's Grand Exhibition reaches its grand finale with two new rooms inspired by the Forgotten Lands and Valley Plaza.

Complete the Exhibition to unlock two new stunning furniture pieces and a Scholarly Fox Companion as a reward for your hard work.

More Ways to Express Yourself

Season of Scares also brings several improvements to Photo Mode and emotes.

Photo Mode Gallery

Your Gallery can now hold up to 12 pictures, while the DreamSnaps Archive lets you browse six months of DreamSnaps. You can also pin up to three favorite entries and share previous entries, with QR codes making it easier to share your favorite creations.

QR codes expire after 7 days, while the DreamSnaps Archive automatically removes the oldest unpinned entries after six months. Gallery contents will be automatically cleared after 180 days of inactivity.

Emote Wheel

Strike a pose anywhere in your Valley with the new Emote Wheel! Use emotes and poses outside of Photo Mode while exploring, decorating, or spending time with your favorite Villagers. Perform emotes around your Villagers  to see how they react, or show off your moves to friends while playing in multiplayer!
