event activities

Scavenger Hunt - Spring is in the air, and as part of the Festival of Life some fun spring items have been hidden around our site! There are six fun new items to collect, hidden around the site, simply click them to claim! Some things to note:

• Hidden items can be found throughout the site, but will not be hidden on character masterlist entries, on member profiles, or on gallery entries!
• Do not share the locations or links to any of the items with others, or give hints to others. This is considered cheating, anyone found doing so will receive a warning
• Please be respectful of other people's experiences when discussing the scavenger hunt, including discussing how "hard" or "easy" a location may be, since everyone will have a different experience!
• Members will get 10 event points per item found, these points can be obtained via Claims, simply submit a claim stating how many you found and staff will verify on the back end
• There will be a special bonus for those who find all six items,  a raffle ticket for our Festival of Life Raffle!

Here are the items you are hunting for:

Happy Hunting! (check your hunt progress HERE!)

Prompts - To celebrate the Festival of Life, there are a few art prompts that members can complete to join the fun! Each prompt will award event points at the same rate as Fairy Coins. The prompts are as follows:

• Depict your fantele/fainara searching for the perfect flower to infuse with magic for the festival
• Depict your fantele/fainara making a flower crown or other flower craft for the festival

“Thank you very much for all your help,” Hector started, softly. “I’m really sorry for all the problems with the escaped dinos! I’m really glad all my dear dinos are back and safe.”

“But, oh my, we have a small problem here,” he continued. “One of those dinos isn’t mine!”

“I’m not really a dino, actually,” the not-dino laughed. “My name is Mushy, I’m a Fainara. Some fantele was really eager for me to enter the petting zoo.”

“I have heard of Fainaras! I can lend some texts about them, for anyone interested,” Hector interjected.

“I’m here to stay, and I brought a few friends. Perhaps you could give them a home?” Mushy showed a bunch of green sparkling mushrooms.

To bring a Fainara home, go to the event shop and buy for 0 points one!

Do you want more Fainaras? You can also offer on a Fainara in this sales post!

Everyone seems to be recieving a mysterious(and rather sparkly) invitation to the re-opened dino island amusement parks, will your fantele friends accept the invite? 

These free tickets can be bought for free(1 per person) in the Event Shop and myo and trait purchases with usd will be half off during this event!
MYO and Trait purchase information

Every entry will count for points that can be exchanged for prizes at the event shop. Any member may participate in this event, even if they don’t have a fantele yet! 

"Here we are, the beautiful Dino Island!" Nebula said, motioning to the place they landed on. "I'm not sure what a dino is but this is one of my favorite islands!"

"A dino is short for dinosaur," Maria answered fast, being met with an even more confused look from Nebula. "Dinos are like dragons but without wings, you know? Some can be big, some small, some even have big necks. I showed some drawings of dinos to you, Nebby."

"Ohh, from your mythical creatures book, I remember it!" Nebula nodded. "So, guys, that's a dino. Learning something new everyday!"

"Welcome to Dino Island!" an old fantele said, a big smile on his face. "Ready to have the most amazing experience of your lives?"
