• Big Flowers bloomed into pansies when regular flowers were planted around them.
  • This effect started the day before and continued throughout the weekend.
• Users who walked 10,000 steps or more earned a special Community Day Participant badge.
• Fruits gave twice the nectar.
• Seedlings in the Planter Pack grew at 1.5 times the normal speed.
  • To have received this badge, players needed to log in to the game at least once in the 2 weeks after the event.

This event was announced on November 4^th, 2021, just 9 days after the game's global release.

This made the regular step counter inaccessible. Following the event, challenges gave poinsettia nectar instead of pansy nectar.
