Check Your Mailbox

Plant the Tree Sprout
Dig a hole and plant the Tree Sprout in your Valley. Water it to watch it grow into a magical glowing tree gateway.
Place the Gateway
Use the furniture menu to place the gateway anywhere in your main Valley or on the base game Floating Islands.
Enter the Woods
Step through the gateway to enter Honeyglow Woods. You will instantly find convenient portals connecting back to Scrooge McDuck's Store and Chez Remy.
The portals linking Honeyglow Woods to Scrooge McDuck's Store and Chez Remy make it incredibly easy to shop, cook, and manage your inventory without long loading screens.
New Biomes and the Everoak Tree
The expansion map features four distinct areas arrayed around a central mystery. Clearing the thick fog and restoring the environment is key to progressing the main storyline.
| Biome Name | Key Features | Primary Activities |
|---|---|---|
| Drowsybloom Acre | Flower-filled meadow | Early exploration, meeting Winnie the Pooh |
| Gloommeadow | Misty, swampy marsh | Playing Pooh Sticks, finding Eeyore |
| Braveheart Grove | Dense, blooming woodland | Pushing through fog, finding Piglet |
| Nectar Apiary | Giant honeycombs | Advanced beekeeping, solving the main mystery |
The Everoak Tree
The central landmark of the woods. You must solve puzzles inside its trunk to mend the land.
Pooh Sticks Bridge
Located in the Gloommeadow. Play this classic mini-game with up to four villagers to build friendships.
Hedgehog Critters
New colorful companions found in the woods. They feature unique poses for Photo Mode.
In the Pooh Sticks mini-game, four participants drop objects from the Gloommeadow bridge. The first object to float to the downstream finish line wins, granting a significant friendship boost.
Beekeeping and Golden Honey Recipes
Beekeeping is the core resource loop introduced in the Honeyglow Woods patch notes. By setting up Busy Bees' Houses, you can generate Golden Honey to cook cozy new dishes and craft themed furniture.

Build Busy Bees' Houses
Progress the story until you unlock the blueprint for the Busy Bees' House.
Plant Flowers Nearby
Place various flowers around the Busy Bees' House. The bees will pollinate them, which also boosts nearby flower growth speeds.

The more diverse the flowers you place around a Busy Bees' House, the faster your Golden Honey production and flower growth cycles will become.
