List
The following is a list of events by year.
2021
First Community Day
Community Day was the first public event for Pikmin Bloom. It was announced on November 4th, 2021,[1] just 9 days after the game's global release. It occurred on November 13th and was set to run from 9:00am to 6:00pm local time, however, due to network issues making players unable to access the game, it was extended to run to 8:00pm.[2] During this period, there was a number of rewards and boosts that players could get:
- Seedlings in the Planter Pack grew at 1.5 times the normal speed.
- Fruits gave twice the nectar.
- Big Flowers bloomed into pansies, and flower planting with pansies made them bloom into roses.
- 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.
- To have received this badge, players must have logged in to the game at least once in the 2 weeks after the event.[3]
Second Community Day
The second public event of Pikmin Bloom is also a Community Day. It was announced on December 2nd, 2021,[4][5] and is set to occur on December 18th.[6] Unlike the first Community Day, this one will last for the full day. For the effects of this event to work properly, the app needs to be updated to at least version 36.0. Rewards and boosts for participating in this event include:
- Higher chances of Big Flowers blooming into poinsettias when regular blue, red, yellow, or white petals are planted around them.
- Players achieving the 10,000 step goal on this day will be awarded a special poinsettia flower badge.
- Seedlings in the Planter Pack will grow at 1.5 times the usual speed. This effect can be stacked with the flower planting multiplier.
