🦆 Celebrating Rubber Duck Day!

It’s Rubber Duck Day in the Hotel, and we’re marking the occasion with a brand-new, Hotel-wide activity that’ll have you exploring, competing, and quacking to everything in sight.

Start by chatting to your ducks, they’ll reveal a piece of the Duck Hunt map. Once you’ve got your bearings, and the map in your backpack, head out around the Hotel and take part in a range of activities to complete the map. That includes fishing, gardening, diving, BattleBall, Chess, Battleships, Wobble Squabble, and more.

Complete the Duck Hunt map and you’ll earn yourself a shiny Holo Duck.

While you’re at it, make sure you stop by the Library to meet the Hotel’s newest artist, Clea. She’s taken a particular interest in the Holo Duck… and may have something lined up that you’ll want to keep an eye on.

🎣 Introducing Fishing Derby

We’ve added a brand-new competitive game mode to the Hotel: Fishing Derby.

Fishing Derby runs every 4 hours, at 30 minutes past the hour, with a 10-minute registration period followed by a 15-minute Derby. Once it kicks off, it’s all about how many fish you can reel in before time runs out.

During the Derby, you’ll receive periodic updates on how many fish you’ve caught, and once the event ends, you’ll be notified of your final position.

This mode was inspired by Origins COM user BobEC. Soon, you’ll also be able to access Derby details via the Hotel API, letting you track events and see how you stack up against others who enjoy fishing together.
