There’s a new little storage box on your plot for the Winter Frost Season week 4 — the Collector’s Challenge. I found it tucked into the Fashion Activity tab and it’s an easy way to earn Fashion Wave tokens, cute seasonal items, and a limited-time animal. Below I’ll walk you through how the collector box works, where to find and feed the penguins, and every pink bubble location for 24–28 February so you can snag all the rewards this week.
Collector’s Challenge: What it is and where to find it
The Collector’s Challenge sits at the end of the Fashion Activity list under the name Collector’s Challenge. Its instructions are simple: fill the collection box in your front home, participate in challenges and complete quests to earn limited-time rewards.
Open the box by walking up to it and pressing the interact button. The box shows three item slots and tells you exactly what to submit. Common examples I saw were requests for pancakes, poppies and radishes. Each slot lists the required quantity and usually accepts a specific group of items, so check the prompt before submitting.
Rewards to expect
Filling the box grants Fashion Wave tokens and seasonal cosmetics. So far the week 4 rewards include 150 and 500 Fashion Wave tokens and a snowflake plush ear muff cosmetic. More items will be added when week 5 of Winter Frost Season opens.
Tip: submit items you’ve already gathered from gardening, cooking or events to speed through the collector box. If you can’t access certain crops on an alt, trade or transfer items between accounts where allowed so you don’t miss the rewards.
Limited-time Penguin Animal — location, interactions and foods
A limited-time penguin animal has appeared near the Old Sea, close to the concert area. You can interact with it, feed it and level it up over the next 20 days to earn the animal statue reward.
Feed the penguin at the marked feeding spot nearby. It already left me a present shortly after interacting — they’re generous little companions. To level them up, feed the fish they love:
- Sardines
- Common prawns
- False scot
You have a full 20 days to interact and level the penguin, so there’s no need to panic. Make sure to feed frequently to unlock the statue before they leave.
All Pink Bubble Locations (24 February – 28 February)
Pink bubbles containing presents float around the map this week. Here are the 15 locations and quick tips for grabbing each one. I’ve listed the general spot and the easiest approach where possible.
-
Stone Cliff — by a tree; jump on the nearby rock and grab it.
-
Stone Cliff — a second spot where the bubble floats back and forth near the cliffs.
-
Onaw Mountain bus stop — floats just above the water by the bus stop.
- The Ruins — between trees close to the ruin area; grab as it drifts through.
- Rosie River — floating across the bridge; time your jump to meet it mid-crossing.
-
Whale Mountain — sits on a rock near the air balloon and the Valentine gazebo; jump from the ledge.
- Tree area above Whale Mountain — head up toward the tree and catch it as it circles.
-
Plot One — right above the swings; a short jump will get it.
- Suburbs bridge — near the NPC, floating up and down on the bridge; jump from the walkway.
-
Tricky upper ledge — slightly awkward to reach; you can use a vehicle or go up the side boat to climb higher, then jump down to grab it.
- Behind a building — tucked behind a house in the area; move around the structure to find it.
-
East Pier, Fishing Village — floating back and forth along the pier area.
-
Jump Puzzle area — on a platform inside the jump puzzle; you’ll need to cross the gaps to reach it.
- Tent area — near a small tent spot close to the shore; the bubble hovers low so it’s easy to snag.
- Shallow River — right on the bridge; floats steadily across so time a quick hop.
Collect each pink bubble to secure presents and weekly rewards. If a bubble feels tricky, try repositioning your camera or using a small jump boost for a better angle.
Final notes
This week is a great chance to stack Fashion Wave tokens, claim the adorable snowflake ear muff, and level the penguin before it leaves. I’ve been having lots of fun with the seasonal items and the new collectible mechanics — the box makes it nice and clear what to submit, and the penguin is totally worth the attention.
Good luck collecting everything this week. I’ll be back with more Heartopia updates and helpful location guides as new events roll in.
