Adopt Me! February 2024 Update – Lunar New Year Event

In February 2024, Adopt Me! celebrated the Lunar New Year with a beautifully themed event inspired by Korean traditions. The update introduced exclusive pets, two festive minigames, and a new in-game currency called Yakgwa, giving players new ways to earn, explore, and collect.

New Currency and Minigames

During the event, which ran from February 8 to February 22, players earned Yakgwa by playing two engaging minigames:

  • Red Lantern, Green Lantern – A stealth challenge where players collected Rice Cake Soup and delivered it to safe zones while avoiding detection from lantern statues. Golden soup offered bonus Yakgwa points.
  • Launch Kites – Once per in-game day, players could launch up to six kites into the sky, earning a total of 900 Yakgwa daily.

Yakgwa could then be spent on Lunar Gift Boxes and festive items, making gameplay both fun and rewarding. Full event details were documented on the Adopt Me! Wiki.

Exclusive Pets and Items

The 2024 Lunar New Year event introduced several unique pets:

  • Rice Cake Rabbit – Ultra-rare (from Gift Box)
  • Fanghorn Tortoise – Ultra-rare (from Gift Box)
  • Rainbow Dragon – Legendary (from Special Gift Box)
  • Midnight Dragon – Legendary (purchasable for 1,000 Robux)

Other themed content included toys, pet wearables, and the Dragonster vehicle — adding a strong visual flair to the event.

According to Dexerto, this update ranked among the most polished Lunar events in the game’s recent history, offering high replay value and community interaction.
