As a dedicated player of Infinity Nikki, I was absolutely thrilled when the New Horizons Day event launched with the 1.2 update in early 2025. 🎈 The whole experience revolves around celebrating with hot air balloons soaring over Wishfield, bringing a fresh wave of challenges and festive fun. From the moment I logged in, the vibrant atmosphere captivated me; the colorful outfits, the bustling crowds, and the promise of diamonds, blings, and exclusive rewards like the Skyward Voyager title made my heart race with excitement. I couldn't wait to dive into the Leisurely Tales, Encounters, and more, all designed to make this month-long event unforgettable. With Alison's Travel Shop now available since February 14, 2025, and daily challenges adding layers of depth, I found myself immersed for hours, savoring every moment. Personally, the hot air balloon rides felt liberating—I soared above Florawish, taking in panoramic views that reminded me why I love this game; the gentle breeze and the distant chatter of NPCs like Elea and Viliak created a sense of community I hadn't felt in other events.

Leisurely Tales: Epic Quests for Grand Rewards

Floating high above Wishfield in the balloons gave me a new perspective, literally and figuratively. my-journey-through-infinity-nikki-s-new-horizons-day-image-0 I started with Floating Report, chatting with Elea at Florawish Wharf. The quest steps flowed naturally: heading west to find Polly, visiting the Bug Cabin in Breezy Meadow to speak with Merian, and returning the notes. The balloon ride finale was my favorite part—I felt a rush of adrenaline as I ascended, rewarded with 40 diamonds and the Skyward Voyager title. 💎 Here's a quick reference table for all tales, based on my playthrough:

Overall, these encounters added spontaneity to my daily routine, making me smile with their lighthearted nature.

Alison's Travel Shop: Crafting and Rewards Galore

Since February 14, 2025, I've been visiting Alison daily outside the Meadow Activity Support Center, near the warp spire. Her traveling suitcase is a treasure trove! As a merchant, she trades crafting materials for glittering rewards, and I've spent hours gathering items like Woolfruit and Buttoncone. It felt like a real adventure, scouring Wishfield for rare finds. Below is the exchange schedule I followed, based on her daily requests:

Day Materials Needed Rewards
1 Woolfruit (2) Revelation Crystal
2 Buttoncone, Daisy Glitter Bubbles: Fresh (120)
3 Blastpollen (2), Lampchili Revelation Crystal (2)
4 Woolfruit, Starlight Scallop Glitter Bubbles: Sweet (120)
5 Buttoncone, Daisy Glitter Bubbles: Fresh (180)
6 Pearly Shell (2), Lampchili Glitter Bubbles: Sweet (180)
7 Blastpollen (2), Lampbloom Revelation Crystal (2)

Subjectively, this was a highlight—collecting materials felt rewarding and immersive. On Day 3, I struggled to find Blastpollen, but the hunt paid off with those Revelation Crystals. The sense of progression kept me hooked, and I recommend prioritizing this shop for easy gains.

Bright Moments Rewards: Challenges for the Dedicated

The Bright Moments challenges tested my skills, but the payoff was immense. I tackled them systematically, starting with Day 1's tasks: completing world quests, upgrading clothing levels, crafting Light of Dawn, and making fireworks. Each day brought new hurdles, like riding my Whimcycle for 1,000 meters or earning stars in the Mira Crown contest. 💥 The rewards, centered on Fragrant Bouquets, could be exchanged for fantastic items. Here's the tiered reward system I utilized:

Bouquets Required Rewards
