The Winter Floating Festival ran from 7 January through 28 January 2026. It is now a historical event, so the festival island is not part of the currently active game events as of 30 September 2026. During its run, players entered through a special Plaza portal or the event tab’s Teleport button, then completed timed puzzles and weekly challenges for exclusive rewards.

When was the Winter Floating Festival available?

Gameloft announced the event in the Winter Ball Update on 10 December 2025, with the live period set for 7–28 January 2026. The event database records the same dates. Because that window has ended, this page is an archive guide rather than instructions for accessing a live island.

How access worked during the event

Plaza portal

A special portal in the Plaza transported players to the seasonal floating island.

Event-tab Teleport button

The general Floating Festival system also provided an event-tab Teleport option. Selecting it sent the player directly to the temporary island.

Floating Festivals are temporary events: the island exists only during its advertised event period. No current reactivation date for the Winter Floating Festival is established here.

What was on the floating island?

The destination was decorated for winter and contained puzzles that unlocked over time. Gameloft advised players to log in regularly because additional puzzles became available during the event. Solving puzzles awarded exclusive in-game items.

For a puzzle-by-puzzle walkthrough, use a community guide that clearly identifies the Winter Floating Festival, covers every puzzle, and explains where each ingredient is found. A video walkthrough is often easiest to follow for timed or location-based steps. Check that any guide states its platform and expansion assumptions, labels spoilers, and separates community-discovered solutions from officially announced details.

Where to find the Festive Cocoa Bean

Festive Cocoa Bean is listed as an event reward. The authoritative event pages used for this guide do not establish a separate ingredient spawn location or a complete collection route, so a precise location should not be treated as confirmed from the official instructions alone. Community walkthroughs may document how it was obtained during the event, but those steps require verification against the specific guide and game version.

Winter Floating Festival rewards

Category Rewards
Clothing Taupe Winter Hat; Printed Winter Leggings; Taupe Winter Coat
Furniture Winter Chocolate Fountain; Dapper Snowman
Ingredient Festive Cocoa Bean
Meals Festive Blueberry Hot Cocoa; Festive Cherry Hot Cocoa; Festive Mint Hot Cocoa

The listed items are the event database’s reward set; no drop rates or completion percentages are established.

Is the Winter Floating Festival still available?

No. Its announced and recorded availability ended on 28 January 2026. As of 30 September 2026, it should be treated as a completed, historical event rather than an island that can be entered through the current event menu. Future reruns or changes would require a new official announcement.
