Hugs & Hearts Event

The Hugs & Hearts Festival is an Event in Hello Kitty Island Adventure and the tenth event to occur in-game. It was preceded by and runs concurrently with the Luck & Lantern Festival event. The Celebration Stand and collectible event currency are located in Seaside Resort. The event does require having a Net, which requires having done the "Open the Nature Preserve" quest. The event originally ran from February 8, 2024, until the end of February 20, 2024.

The Hugs & Hearts event will be available annually from February 8th to February 20th.

Overview

The main purpose of this event is to catch Lovebugs. A mysterious new critter — the Lovebug — has arrived! Catch this charming creature that only hatches at this time of the year. Place lovebugs in the Hugs & Hearts Habitat event stand to obtain heartfelt rewards throughout the festival. As seen in the Collection Goals for the event, there are 15 different items you can collect for this event.

Event Quest

The event begins with the "Curious Critter" quest. Chococat, My Melody, and Badtz-maru participate in the quest.

At the Hugs & Hearts Habitat event stand, Chococat asks the player to investigate the presence of a new critter in Seaside Resort by catching one. Once the player shows a Lovebug to Chococat, he, My Melody, and Badtz-maru discuss his find and say that it is time for the Hugs & Hearts Festival. Then, Chococat asks the player to place any Lovebugs they find into the habitat.

Lovebugs

The player can catch a Lovebug around the Seaside Resort with a Net. The Lovebug can then be placed in the Hugs & Hearts Habitat event stand, where it will turn into a chrysalis.

The player can collect 1 Lovebug per day.

A few days before the end of the event, the chrysalis hatch into Heartwings, which float around the island. At the end of the event, Keroppi informs the player that one of the Heartwings loved the island so much that they would like to stay, and he gives the player a Heartwing.

Hugs & Heart Habitat (Event Stand)

The Hugs & Hearts Habitat event stand.

The outdoors Hugs & Hearts Habitat is the event stand for the Hugs & Hearts Festival. When a Lovebug is placed in it, the player receives their choice of event furniture. (Because it behaves like an event stand, Tuxedosam's Negotiator ability to possibly double a purchase does apply.)

The Hugs & Hearts Habitat protects the Lovebug chrysalises for the duration of the festival. When the festival ends, it is time for the Lovebugs to hatch from their chrysalises.
