What Is the Thanksgiving Challenge Event

You are hosting a Thanksgiving dinner and must prepare meals for multiple forest guests. These guests reward you for your efforts but come with their own personalities and demands.

The challenge sounds simple, but there is a twist.

• Your guests are extremely picky
• Turkeys are tricky to locate
• You will be under time pressure
• Night creatures may disrupt your tasks

Players must balance cooking, gathering, exploring, and surviving the forest while ensuring every guest gets the food they want.
