The Snowman Challenge is a hidden Christmas side quest added during the Snow Biome update in 99 Nights in the Forest.
While it looks simple on the surface, the game does not give clear instructions, which causes many players to miss it entirely.
Completing this challenge rewards you with exclusive badges, premium currency, and furniture, making it well worth doing during the Christmas event.
This guide explains exactly how to complete the Snowman Challenge, where to find the sad snowman, what items you need, and all rewards you receive.
What Is the Snowman Challenge in 99 Nights in the Forest
The Snowman Challenge is a secret interaction quest that can be completed while exploring the Snow Biome.
Instead of combat or survival objectives, this challenge focuses on observation and item usage.
The goal is simple:
-
Find a sad snowman missing its nose
-
Give it a carrot
-
Trigger the hidden reward event
However, the game never marks this quest on the map or in objectives.
Step 1 Find a Carrot
Before heading deep into the Snow Biome, you should secure at least one carrot, preferably more.
Ways to Get a Carrot
You have two reliable options:
Foraging
-
Carrots randomly spawn across the forest
-
Explore grassy or snowy areas carefully
Farming
-
Purchase a Seed Box
-
Plant carrots at your base
-
Harvest when grown
Important Tip
Carry multiple carrots if possible.
Carrots can be:
-
Dropped accidentally
-
Consumed during combat
-
Lost during Polar Bear encounters
Step 2 Reach the Sad Snowman
Once you have a carrot, head to the Snow Biome.
Where to Look
-
The Snow Biome is located deeper into the forest
-
Avoid traveling too close to:
-
Cultist camps
-
Ice Temple areas
-
While there are many snowmen in the biome, only one is correct.
How to Identify the Correct Snowman
You are looking for:
-
A snowman missing its carrot nose
-
A frowning or sad facial expression
-
A snowman positioned slightly away from hostile zones
Check each snowman carefully. The correct one is visually distinct once you know what to look for.
Step 3 Attach the Nose to the Snowman
After finding the correct snowman:
-
Open your inventory
-
Equip a carrot
-
Walk up to the sad snowman
-
Interact with it while holding the carrot
What Happens Next
-
The carrot attaches as the snowman’s nose
-
The snowman’s expression changes from sad to happy
-
A reward chest drops instantly at its feet
This confirms that the challenge is complete.

Rewards for Completing the Snowman Challenge
Completing the Snowman Challenge grants multiple rewards at once, including two badges.
Snowman Challenge Rewards
| Reward | Description |
|---|---|
| Cultist Gem | Rare crafting gem used to create legendary weapons |
| Reconstruction Badge | Grants 4 Diamonds, the premium currency |
| Humiliation Badge | 4-star secret badge proving completion of a hidden action |
| Snowman Furniture | Exclusive furniture item for your base |
These rewards are one-time only, but they are permanent once unlocked.
Why the Snowman Challenge Is Worth Doing
Even though it is a small quest, the Snowman Challenge is valuable because:
-
Diamonds are hard to obtain
-
Cultist Gems are used for endgame crafting
-
The Humiliation Badge is a rare secret badge
-
Furniture rewards are event-exclusive
It is one of the lowest-risk, highest-value Christmas challenges in the game.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
-
Going to the Snow Biome without a carrot
-
Confusing normal snowmen with the sad snowman
-
Dropping the carrot before interacting
-
Exploring near cultist camps unnecessarily
Taking a slow and careful approach makes the challenge trivial.
