In order to have access to the DreamSnaps, you must first unlock Vanellope. After you reach level 5, and get Scrooge’s first quests done, you will get a prompt on your screen to go talk to him. Follow his quest “The Haunting of Dreamlight Valley” and Vanellope will walk you through the initial how-to of the DreamSnaps. Once you finish her quest, you’ll see a new event in your Event Tab. That will give you the theme for the current challenge. You can opt out if you decide this isn’t for you (but really, free moonstones!).
But how do you know what you have that counts for the theme? Gameloft very helpfully gave us a new filter that you can turn on in both furniture and clothing inventories. The filter will only show up in clothing if it’s a clothing challenge and furniture if it’s a decor challenge, so if you don’t see the filter, check the other tab. It will filter items down to what the tags are for the challenge. If you have some items but need more of an item (for example, you have a coin-op machine but want two), you can go to Scrooge’s and order more, up to 25 items, from his catalog. Make sure that you have no custom (touch of magic) items anywhere on your person or in the room, even if you can’t see them (like a tank top under another shirt), or else it won’t let you submit the picture for DreamSnaps.
Once you get your space set up or your clothing on, take the picture and then you can press the corresponding button for your platform that will show you how many required items you need and how many you have, so that you can keep track. Even with outfit challenges, people tend to vote for a whole picture (and if it’s decor, make your clothing match!), so make ‘em the best that you can with what you have! If you want to review what you submitted, you can do that at any time from the event page.Voting: Every Wednesday at <t:1689771600:t>, the challenge will reset with a new theme. At the same time, voting will open for the previous challenge, as all entries will now be available. You get moonstones for participating (300 stones), for voting (up to 50, although you can vote without reward too!), and for your placement on the leaderboard. There is no public leaderboard, you’ll just get notified in your mailbox each week.
Below you’ll see some images and helpful resources that other community members have made to help you with this process. If you ever encounter any issues, please feel free to come to #dreamlight-help where we can assist you.
