MORPH 4U/Picnics n Plushies

Picnics n Plushies (formerly In The Hills) is a hangout and building experience created by , uploaded on their primary group . In this experience, players can relax, collect plushies, decorate a picnic blanket, or build a cottage.
It was first announced in April 2023, and beta testing began by June 2023. The experience was officially released on August 15, 2023. It was rebranded into Picnics n Plushies on July 29, 2024.
== Gameplay ==
*Players own a blanket, which they can place on any flat ground. This blanket can be decorated with a variety of items, such as food, decor and furniture.
*Cottages can be rented, which allow for more extensive decorating and building than blankets offer. Renting costs 500 cash per session.
*Cash (or leaves), is the main currency of the game, and is used to buy items from the shop. Cash can be earned by hunting for boxes scattered around the map. Daily rewards and the prize wheel also give cash.
*Boxes have a small chance of containing a rare item, which cannot be bought from the shop. There is an even smaller chance to obtain a 'Wish' from a box, which lets the player pick any rare item they want. The prize wheel also contains rare items.
*Likes can be given to other player's blankets/cottages, by walking onto them and clicking the heart button. Players can give 30 likes per day.
*The time of day can be changed to day, sunset, rainy or night using a button on the left. Emotes such as sitting or lying down can be used too.
*Fishing can be done by using a fishing rod, which costs 10,000 cash. Fish obtained from fishing can be sold to the fisherman for cash.
== Plushies ==
Plushies are soft cuddly toys which players can collect, and are a titular feature of the game. Players can use plushies as decorations for their blankets/cottages, or hold them physically. Most plushies can be found in boxes, some of which are exclusive during seasons/events.
