DreamSnaps

**DreamSnaps** - a fun new competitive game mode where you can unleash your creativity each week in a variety of ever-changing challenges.

Every week, DreamSnaps will feature a new theme that you have to either dress or decorate for, granting you additional Pixel Dust that will unlock rewards as you continue to participate.

## How to get started

In order to have access to the DreamSnaps, you must first unlock Vanellope. To unlock her, you must have Merlin’s level 5 quest completed, and then go talk to Scrooge. After talking with him go to the Dream Castle, where you will meet Vanellope.

Vanellope will give you a training quest that will introduce you to the mechanics of the event and open access to the weekly challenge.

## How DreamSnaps Works

Every Wednesday at 1PM UTC, a new challenge will await you in the Event tab of the Menu. You’ll find a brief description of the challenge theme, and whether you need to use Furniture or Clothing to complete it. Take note of the mandatory and suggested item tags – these will be important factors to keep in mind for your final challenge score! Your final challenge score will determine the Pixel Dust amount you receive – which will in-turn help you level up on the DreamSnaps level track – unlocking a variety of rewards, including clothing, furniture, and even Moonstones.

In addition to checking on the active challenge requirements in the Menu, you can also find them while in Photo Mode where you’ll be doing the challenge’s heavy lifting. Take a photo so that the "Show DreamSnaps" button appears.

If your photo does not meet the requirements for that week’s challenge, you will be unable to submit it. Additionally, players will not be able to feature Touch of Magic Clothing or Furniture at this time in their DreamSnaps images.

In Furniture and Wardrobe mode, you can use the ‘Filters’ button to sort your inventory by tags. You can also use the new DreamSnaps toggle to sort the most relevant items for a given challenge to the top of your inventory, provided you have ones that are applicable. Don’t forget to talk to Scrooge McDuck to browse his furniture catalogue using item filters.

Once you’ve created the perfect design, be it with Clothing or Furniture depending on the week’s theme, head into Photo Mode. Once you’ve snapped a photo, you’ll see a new option to submit your design. If it fits all the requirements for the theme, your image will successfully be submitted. You can always view your submission in the Event tab of the Menu.

You can update your submission by taking a new photo and resubmitting it. Keep in mind that any new submissions will overwrite previously submitted images.

## It’s Time to Vote!

The week following each challenge brings a new theme, but also a week-long voting period for the previous challenge, during which you can jump back into the competition and vote on your favorite designs from fellow Valley Villagers. Just visit the Event tab in the Menu, and press the "Vote Now" button. You can earn an additional 50 Moonstones per challenge by voting, so don’t forget to participate each week!

Every participant in a DreamSnaps challenge will earn a minimum of 300 Moonstones and a randomized selection of furniture or clothing items – depending on the week’s challenge type – from Scrooge’s Store. The better your design performs in a challenge (taking into account both how many items matched that week’s theme and your garnered votes) translates to more Moonstones earned. There are a variety of different prize tiers, with the top five designers bringing home upwards of 5,500 or more Moonstones that week!

## Rewards

Once a week you can get at least 300 Moonstones for participation and up to 8500 Moonstones if there are a lot of votes for your photo and you get into the TOP-5 best designers! (The 1st place player on the Playstation reported that 12,000 Moonstones were sent to him as a reward. Apparently the leaderboards are different for Playstation and PC). Also, as a reward, you will receive Pixel Dust depending on the occupied space and a chest filled with random items.

All awards arrive at the end of the weekly voting and the beginning of a new competition week to your mailbox in the game. Don't forget to pick them up!

In addition to the rewards for participating and voting, you also get rewards for raising the Pixel Dust level:
