Grow a Garden has just received a new update that brings with it a completely new event called the Chubby Chipmunk Event. This event introduces a different mechanic that revolves around a squirrel, which you must obtain, feed, and fatten up in your garden to unlock unique rewards.

How to start the event?

The first thing you need to know is that the squirrel can be obtained for free in the new event area. You just need to collect it, find it in your inventory, and place it in your garden like any other pet. Once there, it will become part of the event’s mechanics.

The squirrel, named Chubby Chipmunk, will eat the plants in your garden to gradually gain weight. This growth is essential, as it is directly tied to the rewards you can earn in the event.

Main Event Mechanic

The character that accompanies this event will explain that squirrels are hungry and need to eat constantly. By placing them in your garden, they will consume your plants, gaining both weight and levels.

In the event interface, you’ll see a panel showing your squirrel’s weight. Each time it reaches a specific milestone, you’ll unlock rewards such as:

- The new chest
- Special pets like Hyrax or Pecan
- Accessories and energy boxes
- New seeds
- The Fortune Squirrel
- Energy Chew

Event Activation

In addition to taking care of the squirrel, you must activate the Nutty Fever event by collecting fruits and plants from your garden. All of them count, although each one contributes a different number of points. These points are what allow the event to activate and make your garden squirrel eat constantly.

The goal is to reach 1,500 points, which will unlock the next phase of the event. In this phase, acorns will appear on the map which, when collected, will grant additional rewards such as boxes, seeds, and special event resources.
