✨ The Treasure Hunt Event has returned to Disney Dreamlight Valley, running from May 27 through to June 9. While you may recognise this event from last year, this year's return introduces two brand-new rewards to collect: the Pirate Throne furniture item and the Pirate Mickey Design Motif.
What I've always enjoyed about the Treasure Hunt event is that it encourages you to visit all areas of the Valley to look for clues. Rather than focusing on crafting or gathering event resources, this event revolves around solving clues, uncovering hidden treasure chests, and piecing together a mystery that unfolds over several days.
How to Unlock the New Rewards
To unlock the new rewards, you'll need to keep an eye out for special red-and-gold fishing ripples. These can appear in the Peaceful Meadow, Dazzle Beach, Forest of Valor, or Glade of Trust.
Fishing in one of these unique ripples rewards a Treasure Trove Clue. Each clue points toward a hidden treasure chest somewhere in the Valley, though the location isn't revealed directly. Instead, you'll need to solve the riddle and clear specific obstacles within the hinted biome in the clue until the treasure chest appears.
Finding each hidden treasure rewards one memory piece. Once you've claimed a memory piece for the day, you'll need to wait until the following day for another red-and-gold fishing ripple to appear. Because of this daily progression system, the event takes a minimum of four days to complete, so it's worth starting as soon as possible if you'd like to unlock all available rewards before the event ends.
After collecting all four memory pieces, the completed memory reveals the location of the final hidden treasure. Head to Dazzle Beach near Skull Rock and dig at the location shown in the completed memory to uncover a reward pouch. Opening the pouch rewards you with the Pirate Throne furniture item.
To unlock the Pirate Mickey Design Motif, you'll also need to complete the Fishing for Adventure event duty. This is completed automatically once you've collected all four memory pieces from the event's fishing activity. Once finished, the motif can be claimed through the Events tab.
Personally, I think the Pirate Throne is the standout reward this year. It's a fun decorative piece that works surprisingly well in pirate-themed builds, adventure areas, and even some of the more rustic corners of the Valley.

The Treasure Hunt Event is one of the more relaxed seasonal events in Dreamlight Valley. I like that it doesn't consume too much time each day to work through, while still giving you a reason to log in and continue progressing toward the final reward.
If you're planning to participate, don't leave it until the last minute. Since collecting all four memory pieces requires a minimum of four days, it's worth getting started early to ensure you have enough time to complete the event and claim both new rewards before June 9.
If you're new to the Treasure Hunt event or missed it in previous years, you can also complete the returning event duty to unlock the original event reward alongside this year's new additions. Thanks for reading along, and I'll catch you in the next Cozy Valley Journal entry.
