Put your thinking hats on, because a new Bearlock Holmes quest has been posted!
In addition, we have also made the following changes:
- Hints will now be freely available without needing to ask a mod, but no additional hints will be provided.
- "Bearlock's Wallet" award has been changed to "Star Detective". Future Bearlock Quests in this category will grant this sticker. You can obtain multiple copies of this sticker.
- Bearlock quests DO NOT have to be done in order.

UPDATES & FEEDBACK
Thanks for the feedback so far! This month I'm requesting some opinions based on some specific feedback that was received, plus listing some updates below.
- Updates:
- Discord: added a 'bulletin board' category for organizational purposes.
- Gift notifs: you should now be able to notify others if you've drawn their baobear when submitting prompts.
- Requesting Opinions:
- Dumplings: I feel the need to rebalance this... the initial conceit of dumplings was to have it as a 'small bonus' for those who have a baobear & it was never meant to really be a 'perk' or to actually give anything of significant value, but I feel like that has not been conveyed as well as I would like... I'm considering the following options, which have been listed with game balance & site limitations in mind:
- Dumplings can be collected by all users, but will be limited to one per person per day, Dumplings will be collected from Bao's Dumpling shop. Existing dumplings/Bao's Charm will be repurposed.
- Keep as is, but reduce available items that can be purchased using dumplings & not have it play a significant role as a currency (ex. during events)
- Rework dumplings to be more like an 'affection meter' and give corresponding awards based on that.
- Other suggestion.
- Keep as is.
- Focus: I just want to get a feel for what I should focus on first for the next few months! There's a few 'for fun' projects that I'm keeping to myself already, but in general wanted to know what people are most keen on:
- The Libreary: ability to complete past events & obtain 'retired' items.
- Permanent prompts: more city hub & special quests.
- Bearlock Holmes: more puzzles & puzzle-style activities (ex. word find, spot the difference, sudoku, etc.).
- Events: more limited time quests & rewards.
- Pets: again, just putting a feeler out to see people's preferences!
- Essentially, would you rather have releases of new pets, or pet variations?
- Dumplings: I feel the need to rebalance this... the initial conceit of dumplings was to have it as a 'small bonus' for those who have a baobear & it was never meant to really be a 'perk' or to actually give anything of significant value, but I feel like that has not been conveyed as well as I would like... I'm considering the following options, which have been listed with game balance & site limitations in mind:
Feedback this month will reward x1 general raffle ticket, able to be collected after form is filled. Don't forget to use this item in your inventory to be entered into the monthly raffle. You can answer as many or as few questions as you like!
That's all for now!
Thank you so much for playing and I hope to see you soon!
