A Puzzly Woods Portal

While digging an unusually deep fire pit for her campsite in the commons event area, camper Betty found a portal to the Puzzling Woods! Help Betty find some souvenirs to take home from her trip.

The Puzzling Woods

Beyond the portal lies the Puzzling Woods! Here, as you might guess, are puzzles to be solved! Three fields are spread around this strange area, each with a jigsaw puzzle to solve.

The first puzzle is available right away, with another puzzle unlocking 24 hours after the last. Talk to Betty to start quests to solve each puzzle.

Puzzle Monsters

Puzzle Monsters are strange creatures lurking within the puzzles of the old lands! Which three will emerge this time?

These silhouettes are not accurate. Don't bother trying to guess what they are!
We don't know what they look like, but rumor has it they are called: Skippy, Schnelly, and Cookie

A Classic Conundrum

Betty will pack up her campsite after the portal closes on Tuesday September 2nd, so don't be late!

You can choose between the Wolfhound, Golden Basset Hound, and German Shepherd!

Puppy and Person Training

A professional dog trainer will help train your puppy AND you! As dog owners need to know how to care for their puppy.

Race Track

Mythical Mount Management

The Bush Whacker community is needed once again! Three ill-equipped stable-hands have been tasked with the care of 3 mythical beasts! They're in over their heads and need the help of not one but all Bush Whackers!

Mounts Needing Tending

Back for the second time ever since their debut in May 2018, these three new trainers are responsible for the following mythical mounts:

• Alicanto
• Cockatrice
• Wampus Cat

These magnificent beasts are very high maintenance! Use your bush whacking skills to find items catering to each mythical creature:

• Tasty Nuggest for the Alicanto
• Shiny Bells for the Cockatrice
• Yarn Balls for the Wampus Cat

Each creature needs an enormous quantity of these items, but worry not; The whole community will be finding items alongside you.

Before Time Is Up!

The Bush Whacker 2 community as a whole only has 3 days to satisfy these needy beasts! See the trainers on Amicus Isle before noon on Monday July 28th to make your contributions to this limited-time community quest!

Assuming you're all successful, you can pick up your reward from them any time before Wednesday July 30th at noon.

Happy Whacking!

Summer Carnival Event 2025

The Carnival has returned to town! Get ready to play some games, help some Bushwhackian residents and win carnival tokens which you can exchange for cool prizes at the Carnival Event Vendor!

The Carnival Games

A staple of any summer carnival or fair, are those devilish carnival games. There are four different games which will unlock over the course of the event and they include "Balloon Popper," "Whack-A-Mole," "Baseball Throw," and "Duck Shoot." Don't worry, there's no skill involved with these games, you play them automatically when you interact with them.

- It costs 4 carnival tickets to play each game, and you can whack those tickets out of the bushes, or purchase them from Timmy in the Event area for Bush Bucks (30 Salvaged Tickets for 30 Bush Bucks)

- You receive Carnival Tokens based on how well you do. Now, we're not saying they're rigged in the Carnival's favour or anything, but you'll definitely want to ask your friends to help you rig these games to help you!

To get started, the Balloon Popper game is unlocked! As well, it seems William needs your help to satisfy his sweet-tooth!

A Teleporter to Somewhere...

The Pandaclaw was wandering around here somewhere....build the teleporter and complete all the quests and get your very own!

The dunk tank returns! Can you dunk all 8 helpless Bushwhackian residents? NPCs you haven't dunked yet will have a yellow exclamation mark above their heads, to let you know you still need to send them plunging into the icy waters of the tank! It'll help them all cool off. Plus, the tank is always in need of cleaning, so try to keep up with Katherine's daily Dunk Tank Cleaning quests!

Clowning Around

Peat Bog, Pete the Carney's brother has some tasks for you to help him put on a show!

Testing Your Power

And how are your Power collection skills? Are you strong enough to win all the bonus prizes? There are 7 strength settings to beat, unlocking as the event goes on as Strong-Whacker Sabine continuously tries to increase the difficulty of her Strong-Whacker Strength Machine Game.
