Revision as of 23:51, 29 January 2024
It's the season of love! Your packmates and wolves from other packs have been mingling and socializing, and there's been an abundance of frolicking going on. This month, work with a new friend to build long-lasting matches and meet romantic interests of your own!

The Matchmaker event is a recurring event, happening every February and lasting the whole month. The event begins at 00:00 on February 1st and ends at 23:59 on February 28th or 29th.
Event Basics
The Matchmaker event is full of activities and a wide variety of new mechanics to explore. Not only do you get to form matches between other wolves, but you get to date wolves yourself! Alongside this, a variety of new explore encounters can keep you entertained.
This event has an exclusive currency, Lovebugs, which are obtained through exploring, dating, and matchmaking.
Lovebugs can be exchanged in the event shop for special items!
Important Tips for Getting Started
The Matchmaking events tasks you with making a pretty important decision very early on, which will affect the whole rest of the event for you. If you're not paying close enough attention, you might miss the opportunity to make a choice you're satisfied with!
If you choose "Match Me" when meeting Eranthus, or the first time you visit the Dating page otherwise, Eranthis will ask if you identify as Female, Male, or Nonbinary. Every player gets a pool of NPC wolves they are able to date throughout the month, the potential wolves available depending solely on your answer a question to this question. Each NPC wolf has a preference for one or more gender identities, and you cannot date wolves who are not attracted to you. For example, if you choose to identify as Female, NPC wolves who are only attracted to Male wolves will not show up as a possibility for you to date.
Besides defining which wolves you'll be able to date, your answer to this question does not affect anything else in the event. If you're not particularly worried about choosing to identify a certain way, we can recommend basing your answer to this question on which wolves you want to be able to date!
The NPC wolves who are attracted to each gender identity are listed below. More NPC wolves will be added in the 2024 event, so we don't know all of the wolves who will be in each category yet, only the wolves from last year!

Special Event Items
When playing during this event, you'll happen across some new, unique items! These special items are used in dating-some wolves like them, while other wolves may not. In addition to this, some of these items are used for crafting and others are planned to be so in the future.
The items are found while exploring under specific conditions. Each item and the exploring conditions or biome required to find them are listed below! For example, if the item says "Deciduous Forest", it can only be found while exploring in the Deciduous Forest. If the item says "Sunny", it can be found in any biome, but only while it is Sunny weather in that biome.
Achievements
Alongside this event comes 12 achievements you can earn! You can find these on the Events tab of your Achievements page, which you can get to from your Profile page. These achievements can only be earned during this event, so get them while you can! None of these achievements provide any reward, but marking them as complete can be satisfying!

Event Shop
The Boutique of Delights, found on the Events page, is where you can spend your Lovebugs in exchange for decorations, backgrounds, and applicators!
The event shop is broken up into 3 different tiers which open on specific dates. Each tier opens at the same time for everybody-actions you take individually do not affect the shop opening for you. The dates of the shop openings are currently unknown, as the dates used in the 2023 run of the event were temporary due to the event beginning a bit late.
