As I dive into Infinity Nikki's latest Golden Season update (v1.11), the thrill of hunting elusive Gifties feels like chasing fireflies in a moonlit forest—each tiny creature reveals itself only when you've precisely aligned your steps with its hidden rhythm. This recurring scavenger hunt event, now seamlessly integrated into the "Unleash Your Style" board game, offers a fresh twist for veteran stylists like myself. With the Encore Season running from October 27 to November 22, 2025, we've got limited time to track down these whimsical beings across Lakeheart Island's dreamlike landscapes. What makes this iteration special? For the first time, Gifties aren't just randomly scattered; they're part of a strategic mini-game demanding both fashion flair and tactical dice rolls—a duality as unexpected as finding ballet slippers in a dragon's hoard.

🎯 Accessing the Event

First, complete the time-limited quest "Stylists, Assemble!" by speaking with Komenda. She'll direct you to Lakeheart Island, where you'll interact with various character groups before pledging allegiance to one faction. This unlocks the "Unleash Your Style" event—the glittering gateway to our Gifty hunt.

📘 Mastering the Inspiration Journal

After the tutorial, locate the Inspiration Journal (top-right UI icon). Here, you'll find bite-sized missions rewarding Inspiration Points—the currency controlling your progress on the event’s board game. Think of these points as musical notes: accumulate enough, and they compose symphonies of movement across the game board. Among these missions lies the coveted "Where Are the Gifties" challenge, featuring five hidden creatures. Only the first Gifty location appears initially; others unlock progressively throughout the update—a slow-burn revelation like watching origami unfold in reverse.

🎲 Hunting the Dancing Elegantly Gifty

The standout is the Dancing Elegantly Gifty, found exclusively within the board game. To locate it:

  1. Roll the Whimstone dice five times to reveal its position

  2. If it lands far away, keep rolling to advance Nikki

  3. Use the "Carefree" dice option (selects exact moves) when 1-6 spaces away

⚡ Pro Tips

  • Strategic Rolls: Save Carefree dice for Gifty proximity

  • Group Synergy: Your faction choice affects mission variety

  • Daily Checks: New Gifties unlock weekly—mark your calendars!

  • Do Gifties offer unique rewards?

Yes! Each contributes to Inspiration Point multipliers and limited-edition wardrobe tokens.

  • Is multiplayer coordination needed?

Not required, though faction allies can share location hints via in-game mail.
