The Memory Mania 2025 event officially runs from September 3rd to September 16th, despite the in-game description incorrectly listing August 27th as the start date. Players still have a full two weeks to complete every task and collect all rewards.

This year’s event introduces new companions, outfits, and collectibles while keeping several returning tasks from last year. Below is a fully updated guide with correct names, verified using the official Dreamlight Valley database.

How to Complete New Tasks in Memory Mania 2025

The event introduces three new duties alongside the returning challenges:

  • Get Nostalgic → Find Riley’s Phones near Chez Remy. Two phones spawn per hour (one every 30 minutes). You need 10 phones to unlock a memory orb and progress through the event.

  • Spark Joy → Spend 120 minutes hanging out with Joy to complete this task and unlock rewards.

  • Embrace the Blues → Similar to Spark Joy, but requires 120 minutes with Sadness.

Completing these new tasks grants players access to exclusive rewards, including the Nostalgia Capybara companion, unique hangout bonuses, and the Fog Horns Hockey Uniform with a matching hockey stick.

Memory Collection and Companion Rewards

The event also includes five returning tasks from last year, including collecting 200 memory orbs. These orbs can be obtained from several activities:

  • Picking up Riley’s Phones

  • Fishing spots

  • Cooking interactions

  • Realm-specific collectible items

Completing the 200-memory objective unlocks the Lance Slashblade Statue, a special decorative reward inspired by Inside Out 2. Players can also unlock several event-exclusive companions, each tied to specific duties:

  • Envy Rabbit → Earned by removing hockey trophies from Scrooge’s Store.

  • Anxiety Squirrel → Obtained by collecting memory items from Mickey’s House, Goofy’s House, and Merlin’s House.

  • Ennui Raven → Rewarded after gathering birthday cakes from the WALL•E Realm, Ratatouille Realm, and Moana Realm.

  • Embarrassment Turtle → Unlocked after completing all three memory-based tasks.

Tips for Faster Progress

To complete the event efficiently and unlock every reward before September 16, follow these strategies:

  • Group NPC Houses Together → Temporarily place Mickey’s, Goofy’s, and Merlin’s houses close to each other for quick item collection.

  • Prioritize Realm Runs → Moana’s Realm and Ratatouille’s Kitchen have higher spawn consistency for event items like birthday cakes.

  • Check Scrooge’s Store Frequently → Hockey trophies spawn once per hour, with a limit of two active trophies at any given time.

  • Keep Collecting After Completion → Even after finishing individual memories, items like phones, trophies, and cakes still contribute toward the 200-memory orb milestone.

Following these methods ensures you can unlock all companions, outfits, and decorations before the event ends.
