Halloween Potion Hunt (Ile Bizard)
Under the veil of night, stardust fell over our farm and turned one of our beloved bunnies, Chestnut, into a stuffed toy! We need YOUR help in turning Chestnut back into his real self. Guided by our trusty witch, you’ll walk around the farm, feeding and petting our magical creatures* and collecting ingredients to make a potion that will turn Chestnut back into a bunny. Come dressed!
