I want to participate in the Pikmin Bloom Journey Challenge Anywhere 2026 event, but I don’t see where you can buy tickets. Is this right? Should tickets be available? Does anyone know? I tried to contact in app support, but they’re away so I’ll try here for now.
There’s a banner ad (?) at the top of app stores, and it’s also available for sale on the web store, but neither seems to be there?
Thanks @pasorin, I am glad to know it’s not just me. I know the live/Seoul event has a limited availability, but I can’t imagine it’s the same for the anywhere challenge. I really enjoyed this event last year, I’m sure it’ll get figured out before the start of the event, just pretty strange!
Omg lol, I already bought it 
Sorry, please ignore me! This is a fun event if you like beautiful postcards. At least I’m assuming they’ll be beautiful again.
The ticket shows up for me in the web store but when I sign in to purchase, it disappears.
According to the Help Support within the game, I already purchased it and told me I should see it in Challenge Page.
I don’t see it in my Challenge List, nor do I have a record of purchasing it. I keep all my receipts from Xsolla.
I don’t know what else to do, but hope that this is a clerical mistake and that I’m able to join the 2026 Journey Anywhere.
I made the exact same mistake a year ago lol.

I think you are all set to participate, @JayRaq. It is really strange we can’t tell anywhere we have a ticket already. I was searching my inbox for a link or more info and found my receipt 
. I wish it would show the ticket on the shop, but already purchased or something like that.
Check out my first postcard from the event, pretty right? I’m bummed my Pikmin is blocking half the picture, but isn’t it weird the Pikmin pictured backwards? I’ve never seen that before…

@lavista1960 It look like your pikmin is admiring the beautiful view

@LiddleMunky83 it makes me wonder if that pose was intentional and the developers didn’t think about this scenario of large decor obstructing the view

I agree, @KippyPippy, it does look like they’re enjoying the view too! It’s pretty cute even if it blocks a lot of the view.
I am participating the Challenge anywhere game, but started experiencing a problem to receive rewards for a festival mushroom after 12 pm on 5/31 Eastern Daylight Time in the USA.
I used 2 mushroom tickets to participate a waterfall one finished around 2 pm and the Seoul Sky Tower finished around 8 pm- both had no mystery boxes appeared- only nectars and postcards. Has anyone been experiencing this? I have restarted the app multiple times.

I received notice that the event ended at 11 am my time! I did see the new festival mushrooms at noon but none of them had the any mystery boxes. I used 8 tickets because I already used my 3 after midnight and I send the extra postcards to friends who don’t participate. Lost out on a lot of special petals from the continuous mission.
Thank you for the compensation. However, I would like to express my disappointment with the flat compensation of 500 event tokens.
The Challenge Anywhere issue affected three Giant Festival Mushrooms that I joined during the final day of the event, between 12:00 PM and 11:59 PM. Because this happened during the last 12 hours of the event, I had no opportunity to recover the lost rewards through normal gameplay before the event ended.
While I understand that 500 event tokens were provided to all affected players, this does not reflect the actual impact on my account. The three Giant Festival Mushrooms represented at least 600 event tokens in rewards, and more importantly, those rewards would have given me enough tokens for two additional Trump Card Gold Seedling opportunities.
I collected over 50 Trump Card Pikmin during the event and was only missing one remaining design. Losing two Gold Seedling opportunities during the final hours of the event significantly affected my chances of completing the collection.
What is most frustrating is that all affected players received the same compensation regardless of how many rewards or opportunities they actually lost. Since the issue occurred at the very end of the event, there was no way for me to make up for those missed opportunities.
Had I known those Challenge Anywhere rewards would not be granted, it would have been more beneficial for me to join regular local event mushrooms instead.
I appreciate the compensation effort, but I do not feel that a flat 500-token compensation fairly reflects the losses experienced by players whose rewards were affected during the final hours of the event.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
