🏝️ Exploring Forgotten Island
As your adventure unfolds, you'll discover new locations, backgrounds, and story moments along the way. This is expected and part of the event experience.
Adventure chats during this event may also be a little longer than usual as they help tell the story. We recommend reading along—you might discover some memorable moments with Jo and Raissa.
💜 Staying in Forgotten Island
After completing the 14-day story, you'll be able to remain in Forgotten Island through the end of the event.
Staying or leaving is completely optional!
If you'd like to return to your previous destination at any time:
- Open the Quests tab.
- Tap the ••• menu in the upper-right corner.
- Select Return to (your previous location).
👀 You can also see your progress through the Forgotten Island story from the Event screen.
🎁 Can I still earn rewards after finishing the story?
Yes! Even after completing the story, you can continue participating in the Forgotten Island Seasonal Event and collecting daily rewards until the event ends.
🛍️ Will the event items be available in the Shop later?
The best way to earn Forgotten Island rewards is by participating in the Seasonal Event each day.
Event-exclusive items will not be available in the Shop after the event ends, so we recommend checking in throughout September to collect everything while it's available.
🎀 Can Forgotten Island items be gifted between users?
Yes! Forgotten Island items can be gifted, free to share the love with friends!
🥚 Will the Micropet be Hatchable Through Eggs after the event ends?
The event micropet will not be hatchable so we highly recommend participating regularly during the event if you’d like to collect it.
Why did Finch partner with Forgotten Island?
We partnered with Forgotten Island because its story celebrates friendship, courage, and cherished memories—ideas that have always been part of how we think about self-care.
The collaboration gave us an opportunity to build a unique Seasonal Event and Special Location inspired by those themes.
Whether you're already familiar with Forgotten Island or hearing about it for the first time, our hope is that the experience simply feels like Finch.
Why is Finch pursuing partnerships?
We're intentionally exploring a small number of partnerships with stories that align with Finch's values. Our goal is to create thoughtful self-care experiences that feel natural within Finch.
Will there be more partnerships?
We'll continue considering collaborations when they genuinely support Finch's mission and help us create meaningful experiences for our community.
Do I need to know Forgotten Island to enjoy the event?
Not at all! The event is designed so anyone can enjoy it, whether they're already familiar with Forgotten Island or hearing about it for the first time.
Is participation optional?
Yes. Like all Seasonal Events, participation is optional, and users can engage as much or as little as they'd like.
Where can I learn more about why Finch chose this partnership?
Our founder, Nino, shared more about the team's thinking in a community announcement. We recommend reading that post if you'd like additional context about how we approach partnerships.
Thanks for reading! 💜
We hope you and your birb enjoy your adventure on Forgotten Island!
