Festivale

Template:Event Infobox Festivale is a spring event that happens in February or March. Pavé hosts the event in front of Town Hall. During the event, confetti will be raining down from the sky. As some neighbors will tell you, there will be no snow or rain during the entire day. Festivale is quoted by Nintendo Power, as an 'all-day festival of color, costumes and craziness!' Festivale is based on Mardi Gras, the last day of Carnival, a festive season occurring before Lent.

Events

In both the games, the objective of the player is to collect specific items (candy/feathers) as requested by Pavé. If you obtain the items, Pavé will give the player an item from the Pavé Series. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, the player must collect candy. While, the player must collect feathers in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

During the day, neighbors walking around the town will challenge the player in games, to win candy. However, if you lose you have to give some candy or 500 Bells. There is no limit of how many games can be played with the neighbors, but only the ones outside of their homes play games.

The games are as follows:

Imaginary Soccer - The neighbor will pretend to be a sports commentator and will act out a soccer scene. In response, the player have to select either I'll kick left/right or I'll protect left/right. You have to score or protect two times in a row. This will result in the neighbor giving you a random colored item of candy.

Rock, Paper, Scissors - The neighbor will play a word game of rock, paper, scissors and they will shout their answer. The player has to be the first to get it right two times in a row to win a randomly selected item of candy.

Coin Toss - The neighbor will pretend to flip a coin and will ask you what side you think it will be facing up. You have to do this 3 times in a row - if you lose at all, you lose the game. When you win, you can pick what color candy you want to receive.

What hand the candy is in - The neighbor will ask you which hand you think the candy is in. You have to get it right two times in a row out of two goes. Getting it wrong once will result in a loss. Once you win, you get a random piece of candy.

Psychic/ESP Test - The neighbor will ask you what you think the image in their mind is of. You have to get both questions right to get the candy. The first question is out of 3 shapes; either circle, triangle, and square. The second question is what fruit you think they can picture in their mind: apple, peach, orange, cherry and pear (occasionally, none will be an option in place of one of the fruit options). One wrong guess results in losing. If the player wins, they get to pick what color candy they receive.

The candy the player has won can be given to Pavé, who will exchange it for furniture in the Pavé Series. However, you must have three of the color candy he asks for.

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, the event is slightly different compared to the Festivale in City Folk. The villagers who are walking around the town can be found wearing a headdress with a flower at the top of it.

Unlike the objective in City Folk, the player must collect feather instead of candy for Pavé. During the day, feathers can be seen falling from the sky along with confetti (the feathers can be obtained using a net). This event has a bit challenging objective due to difficulty of identifying the feather color from a confetti.

If the player obtains the specific number of feathers requested by Pavé or obtained the rainbow feather, then the Pavé would perform a dance and a special dance if you obtained the rainbow feathers. After Pavé finished dancing, he will give the player a piece of furniture from the Pavé Series.

There is also a new game that involves the player guessing what way will the villager move his/her head, by doing that at the exact time.

Pavé will trade furniture for candy. However, he asks for 3 of the same kind out of a possible 4 types of candy; blue, red, yellow and green. Once he has this candy, he will celebrate and give the player a piece of furniture in return. The items available are:

• Pavé Chest
• Pavé Sofa
• Pavé Chair
• Pavé Table
• Pavé End table
• Pavé Closet
• Pavé Bookshelf
• Pavé Bureau
• Pavé Lamp
• Pavé Bed
• Pavé Floor
• Pavé Wallpaper

** Each item sells for about 12,000 Bells each and cannot be bought from Tom Nook's store or the catalog. **

The furniture is similar to Pavé, it is feathery and ocean blue in color, and each item has a white doiley on top.

Tips and Tricks

Below are some useful tips and tricks when trading candy for Pavé's furniture.

Storage

The player can place candy in letters and keep them in mail storage. One can also place the candy in items, like wardrobes or drawers.

Wagers

Make sure to leave your tools and special items in your house or else the Villagers might try to take them from you. The alternative is to carry old clothes and stuff that you don't want in your pockets, so if you lose the game you won't be losing anything important. To use this trick, you must stock up your money along with your items in a dresser or on the floor in your house. A tip is to collect some shells and grab some fruit, then when you talk to the Villagers, instead of asking for 500 bells or valuable items they will ask for whatever fruit you have carrying around with you. This way, you don't have any worthy items to risk during the Festivale event. Whatever candy you earn, store in messages or go back to your house and lay them down somewhere so villagers won't ask for any.

Old Candy

Save your extra candy from Halloween and Bunny Day to get the Pavé set quicker.
