Calendar and Seasons

The year in My Time at Sandrock is divided into four seasons, each lasting 28 days. The game begins in Summer, and the calendar provides information on the birthdays of each resident, as well as the dates of local holidays and special events that often feature traditional games and festivities. Depending on the season, the landscape of Sandrock changes, with snow in the winter and higher sun in the summer.

Participating in the games during these celebrations earns Festival Badges, which players can use to purchase unique items at the Souvenir Shop located in City Hall.

Spring (Day of the Bright Sun)

The Day of the Bright Sun occurs on the 19th day of spring and features a gift-gathering game in which all residents participate. To take part in the game and have a chance of receiving a gift, players must complete the Gift of the Bright Sun side mission.

When the event begins, players should gather in front of the City Hall building to start the festivities.

An airship will appear in the sky, dropping gifts donated by each resident. Players must collect as many gifts as possible, ranging from food and clothing to accessories and raw materials.

When the airship reaches the square behind the Commerce Guild, the game will display three possible drop points for the gifts to land. The sites are marked and easy to spot. After several deliveries, the event concludes.

Summer (Dance Off, Day of Memories)

Dance Off

The Dance Off takes place on the 11th and 12th days of summer and is a dance competition in which players face other residents in a rhythm mini-game. The rules are straightforward: choose a difficulty level and press the buttons that appear on the screen. The icons will appear at the bottom of the screen.

If a line appears between two buttons, players must press and hold the button until the line ends.

By participating in the Dance Off, you will receive Competition Medals that can be used at the Festival Store, which is located where you register for the Dance Off.

Day of Memories

Day of Memories is a two-day holiday that is similar to Halloween. The first part takes place on the 27th day of summer and involves playing hide-and-seek to collect special badges. There are two phases to the event:

1. Hiding – find a hiding spot and wear a disguise to avoid being detected. If you are found, you will lose all the badges you have collected in this stage.
2. Exploration – you must find disguised inhabitants with a flashlight. Use the flashlight sparingly because it has limited battery life. When you find a disguised resident, they will start shaking. Catching them will earn you all of their badges.

On the 28th day of summer, Sandrock residents gather in the square just after midnight to release lanterns in memory of the dead. If you want to participate, you can pick up a lantern and release it by pressing the interaction key. This activity is not rewarded.

Autumn (Running of the Yakmel)

A special party takes place on the last day of autumn in which Yakmels play a central role. To participate, you must sign up at Wandering Y Ranch on the 28th day of fall. During the event, you will be taken to an arena.

Your goal is to gather various foods and ingredients from the backs of the Yakmels. Other participants can attack you, which will stun you and exclude you from the game for a few seconds. You can also retaliate.

The game lasts for two rounds, and ingredients and dishes have different point values. The arena is chaotic, so gather what you can. The person with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Currently, winter is the only season without any events.
