Welcome Challenge

The Welcome Challenge is a Pocket Picture Challenge that becomes available to players after they have been inactive for a long period of time. Once it appears, it can be accessed through tapping the icon on the right side of the screen. The Welcome Challenge consists of three pictures, and one can be completed per day. Players who have the Welcome Challenge active have to complete it first before being able to access any limited-time Pocket Picture Challenges.

It is currently not known how long the period of inactivity has to be for the Welcome Challenge to appear. So far, it is known that it is at most 131 days (4 months and 10 days), but it is likely less than that.

So far, the Picture Complete and All Clear rewards of the Welcome Challenge seem to change every season, however it is not known if this will continue and on what exact dates this may occur.

It is possible to get the Welcome Challenge again after having completed it before.

How to Play

In Pocket Picture Challenge, the player is presented with four panels that have challenges on them. By completing a challenge, the player will earn the rewards shown on the panel, and the cleared panel will disappear, revealing part of the picture hidden underneath. Only one challenge has to be completed for each panel to clear them. When all four panels are cleared, the player will get the "Picture Complete" reward. One picture can be completed per day, and when the final picture is cleared, the player will get the "All Clear" reward.

It is not possible to accept multiple challenges at the same time. To take on a different challenge, the player can choose the challenge they want and select Change.

It is possible to switch challenges as many times as the player would like, even while a challenge is in progress. However, any progress they've made toward a challenge will be reset if they decide to change to another challenge before clearing their current one.

Trivia

• The image featuring Bunnie and Beau was originally used for the first picture, and the image featuring Blathers and Celeste for the second picture. On March 23, 2023, these images got swapped. The captions used for the first and second pictured remained the same, however. On July 26, 2023, the images were changed around again, back to their original order.
