Hello Kitty Island Adventure Hugs & Hearts Event Guide

The Hugs & Hearts Festival is back in Hello Kitty Island Adventure, bringing plenty of love, warmth, and charming decorations to the island. The event runs alongside the Luck & Lanterns Celebration and brings a special new critter: the Lovebug.

When is the Hugs & Hearts Event in Hello Kitty Island Adventure?

This event originally debuted on February 8, 2024, and ran until February 20, 2024. It has since become an annual tradition, with the 2025 event set to run from February 8 to February 22. If you want to fully participate, you'll need a Net, which requires completing the Open the Nature Preserve quest.

How to Start the Hugs & Hearts Event

To begin, Chococat will be waiting at the Seaside Resort plaza (near where My Melody usually stands at the start of each day). Speaking to him will kick off the event, and he’ll explain the basics of collecting Lovebugs and what to do with them.

Once per day, a pink Lovebug will spawn somewhere on the Seaside Resort beach. You’ll need to use your Net to catch it, then take it to the Hugs & Hearts Habitat, a beautiful glass gazebo next to the southern beach (on the right side of the Docks). Depositing the Lovebug there will allow you to claim one piece of event furniture per day.

All Hello Kitty Island Adventure Hugs & Hearts Log-In Rewards

In addition to the daily Lovebug hunt, there are nine days of log-in rewards filled with themed clothing, food, and crafting materials. Here’s what you can claim each day:

These log-in bonuses are a great way to grab exclusive items without needing to catch Lovebugs. Make sure to check in daily so you don’t miss out!

Hugs & Hearts Habitat Furniture Rewards

The Hugs & Hearts Habitat acts as the event stand, where players can deposit Lovebugs and receive special event furniture. If you have Tuxedosam as a companion, his ability may even double your reward, letting you grab two furniture pieces for a single Lovebug.

Each Lovebug can be exchanged for one of the following furniture items:

With a total of nine different furniture pieces available, it’s worth checking in every day to ensure you collect them all. If you’re lucky, Tuxedosam’s ability could help you get everything faster!

How to Get 2024's Event Rewards

You'll notice in the Collection tab of your game that the Hugs & Hearts event has 30 items in total. If you missed last year's event because you're new to the game, you can still get them throughout this year's event by buying them from Tuxedosam and My Melody. Here are the items to look out for:

Lovebugs and the Hatching Process

The main goal of this event is to collect Lovebugs and place them in the Hugs & Hearts Habitat. Once placed, these little creatures will begin their transformation into chrysalises. You can collect one Lovebug per day throughout the festival, so make sure to check in daily if you want to collect as many rewards as possible.

Near the end of the event, the chrysalises will hatch into Heartwings, fluttering around the island. At the festival’s conclusion, Keroppi will inform you that one Heartwing has grown particularly fond of the island and wants to stay. He’ll then gift you a Heartwing as a lasting reminder of the festival.
