All Thanksgiving Challenge Recipes in 99 Nights in the Forest

The Thanksgiving Challenge in 99 Nights in the Forest is a limited-time event where you need to cook a full feast before the guests arrive on Day 5. Every recipe you complete adds one guest to your table, and the more dishes you prepare, the better your final rewards become. With tight time limits and tons of ingredients to collect, this Challenge can be quite overwhelming if you don't know what to do. But knowing every Thanksgiving recipe beforehand makes the entire challenge far more manageable. So, here's a complete list of all the recipes.

List of All Thanksgiving Challenge Recipes in 99 Nights in the Forest

The Thanksgiving dishes always appear in the same order, letting you prepare ingredients ahead of time. So, here's a complete list of all the recipes to help you out:

These ten dishes represent the full Thanksgiving lineup required to summon all guests and unlock every reward tier. All in all, you will need around 5 Turkey Legs, 4 Berries, 4 Chili, 4 Stuffing, 2 Corns, and 1 of most other ingredients like Cake, Pumpkin, Morsel, etc.

Tips to Complete Thanksgiving Challenge Recipes

Now that you know which recipes to look out for and which ingredients to collect, here are some additional tips to help you speedrun through the Thanksgiving Challenge in 99 Nights in the Forest:

1. Buy Farming Plots in Advance: Crops like Corn and Chili spawn inconsistently in the wild. Having Farming Plots ready lets you grow key ingredients ahead of time, so you’re not relying on RNG during the limited 5-day window.
2. Play in a Group and Assign Roles: Completing all dishes solo is extremely difficult. Split responsibilities. Such as one player fishes for Swordfish early, another farms vegetables, another hunts turkeys, and someone else collects Morsels, Sweet Potatoes, and Cake ingredients.
3. Collect All Ingredients in a Shared Storage Area: Place a storage box or designated drop spot near the Crock Pot. Let everyone contribute ingredients there so the cook can quickly assemble dishes without searching the forest repeatedly.
4. Start Gathering Rare Ingredients on Day 1: Items like Chili, Cake, Pumpkin, and Swordfish take time or luck to obtain. Begin collecting them immediately, even before the board shows the recipe, so no time is wasted.
5. Prioritize Upgrading Crafting Bench: You cannot craft the Crock Pot until Tier 3. Make upgrading your first objective, even if it means pausing your regular early-game tasks.
6. Don’t Waste Turkey Legs: They are used in multiple recipes, so early hunting can save hours later. Always store your turkey drops instead of eating them.

• 1-4 Guests: A Bronze Platter containing basic consumables like Bandages, Stews, Armor Repair Kits, and early-tier gear.
• 5-7 Guests: A Silver Platter containing mid-tier loot such as Laser Gun, upgraded axes, better healing, and improved melee weapons.
• 8+ Guests: A Gold Platter containing high-tier equipment like Tactical Shotgun, Kunai, rare consumables, and premium weapons.

Also note that Feeding 10 guests also unlocks a secret cutscene and the Thanksgiving IV badge.
