- Haunted Floating Festival broom rewards are tied to completing festival puzzle activities on the floating island.
- The 2026 event runs from October 7 to October 31, 2026.
- Access the island through the Plaza portal or the in-game Event menu.
- Nine puzzles and ten ghost photo tasks are available during the event window.
- Seasonal furniture and clothing rewards cannot be earned after the event closes.
What the Haunted Floating Festival Broom Reward Is
The Haunted Floating Festival broom belongs to the seasonal collectible pool distributed through Disney Dreamlight Valley's limited-time Halloween event, the Haunted Floating Festival. During the 2026 event period (October 7 through October 31), players travel to a floating island via the Plaza portal or the Event menu and complete themed puzzle activities to unlock exclusive furniture, clothing, and decorative items — including witchy, broom-adjacent pieces that fit the festival's Halloween aesthetic.
Because the festival is a limited-time event, broom-themed and other seasonal rewards are only earnable while the event is live. Once access closes on October 31, unfinished activities and unclaimed rewards may no longer be available, so plan your route through the island early.
| Reward Category | Examples from the Festival Pool | How to Earn |
|---|---|---|
| Furniture | Clawed Foot Tub, Terror-rific Tree, Black Cauldron | Complete the matching festival puzzle |
| Clothing | Haunted Festival Dress, Haunted Armor | Finish mansion activities and challenges |
| Seasonal decor | Broom-style and Halloween-themed decorations | Progress through festival puzzles and ghost tasks |
| Ghost Hunt rewards | Photo-task collectibles | Photograph all 10 ghosts on the island |
Open the Event menu first and review which puzzles are currently unlocked. The 2026 schedule staggers returning puzzles, new Haunted Mansion puzzles, and the Ghost Hunt, so some broom-adjacent rewards may unlock later in the event.
How to Unlock Broom Rewards Step-by-Step
Follow this route to work through the festival activities that feed the seasonal reward pool, including broom-themed items.
Enter the floating island
Open the Event page or interact with the Plaza portal to travel to the Haunted Floating Festival island. Confirm the event quest is active before exploring.
Survey the puzzle areas
Walk the full island and note the Ghost Fox, Combination Pillars, Spooky Tree, and Potion Brewer's Cottage areas. Inspect every interactive object rather than following only the main path.
Solve the returning puzzles
Work through the Ghost Fox trail, match the pillar symbols using environmental clues, complete the Spooky Tree item sequence, and finish the brewing interaction in the cottage.
Conquer the Haunted Mansion
Enter the mansion once its area unlocks, inspect each room's clues, and complete the armor quiz challenge to progress toward the final objective.
Complete the Ghost Hunt
Use your camera to photograph all 10 ghosts scattered across the island. Photo-task completion contributes to the seasonal reward pool.
Claim and place rewards
After each puzzle's completion interaction, confirm the reward is registered. Seasonal furniture can typically be placed in your main Valley once collected.
The event area restricts normal Valley tools such as mining and fishing. Treat the island as a quest instance, and return to the Valley for ordinary resource gathering.

| Pumpkin | Food ingredient | Forgotten Lands | No weather requirement |
| Ginger | Herb | Forgotten Lands | Harvest during normal exploration |
| Wheat | Food ingredient | Goofy's Stall, Peaceful Meadow | Cheap staple crop |
