APRIL FOOLS CHALLENGE WINNERS, GARDEN HATCHING POTIONS, AND SPRING AVATAR CUSTOMIZATIONS

April Fool's Challenge Winners and Blog Post!
The winners of the April Fool's Social Media Challenge have been selected! Congratulations to: isaaleonardo, Bee_, kitt-haven, alittleofeverything, and Zelah_Meyer!

Thank you to everyone who shared their awesome pics with their fruit and veggie pets! You can see a fun recap of the shenanigans on our blog. Stay tuned to see what wacky antics the Fool gets up to next year!



Garden Magic Hatching Potions
The April Fool returns to the Tavern, wearing his trademarked mischievious grin and pulling a wagon whose contents are covered with a colorful cloth.

"I'm so glad everyone enjoyed my wholesome joke!" he declares, tossing confetti in the air as he often does. "Since you all had so much fun, I've brought you another surprise!"

He dramatically pulls away the cloth to reveal that the wagon is filled with potion bottles! Each bottle seems to contain a shape-shifting vegetable.

"Now you can keep your fruit and veggie pets all year round!" he says. "Take good care of them, and I'll see you all again soon. I guess I've really outdone myself so I have some serious planning to do before next year..." With that, the Fool takes his leave, disappearing in a puff of lettuce leaves and leaving the cart full of potions.

Thanks to the April Fool, you can purchase Garden Magic Hatching Potions in the Market between now and April 30! Garden pets do not have mount forms (yet!) so keep that in mind when you're purchasing. After they're gone, it will be at least a year before Garden Magic Potions are available again, so be sure to get them now!



Shimmer Hair Colors and Pastel Skin Set
The Seasonal Edition Shimmer Hair Colors and Pastel Skin Set are now available for purchase in the User > Edit Avatar! These skin sets will only be available to purchase until April 30th, and then they will disappear from the shop until next Spring Fling. If you buy them, though, you will have access to them year-round!

Plus, there’s new Gold-purchasable equipment in the Enchanted Armoire, including some fun joke props in honor of April Fool's Day! Better work hard on your real-life tasks to earn all the pieces! Enjoy :)



April 2019 Resolution Success Challenge and New Take This Challenge
The Habitica team has launched a special official Challenge series hosted in the Official New Year's Resolution Guild. These Challenges are designed to help you build and maintain goals that are destined for success and then stick with them as the year progresses. For this month's Challenge, Gather Your Party, we're focusing on finding encouraging allies to help you gain accountability for your goals! It has a 15 Gem prize, which will be awarded to five lucky winners on May 1st.

Congratulations to the winners of March's Challenge, DcryptMart, LONEW0LF, Elcaracol, DungeonMasterful, and 7NationTpr!

The next Take This Challenge has also launched, "Harder, Faster, Stronger!", with a focus on setting and meeting physical activity goals. Be sure to check it out to earn additional pieces of the Take This armor set!

Take This is a nonprofit that seeks to inform the gamer community about mental health issues, to provide education about mental disorders and mental illness prevention, and to reduce the stigma of mental illness.

Congratulations to the winners of the last Take This Challenge, "Do One Thing Well!": grand prize winner Денис Кадников, and runners-up addone, alihenri, Hemogoblin3991, Kalu_Ienvru, and gabriellamara! Plus, all participants in that Challenge have received a piece of the Take This item set if they hadn't completed it already. It is located in your Rewards column. Enjoy!



Shiny Seeds
Throw a Shiny Seed at your friends and they will turn into a cheerful flower until their next cron! You can buy the Seeds in the Seasonal Shop for Gold. Plus, if you get transformed by a Shiny Seed, you'll receive the Agricultural Friends badge!

Don't want to be a flower? Just buy some Petal-Free Potion from your Rewards column to reverse it.

Shiny Seeds will be available in the Seasonal Shop until April 30th!

THE APRIL FOOL STRIKES AGAIN!



Fruit and Veggie Pets and NPCs
The April Fool has appeared, and he's got a farmer's market's worth of produce in tow.

"HAHA!" he cries, as a dragonfruit bounces along beside him. "I've always thought good humor should be healthful and nourishing, so I've gone back to my roots, if you will, to bring some plant-powered goodness into Habitica once again!"

"He's replaced all our equipped pets with fruits and vegetables!" says QuartzFox, gently patting a contented-looking tomato. "Although to be fair, they are very cute fruits and vegetables!"

Equipping different pets will show different fruits and veggies. Have fun discovering them all!

The NPCs have also been turned into their fruit and vegetable forms as a tribute to Habitica's very first April Fool's prank back in 2014! Go check them out.

Special April Fool's Social Media Challenge!
For even more fun, check out the official Challenge posted especially for today! Share your avatar featuring your new fruit and veggie pet on social media between now and April 3, and you'll have a chance to win gems and have your avatar featured on the Habitica Blog!

LAST CHANCE FOR MARCH SUBSCRIBER GEAR! AND THE APRIL FOOL PROMISES HEʼLL BEHAVE THIS YEAR

Last Chance for March Subscriber Gear
Reminder: this weekend is your final chance to subscribe and receive the Egg-squisite Armor Set! Subscribing also lets you buy Gems with Gold. The longer your subscription, the more Gems you get!

Thanks so much for your support! You help keep Habitica running.

The April Fool Stops By the Tavern...
As March in Habitica comes to a close, everyone is wondering what the ever-impish Master of Rogues, the April Fool, might have in store for his favorite holiday.

He's stopped by the Tavern today, ostensibly for lunch, but he seems keen to put everyone at ease about the possibility of shenanigans in the near future.

"I've re-committed myself to health!" he says, happily munching on a crisp, ripe pear. "I'm too busy brushing up on nutrition to possibly pull a prank! If anything I'd rather just help every Habitican get more healthy food into their routines."

Beffymaroo smiles and leans to whisper to Piyo and SabreCat, on the next bench.

"Given his track record over the years, I'd say the chance he's going to behave himself this year is about as good as the chance of artichokes falling from the sky."

Perhaps you should check back when April 1st rolls around to see what's in store…
