Pukaland is finally open in Neverness to Everness, bringing shooting galleries, rhythm challenges, a sprawling maze, and plenty of rewards. Before spending your Fons on repeated rides, grab the Gold Pass and check your collection objectives. Here’s how to tackle the attractions, unlock their hidden challenges, and farm Puka Stars efficiently.
Pukaland Travelogue Dates and Rewards
Pukaland Travelogue runs from September 30, 2026, after the update, until November 11 at 05:59 (UTC+8). Complete limited-time encounters and collect Wonder Stamps to earn Annulith, Fabricated Dice, Floe Cinema Tickets, Elite Hunter Guides, Chaotic Dye, and more.
Start by opening the Wonderlog and reading each attraction’s objectives. Getting S rank does not automatically finish every task: some require consecutive hits, specific targets, or a hidden scene.
There are also separate reward systems to track:
|
System |
How it works |
|
Pukaland Travelogue |
Complete limited-time encounters and collect Wonder Stamps. |
|
Puka Stars |
Earn currency through attractions and exchange it for park rewards. |
|
Puka Membership Program |
Complete the separate City Tycoon progression and raise your Sweetdream Level. |
The Membership Program’s character selection rewards and outfits belong to its own progression track. Keep those separate from the Travelogue’s encounter rewards.
Get the Pukaland Gold Pass First
Make the Pukaland Gold Pass your first major purchase at the Puka Exchange Shop. It permanently reduces the cost of all Pukaland attractions by 90%, meaning you pay only one-tenth of the original admission fee.
Earn enough Puka Stars to buy it before settling into longer farming sessions. The discount is especially useful when practicing difficult rides or making separate attempts for collection objectives.
During an active attempt, use the pause menu’s Restart option to practice a failed opening instead of finishing the run and paying another admission fee. Check your objective progress separately; restarting does not necessarily preserve every task’s progress.
Mini-Game Guide
Pukaboo Stack
The trick is to shoot the bottom of the stack. Removing a supporting figure can bring down several figures above it, giving each shot more value.
Wait for the aiming movement to line up with the base before firing. Picking off figures near the top wastes ammunition and can leave an awkward formation that takes several extra shots to clear.
If your first shots go badly, restart and practice the opening. Once you know which supporting figures to target, Pukaboo Stack becomes a reliable choice for repeat runs.
Secret Match
Secret Match asks you to remember matching symbols beneath moving cups. When the board contains three pairs, track two pairs through the shuffle and identify the remaining pair by elimination.
Choose the pairs you want to follow before the cups start moving. Watch the cups themselves rather than remembering only where they began.
A clean sequence helps with both scoring and collection objectives. If you lose track during a difficult shuffle, concentrate on recovering one known pair rather than guessing across the entire board.
Candy Carousel
Shoot normal projectiles into open shells, taking two shots during the same opening when possible. Once a shell closes, switch to the star projectile to reopen it, then return to normal shots.
For S rank, aim for 3,000 points or more. You can afford some mistakes, but spending too long waiting for the perfect opening makes the round harder.
Plan your final shots around the objective you are chasing:
- Finish with more than ten seconds remaining: prioritize using your ammunition quickly.
- Finish with every shell open: reopen the remaining closed shells before spending your last projectile.
- Reach a high score: make your shots count and use the star projectiles effectively.
The round ends when your ammunition runs out. Set up any end-of-round requirement before firing the final shot.
Whack-a-Puka
Prioritize special Pukaboos and watch for the hammer bonus that clears active targets across the board. Triggering it while several targets are present can earn points much faster than hitting them individually.
Hit ordinary targets when you have a clear opening, but leave the acorns alone. They reduce your score, so rapid clicking without checking the target can undo a good run.
For a task requiring consecutive special-target hits, focus on completing that sequence first. Chasing every ordinary target can distract you from the next special appearance.
Plushie Shootout
Learn where the plushies appear and move your aim toward the next position before they enter the shooting area. Repeated attempts make the sequence easier to recognize.
For score farming, quick shots at familiar spawn points help maintain momentum. For accuracy objectives, use a more deliberate approach: fire at visible targets and stop shooting when the area is empty.
Treat a high-score run and a clean-accuracy run as separate attempts when necessary. Firing more bullets is useful only when those bullets actually connect.
Star-struck
Star-struck is the darts game and a convenient option for short farming sessions. Keep your aim near the bullseye and make consistent throws.

Six 25-point throws reach the S-rank threshold. For this basic farming route, you do not need to spend extra time chasing a Perfect on every dart.
Collection objectives require a different approach. For Perfect throws, watch the aiming indicator and release in the yellow timing zone. For Bonus Zone tasks, aim at the designated bonus rings rather than assuming a bullseye satisfies the requirement.
Use fast, consistent throws for farming and careful timing for the tasks that specifically demand it.
Magic Spin
Magic Spin is the prize wheel, with outcomes that vary by the multiplier you land on.
Try it for its relevant objectives or the experience, but choose a score-based game when working toward a fixed exchange purchase. Consistent clears make it easier to control how much Fons you spend.
Major Rides and Hidden Challenges
Flora Maze
Flora Maze rewards efficient navigation and the time remaining when you escape. Pick up cakes to extend your timer, especially when they are close to your route.
Other pickups can increase score while accelerating time loss. Collecting everything is therefore not always the best approach: weigh the points against the time needed to reach the exit.
Separate your attempts by purpose:
|
Attempt |
Main priority |
|
High score |
Preserve time and escape efficiently. |
|
Collection |
Find playing cards and rescue trapped Pukaboos. |
|
Speed challenge |
Reach the exit within the required elapsed time. |
The objective to finish under two minutes concerns the time taken to complete the run. Having more than two minutes left on the countdown is a different condition; collecting cakes does not replace a fast escape.
Avoid unnecessary exploration once you have identified a way out. As the maze changes between attempts, use recognizable landmarks to orient yourself rather than relying entirely on one memorized sequence of turns.
Candy Jar Raid
Candy Jar Raid is the octopus attraction, combining moving treasure targets, tentacles, and two attack options.
The alternate projectile travels along an arc, so aim ahead of moving targets and account for the delay before it lands. You can hold the attack input to keep firing rather than clicking repeatedly.
Look for all three treasure maps. Hitting them unlocks an alternate scoring phase with more opportunities to build your score.
Then choose your targets carefully:
- Use precise shots for treasure chests.
- Use bombs against the larger tentacles.
- Clear tentacles that obstruct valuable targets.
- Destroy restraining tentacles quickly when the octopus grabs your ride.
For the objective requiring consecutive treasure hits with the spear-type projectile, slow down and line up each shot. Constant firing is less useful when the task depends on an uninterrupted sequence.
Collecting the maps and clearing every tentacle are separate goals. The maps unlock the alternate phase, while destroying all tentacles is the target to pursue for the hidden encounter. Do not stop checking the arena just because the scoring phase has changed.
Punchulum Ride
Punchulum Ride is the pendulum rhythm challenge. Match the displayed directions with the corresponding controls—WASD on PC where shown.
For normal notes, press the matching key as the outer ring closes onto the inner ring. Read the prompt type as carefully as the direction:
|
Prompt |
Required action |
|
Normal note |
Press once at the correct timing. |
|
Sustained note |
Hold, then release as indicated. |
|
Orange rapid-input prompt |
Press repeatedly. |
A single tap will not complete an orange rapid-input prompt. At the same time, avoid mashing through the entire sequence: normal and sustained notes still depend on timing.
Mistakes raise the fear gauge, and filling it can end the ride early. Accurate inputs and enough Perfect results unlock the special animation. Continue following the prompts after it begins, especially if you are working on the related collection challenges.
Lavaton Gold Rush
Lavaton Gold Rush is a mine-cart obstacle course. Switch tracks, collect coins, jump over hazards, and use rockets against destructible obstacles.
Gates require jumps, while certain rocks and dessert-themed obstacles can be removed with rockets. Look ahead for broken or ending rails so you can change direction before the cart drops.
For Runaway Coin objectives, line up with the coins moving toward you and collect them directly. Jumping over them can leave the task incomplete.
Plan separate attempts if your remaining objectives conflict. A coin-focused run may involve different decisions from a run that requires avoiding a particular hazard. A collision does not automatically destroy your score, but it can invalidate a clean-navigation objective.
Pixies Waltz
Pixies Waltz alternates between direction-matching and shooting stages.
Build energy by matching the arrows accurately. Once the gauge fills, the ride moves into the space shooting sequence, where you attack targets such as donuts and spacecraft. The rhythm and shooting stages repeat through the ride.
Strong performance can unlock a special scene with additional scoring opportunities. During shooting sections, prioritize accurate hits over uncontrolled firing, particularly when pursuing accuracy-related tasks.
Both halves matter: good rhythm inputs build the energy you need, while successful shots turn the shooting sections into points.
Spooky Cookies
Spooky Cookies is the haunted-house attraction, which will be released at v1.4 phase II.

For Short Sessions: Starstruck
Starstruck has a short, straightforward format. Once you can land consistent central throws, it is easy to repeat without working through a long ride sequence.
Focus on reaching 150 points reliably. Perfect-throw practice can wait until you are completing its specific objectives.
For Conserving Fons: Pukaboo Stack or Secret Match
At the listed S-rank rewards, these games provide a better currency conversion than Starstruck.
Choose Pukaboo Stack if you are comfortable targeting the supporting figures. Choose Secret Match if tracking moving pairs feels more consistent. Your actual return depends on the rank you earn, so reliable clears matter more than the theoretical maximum.
For Larger Rewards per Run: Major Rides
Major rides award more Puka Stars in a successful attempt, but require more time and inputs.
Punchulum Ride suits players comfortable with rhythm prompts, while Lavaton Gold Rush offers an alternative built around navigation and obstacle avoidance. Pick a ride you enjoy and can clear consistently.
Recommended Completion Route
1. Read the Wonderlog. Identify limited-time tasks and attraction-specific requirements.
2. Buy the Gold Pass early. Save your first substantial Puka Star earnings for the permanent discount.
3. Complete basic scoring objectives. Learn each game before making more demanding attempts.
4. Target special requirements separately. Focus on accuracy, consecutive hits, or end-of-round conditions.
5. Complete hidden ride challenges. Check treasure maps, tentacles, rhythm performance, and shooting objectives individually.
6. Finish maze exploration and collection. Keep speed attempts separate from longer searches.
7. Farm for your preferred exchange items. Choose a reliable activity and stop once you have enough stars.
8. Check sightseeing progress and claim rewards. Revisit the activity page and Wonderlog before leaving.
Pukaland also offers quieter attractions, including the Ferris wheel, sightseeing rides, and nighttime fireworks around Pukatopia Castle. Check the relevant objective after interacting with each attraction so you know whether it has registered.
Conclusion
Get your Gold Pass early, separate scoring runs from collection attempts, and farm a game you can clear consistently. That leaves more time to enjoy Pukaland—and fewer Fons spent repeating avoidable mistakes.
