By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-08-28 10:59:25
The arrival of Joy and Sadness in Disney Dreamlight Valley’s Emotional Rescue update has brought a wave of new emotions and activities to the valley. Central to this update is the return of the wildly popular Memory Mania event, a limited-time scavenger hunt that grants players the chance to earn adorable, emotion-themed companions inspired by Inside Out 2.
If you're wondering how to dive into this event and claim all its unique rewards, you’ve come to the right place. This comprehensive guide will walk you through how to start the Memory Mania event, efficiently farm its required items, and unlock every prize, including the coveted Anxiety Squirrel.

How to Start the Memory Mania Event in Disney Dreamlight Valley


Unlike traditional quests that begin with a character conversation, the Memory Mania event has a more organic start. There is no official quest giver or starting point. To kick off the event, you simply need to explore your valley and pick up one of the special, sparkly memory items hidden throughout the various realms and biomes.
As soon as you collect your first event item, the Memory Mania duties will be automatically added to your Dreamlight Duties menu under the "Event" tab. From there, you can track your progress toward all the available rewards.

Memory Item Locations and Farming Guide


The core gameplay of the Memory Mania event involves hunting for four distinct types of objects. Each item you pick up corresponds to a specific colored memory and can spawn in several fixed locations.
Memory ColorItem NamePrimary Spawn Locations
Blue MemoryHockey TrophyScrooge's Store, the Dream Castle Plaza
Yellow MemoryHockey GearOutside Mickey's House, Goofy's House, Merlin's House
Pink MemoryBirthday CakeMoana's Realm, Remy's Realm, Wall-E's Realm
Red MemoryRiley’s PhoneOn the patio outside Chez Remy restaurant


Pro Tip for Efficient Farming: These special items have a respawn timer of approximately 30 minutes. For the most efficient farming, make a loop around all the listedlocations, collect every item you see, and then return later to do itagain. Picking them up regularly ensures the game continues to spawn new ones.

Earning Memories and Unlocking Rewards


Each time you collect one of the four items, you have a chance to receive apiece of its corresponding colored memory. These memories are used tocomplete pages in your Collection tab, and it takes 10 memory pieces to complete a single page.


However, it's important to note that item pickups do not guarantee a memory fragment every time. You may often receive Star Coins or other materials instead. This means you will likely need to collect far more than 10 of each item to finish a memory page and progress through the event duties.

Full List of Memory Mania Event Rewards


The true prize of this event is the set of five brand-new companions, each representing a new emotion from Inside Out 2. Here is the complete list of rewards and how to unlock them:


  • Envy Rabbit – Complete the "Feeling Nostalgic" duty.
  • Embarrassment Turtle – Complete the "Feeling Accomplished" duty.
  • Anxiety Squirrel – Complete the "Feeling Expansive" duty.

  • Nostalgia Capybara – Complete the "Get Nostalgic!" duty.
  • Lance Slashblade Statue – Unlocked by obtaining 200 total memories (Memorabilia duty).
  • Fog Horns Hockey Uniform – Earned by hanging out with Joy and Sadness.
  • Hockey Stick – A furniture item awarded for sparking joy (completing memories).


To claim any reward, navigate to your Dreamlight Duties > Event > Memory Mania. Select a completed duty and press the "Claim Reward" button to add the item to your inventory.


By following this guide and diligently hunting for those respawning items, you'll be well on your way to completing your emotional companioncollection in no time. Happy hunting
