Festivale

Festivale is a Spring event that happens in February or March depending on the year. Pavé hosts the event in front of Town Hall. During the event, confetti will be raining down from the sky. As some neighbors will tell you, there will be no snow or rain during the entire day. Festivale is quoted (by Nintendo Power) as an 'all-day festival of colour, costumes and craziness!'

During the day, neighbors walking around the town will challenge the player in games to win candy. However, if you lose you have to give some candy or 500 Bells. If you have none of the two, the neighbor will randomly choose an item, i.e. furniture. There is no limit of how many games you can play with the neighbors, but only the ones outside of their homes play games.

In City Folk
The games are as follows:

Imaginary Soccer - The neighbor will pretend to be a sports commentator and will act out a soccer scene. In response, the player have to select either I'll kick left/right or I'll protect left/right. You have to score or protect two times in a row. This will result in the neighbor giving you a random colored item of candy.

Rock, Paper, Scissors - The neighbor will play a word game of rock, paper, scissors and they will shout their answer. The player has to be the first to get it right two times in a row to win a randomly selected item of candy.

Coin Toss - The neighbor will pretend to flip a coin and will ask you what side you think it will be facing up. You have to do this 3 times in a row - if you lose the second or third time, you lose the game. When you win, you can pick what colour candy you want to receive.

What hand the candy is in - The neighbor will ask you which hand you think the candy is in. You have to get it right two times in a row out of two goes. Once you win, you get a random piece of candy.

Psychic/ESP Test - The neighbor will ask you what you think the image in their mind is of. You have to get both questions right to get the candy. The first question is out of 3 shapes; either circle, triangle, and square. The second question is what fruit you think they can picture in their mind: apple, peach, orange, cherry and pear (occasionally, none will be an option in place of one of the fruit options). If the player wins, they get to pick what color candy they receive.

The candy the player have won can be given to Pavé, who will exchange it for furniture in the Pavé Series.

If you are wearing a look or something from GracieGrace then when you first talk to the villagers they will give you free candy.

Candy
Candy is won during the events of Festivale, and can be supplied to Pavé depending on the color that he requests. This will result in Pavé giving the player furniture from the Pavé Series. Some candy is recieved by buying it from the shop, from town villagers, from past halloween, or from the past easter.

Each color of candy represents a type of feeling/mentality. These are described below:


 * Green Candy - Calm/relaxed. Pavé will announce he is hyper (possibly after eating Blue Candy), and will ask for Green Candy to calm down. "Relaxing, like a stroll in park! The green kind!"
 * Blue Candy - Refreshing. Pavé will say he is getting tired. "Refreshing, like cold wind! The blue kind!"
 * Red Candy - Explosive. Pavé demands something juicy, "The red kind, like a strawberry explosion!"
 * Yellow Candy - Zesty. Pavé will annouce that he has run out of "zest" in his dance. "Puckery, like lemonade! The yellow kind!"

Save your extra candy from Halloween and Bunny Day to get the Pavé set quicker.

In New Leaf
In Festivale (alternatively called Carnivale) is a little different. Instead of the somewhat tedious process of obtaining candy you are sent to find feathers instead. Obtaining all colours of feathers requested by Pave, or catching a rainbow feather, earns you a dance (special dance if you catch the rainbow feather) and a piece of furniture from the Pave Series. There are also a new game, which involves the player guessing what way the villager will turn their head and doing that at the exact same time.



Furniture
Once the player gives Pavé the candy he always demands 3 pieces and he will give them an item. Sometimes they will receive the same item more than once. However, the upside is that all of his furniture is worth 12,000 Bells, except when noted.

Tips and Tricks
Below are some useful tips and tricks when trading candy for Pavé's furniture.

Storage
Mail storage - The player can place candy in letters and keep them in your mail storage. One can also place the candy in items, like wardrobes or drawers.

Wagers
Make sure to leave your tools and special items in your house or else the villagers might try to take them from you. The alternative is to carry old clothes and stuff that you don't want in your pockets, so if you lose the game you won't be losing anything important. To use this trick, you must stock up your money along with your items in a dresser or on the floor in your house. A tip is to collect some shells and grab some fruit, then when you talk to the villagers, instead of asking for 500 bells or valuable items they will ask for whatever fruit you have carrying around with you. This way, you don't have any worthy items to risk during the Festivale event. Whatever candy you earn, store in messages or go back to your house and lay them down somewhere so villagers won't ask for any.

Look
Villagers will complement you and give you a free piece of candy the first time you see them that day if you are wearing a "look". If you put on a look later they WILL NOT give you candy.

Trivia
Festivale is based upon the real-world holiday, Carnival, a festival occurring in February just before Lent.
