Surprising discoveries are nothing new for Stardew Valley players, and recently one unlucky fan found a unique prize that hardly anyone has seen before. The discovery came when the player encountered a hidden prize after failing the Fair’s Strength Test. Stardew Valley remains one of the most popular life-sim games today, and this amusing incident left the community filled with laughter and surprise.

The unique time cycle of seasonal events in Stardew Valley gives players the chance to experience unique cutscenes and mini-games, as well as the opportunity to win and purchase rare in-game items. Most of the available items and secret gifts are well-known, but one fan unearthed an unknown prize in a hilarious way.

Player’s Interesting and Funny Incident

Reddit user hiddenlilacflower shared her embarrassing but enlightening incident. The incident took place during Stardew Valley’s annual Fair, where a number of carnival games are set up in the central square of Pelican Town. Through these games, players can win Star Tokens, which can later be exchanged for items such as Stardrop, Dried Sunflowers, Glowstone Ring, etc. In a game called Strength Test, the player has to time a mallet strike to fill up the entire meter and win the maximum number of Star Tokens. But unfortunately, hiddenlilacflower hit her mallet at exactly zero power, giving them a dialogue box with only one Star Token.

‘Pity Prize’ Found at Stardew Valley Fair

Other Stardew Valley players sympathized with the single-star token from the Strength Test, calling it a ‘Pity Prize’, although many also praised the game’s creators for including this detail. Other fans have also encountered rare events and dialogue boxes in the game, such as special visual elements on loading screens and rare dialogue from NPCs. With the PC release of update 1.6 for Stardew Valley, both new and old players have started returning to the game, revealing even more fun details. As the wait for update 1.6 for consoles and mobile continues, the community is keeping players entertained with these informative developments.
