11Overview22inZOI features seasonal events tied to both real-world holidays and in-game calendar celebrations. These events add themed activities, exclusive items, decorations, and special interactions. Since the game's Early Access launch on March 28, 2025, KRAFTON has delivered three major real-world seasonal events. The March 2026 update (v0.7.0) then introduced a permanent in-game seasonal holiday system with four recurring festivals tied to the new calendar.44Real-World Seasonal Events77These are limited-time events tied to real-world holidays, delivered through game updates with exclusive content and decorations.99EventUpdateDate RangeHalloween 2025v0.4.0October 30, 2025 (permanent content)Holiday Festivalv0.5.0December 23, 2025 through January 31, 2026Lunar New Year 2026v0.6.0February 12, 2026 onward1111Halloween 20251212The Halloween event launched as part of the v0.4.0 update on October 30, 2025. It was the first seasonal event in inZOI's history and transformed cities with autumn-themed activities spanning both daytime and nighttime gameplay.1414Pumpkin Farming and Jack-o'-Lanterns1616A new pumpkin crop was added that players could grow on farm plots or purchase from the Farming Supply Store and Pocket Market. Once harvested, pumpkins could be carved into jack-o'-lanterns at a crafting table. Carved pumpkins could be worn as hat items or placed as home decorations.1818RecipeDescriptionPumpkin SoupA warm seasonal dish cooked from harvested pumpkins.Pumpkin PieA baked dessert requiring pumpkin and standard baking ingredients.Pumpkin CandyA sweet treat that could also be given to trick-or-treaters.2020Trick-or-Treating2121The trick-or-treat system centered around the Halloween Candy Basket. By placing this basket on their property, players attracted child Zois who visited every night to ask for candy. The interaction worked as a passive event: children appeared automatically at dusk and lined up at the basket.2323Ghost Fish2525Five luminescent ghost fish species were added that only appear between 6 PM and 6 AM. These spectral fish can be caught through the regular fishing system and displayed in aquariums. Ghost Fish glow in dark environments, making them especially appealing as decorations.2727Additional Halloween Content292938 Halloween-themed cosmetic unlockables (costumes, accessories).58 Halloween building items and decorations.Ghost Play: Play as a ghost for three in-game days after death.Funeral properties: Funeral Home, Columbarium, Cemetery.3131Holiday Festival (December 2025 Through January 2026)3333The Holiday Festival launched with the v0.5.0 update on December 23, 2025, and ran through January 31, 2026.

Unlike the real-world seasonal events above (which are delivered through specific game updates), these four holidays are built into the calendar and recur automatically as in-game time progresses. Each season has its own dedicated holiday festival that provides unique activities and celebrations.6868HolidaySeasonDescriptionSpring FestivalSpringCelebrates the start of the new year cycle with seasonal festivities.Halloween FestivalFallAutumn celebration with spooky-themed activities and decorations.Winter FestivalWinterWinter holiday celebration with seasonal cheer.Year-End FestivalWinterCloses out the year cycle with end-of-year festivities.7070How Seasonal Holidays Work7171Seasonal holidays appear automatically on the in-game calendar at fixed points within each season. When a holiday arrives, festivals are held across the game's cities. Players can set different holidays to recur on specific dates, allowing these celebrations to disappear and reappear as the save file progresses through time. This system ensures that long-term gameplay feels dynamic, with recurring celebrations marking the passage of in-game seasons.7373Spring Festival7575The Spring Festival is a new addition as of v0.7.0 and marks the beginning of each year cycle in the in-game calendar. It is the first entirely new seasonal celebration created specifically for the calendar holiday system. Spring Festival activities provide seasonal festivities during the spring season, giving players a reason to celebrate after the winter months.7777Halloween Festival (In-Game)7979The in-game Halloween Festival runs during the fall season as a recurring calendar holiday. This is separate from the real-world Halloween 2025 event (v0.4.0), though it builds on much of the same content. The pumpkin farming, trick-or-treating, ghost fish, and Halloween decorations from the original event remain available as permanent content that activates during the fall season.8181Winter and Year-End Festivals8383The winter season features two celebrations: the Winter Festival and the Year-End Festival. These recurring holidays provide winter-themed festivities at the end of each in-game year cycle. Like the other calendar holidays, they appear automatically and can be configured to recur on specific dates within the season.8585Birthday Celebrations8787The v0.7.0 update also enhanced birthday parties as part of the seasonal content system. Zois can now throw birthday parties that include gift-giving, blowing out candles on a cake, and smashing a pinata. The pinata is an interactive object that can be broken at parties to release candy. Zois advance to their next life stage either by blowing out candles during a birthday party social event or by spending their birthday alone without a party.8989Related Features9191FeatureDescriptionCalendar and Birthday Systemthe 28-day calendar that tracks holidays, birthdays, and due dates.Life Stagesfull breakdown of each age group's abilities and restrictions.Social Eventshow to plan parties, dates, and weddings.Seasonsdetailed weather and seasonal mechanics.Update Historytimeline of all game updates and patch notes.
