Quote"Is that an Ocean Sunfish over there? Is he supposed to be back there, I thought this was employees only?"

Just as temperatures are heating up in the north, the annual Water of Summer Festival is here to help everybody stay cool! 💦
Summer brings a new shop, with new summer items! Whether you like it or not, "Uncle Phin" is back in town and brought some gear for playing in the water:

Watergun: Zapper (Left)
Watergun: Zapper (Right)
Summer Water Bowl

Splash Your Friends (Or Enemies) For Prizes! 💦
💧 While Phin is here, splash each other to meet the event goals, then proceed through his dialog to unlock even more summer items.
You can throw water at other members by pressing the splash button under their avatars or on their profile pages. Help us keep the forum wet enough through the fish days of summer! 💦


If you don't see the splash button, make sure the event has started and Phin isn't waiting for a response.

• The event is broken into stages.
• Each stage requires working together to splash a certain number of times.
• Progress toward each stage's goal is shown at the top of the home page and updated regularly.
• Once a stage's goal is met, press the buttons on Phin's dialog to complete it and move on to the next goal.
• Check if you're on the leader-boards by coming back to the bottom of this event details page anytime after the event has started.
• Visit your profile to see your personal stats.
