The Season of Moomin is the twenty-third Seasonal Event in the Live version of Sky since the global release, following Season of Duets. It began Monday, October 14, 2024 at 00:00 PDT (UTC -7) and ends Sunday, December 29, 2024 at 23:59 PST (UTC -8), lasting 77 days. It is the fourth collaborative Seasonal Event in the world of Sky, in collaboration with Finnish writer and illustrator Tove Jansson's Moomins. Season of Moomin was first revealed during SkyFest as a secret announcement by Jenova Chen.
In this enchanting new Season, you'll follow the touching story of “The Invisible Child” as it comes to life in the whimsical world of Moominvalley. Each week, a new chapter will be revealed, and you’ll get to see how sweet Ninny is welcomed into the loving Moomin family.
Welcome[]
“ | Revisit a classic tale about friendship. |
” |
Meet the Moomins and their companions as they get to know Ninny the invisible child in Sky's newest collaboration. As you explore the enchanting world of Tove Jansson’s classic characters, you’ll discover the ways that friendship and acceptance can restore color no matter how faded the world may seem.
To begin, check in with the Moomin Storybook in the new Moominvalley Glade area. This Seasonal Guide offers a series of Quests that gradually unfold to tell the story of the Season from both the Moomins' perspective and a Sky Child's perspective. Along the way you'll have the chance to unlock themed items that reflect the Season—special Outfits, Capes, Hairstyles, an Instrument, and more!
The Moomin Storybook also brings several items in their Friendship Tree: a new Expression that perfectly captures the feeling of being immersed in another world, plus an Outfit and a cozy family portrait Prop that can be unlocked for regular Candles. Season Pass holders will also have the chance to unlock three Ultimate Gifts.
The beloved characters of Moominvalley are waiting to welcome you into their story, to explore alongside Ninny through a whimsical valley and experience the transformations that are possible through kindness and compassion.
Note that Season of Moomin can be enjoyed by all players who have progressed through at least Hidden Forest.

Spirit Memory Quests[]
The Quests from the Season of Moomin are different from other Seasons in that no new Spirits are introduced, with players guiding the Invisible Child Ninny through a whimsical valley where her story is told, each step bringing her closer to her true self. The very environment around you mirrors her journey, gradually blooming into vibrant hues as she emerges from the grey shadows of her past.
With the completion of each Quest, an additional Storybook Quest will also be unlocked. These optional extra Quests offer a glimpse into Ninny's shadowed memories and emotions as she works to becomes visible once again. Join in an adventure that challenges you to confront the shadows of your past and emerge stronger, celebrating the power of resilience and self-discovery.
Quest #1[]
- The Invisible Child: Chapter 1
In the first Quest, the player arrives as a Butterfly to Moominvalley on a dark and stormy night, following after two figures running through the forest. A woman wearing a striped shirt beckons to the empty space behind her, guiding what appears to be an invisible child - only visible by a floating bell collar - along the path. Lightning flashes as the two run through the forest, the child's bell gently tinkling as she follows after the older figure.
"I'm bringing you to your new home," the woman named Too-Ticky says, leading the child across a river that cuts through the path. "Come along!" They continue to run together through the pouring rain, eventually arriving at a clearing where a tall, round house sits. "We're almost there," Too-Ticky tells the child, pointing towards the house in front of them.
The woman climbs the front steps to enter the door first, waving a greeting to the three hippo-like creatures sitting at a table inside. Noticing that the child hasn't followed her inside, Too-Ticky encourages her with a friendly, "Well, come along!"
"Whom are you bringing?" Asks Moomintroll, the youngest member of the family peering curiously at the doorway.
"Her name's Ninny. She was frightened by a lady who had taken care of her without really liking her... " Too-Ticky explains as Ninny cautiously enters, "...and she turned invisible. I've met this lady, and she was horrid—the icily ironical kind."
The three Moomins are alarmed by the story. "How unpleasant!" Moomintroll comments disapprovingly.
Too-Ticky continues to explain as the child lingers in the doorway, "If people are frightened very often, they sometimes become invisible."
"Give the kid a chair," Moominpappa invites kindly, gesturing to an open spot at the table. Too-Ticky turns to encourage Ninny to take a seat, telling her, "This is your new family!"
The camera then zooms in to focus on Ninny, the player fluttering closer to land on her bell collar and bringing back its vibrant colors. As the scene draws to a close, the Quest is completed. With the completion of this Quest, the first optional Storybook Quest has been unlocked and the Read Expression can now be collected from the Moomin Storybook's Quest Tree.
“ | One rainy evening, a kind figure was leading an invisible child through Moominvalley. The lady's name was Too-Ticky. Maybe her friends could help the girl be visible again. | ” |

Quest #2[]
- The Invisible Child: Chapter 2
In the second Quest, the player once again arrives in Moominvalley as a Butterfly, this time inside the Moominhouse. Next to the front door is a spiral staircase, by which Moominmamma stands, facing the Invisible Girl Ninny. In her paw, she carries a small, round serving tray, which holds a drinking glass and an apple.
Moominmamma and Ninny make their way up the stairs to the house's first story, past a lit fireplace, towards another staircase spiraling up to the second story. Halfway up the stairs, Moominmamma turns around to make sure Ninny is still following her. Ninny's bell tinkles cheerily as the two enter a small room with a single bed standing by a window.
"Now have a good sleep, Ninny," Moominmamma says as she tucks the girl in.
On a nightstand by the bed stands an unlit candle in a candle holder. The candle's wick calls out to the player, signaling them to come closer. Upon flying near it, the candle is lit, bringing color to where its light can reach.
As Moominmamma tucks little Ninny into the bed, she speaks, "Sleep as late as you can. There'll be tea for you in the morning any time you want."
Leaving only a small gap open in the door, Moominmamma turns around, looking at Ninny one last time. The serving tray, which has been placed on the nightstand, is shown in full color, serving a glass of juice, a red apple and a few pieces of red and white candy.
Suddenly, Ninny's bell clangs and the apple lifts into the air as she sits up. The camera then pans down to where Ninny's feet would be, revealing a pair of white boots with red shoecaps, each topped with a golden star. Before the scene fades away, the player can be seen fluttering closer to Ninny's boots and landing on them.
By completing this Quest, the second optional Storybook Quest has been unlocked.
“ | The silver bell tinkled along after Moominmamma upstairs. | ” |
–Quest 2 Narration |
Quest #3[]
- The Invisible Child: Chapter 3
In the third Quest, the player arrives in Moominvalley as a Butterfly, this time in front of the Moominhouse. Moomintroll stands before the steps - on which Ninny waits - leading up to the front porch, curiously taking a close look at the girl's boots. Full of excitement, he runs down the path leading up to the house, to share his discovery with his parents, which reside by a big tree. "Mamma! She's got paws! You can see her paws!"
Ninny joins the Moomin family by the tree, which now all lean down to also admire her newly revealed boots. "Splendid! And better still when she shows her snout one day," Moominpappa says.
Near the house, there's a small apple orchard, which little Ninny walks down on, with an empty fruit basket in hand. The three Moomins have spread to different trees in the orchard, harvesting some fruit.
The player parttakes in the harvest by dropping the red apples from trees, making it easier for Ninny to pick them up. For this, the player must fly near an apple tree which holds a red apple and let it fall by clicking on the hand symbol once they're close enough. There are six apples to be collected in total.
After their successful harvest, everyone meets back at the tree they stood by earlier. "Good work, Ninny!", Moominmamma praises.
The family makes their way back to the house, while Ninny trails along after them with a jar full of apples. Suddenly, she trips and the jar shatters to pieces on the ground. The Moomins turn around at the loud sound, seeing the color vanish from the apples and Ninny's bell and boots. Realizing what happened, Ninny starts to shiver, her bell tinkling. She steps back from the scene before turning completely invisible again.
Moominmamma is quick to reassure Ninny. "Oh, that was the jar we use to give the bumblebees," she says, shrugging. "Now we needn't carry it down to the field." Moominmamma looks at Ninny, which becomes visible again, this time even revealing her legs and the hem of her dress. "I can see her legs!", Moomintroll says as he points at Ninny.
As the camera zooms out on the scene, color returns to Ninny. The player can be seen flying near the family, bringing color to their immediate surroundings as well.
With the completion of this Quest, the third optional Storybook Quest has been unlocked, as well as a Heart that can now be collected from the Moomin Storybook's Quest Tree.
“ | They picked apples. It was a beautiful autumn morning. | ” |
–Quest 3 Narration |
Quest #4[]
- The Invisible Child: Chapter 4
In the fourth Quest, the player arrives in Moominvalley as a Butterfly, this time inside the Moominhouse, on the second floor, where Ninny's room is located. On her way to exactly this room, Moominmamma walks, with a red dress folded in her paw. Ninny is still in bed, sleeping, while Moominmamma gently places the garment onto a chair besides the door.
As soon as Ninny awakes, she walks up to the chair and puts on the red dress which Moominmamma made for her - the old dress now lays where the red one did, neatly folded on the chair. Ninny moves a bit to admire her new look: a long-sleeved, red dress which ends just above her boot's brims, with a white, ruffled collar, decorated with the girl's bell accessory, and a big, yellow bow placed at the back of her head.
Ninny walks towards the stairs and stops just before them to stretch her body and yawn heartily. As she makes her way down the spiral staircases, she stops twice, standing in place to Think.
Downstairs, the Moomin family is already expecting Ninny, eagerly looking towards her - Moominmamma and Moominpappa stand at the foot of the staircase, while Moomintroll and, a new face, Little My, sit at the table. Ninny shuffles around a bit, blushing with all the attention on her.
She curtsies in front of everyone, picking up the edge of her new dress to do so. "Thank you all ever so much," she says. "We're happy to see more of you today!", Moominpappa replies.
Little My speaks, "Fine that you've started talking. Do you know any good games?"
Shyly, Ninny places her arms behind her back, says, "No..." Moominmamma and Moominpappa exchange a glance, "...but I've heard about games!", Ninny exclaims, lifting up her arms happily. Soon after, her close surroundings reveal their color, as well as the Moomin family. The scene comes to a close, and the player flies towards Ninny to land on her bow accessory.
With the completion of this Quest, the fourth optional Storybook Quest has been unlocked and Level 3 and 4 of the Read Expression can now be collected from the Moomin Storybook's Quest Tree.
“ | That night, Moominmamma made Ninny a rose-pink dress and laid it out for her in the eastern attic room. Ninny went downstairs to join the Moomin family for morning tea. | ” |

Trivia[]
- In an interview shared on the Chinese blogging site Weibo, Jenova Chen states that the Season is largely inspired by the original Moomin novels, instead of the comics or various animated adaptations.
- Many of the Moomin characters and Seasonal cosmetics still appear to take inspiration from the designs seen in later adaptations, such as the 1990s animated cartoon.
