What this event is
Call of Whales is Heartopia's underwater Fashionwave season. It adds Whalefall Canyon, Ocean Cleanup, Seamount housing, seasonal recipes, Splash Whales, concerts, and collection rewards.
The main page should help players understand the event first, then send them to the whale routes and sub-guides when they need exact locations.
Best first move
If you just logged in, unlock the event, claim the free catalog rewards, then start the Splash Whale hunt before doing the longer cleanup and collection tasks.

- 2Start the Splash Whale hunt early.
- 3Unlock the Tidal Stove and seasonal recipes.
- 4Do Ocean Cleanup before the event closes.
- 5Use the whale locations page for exact daily routes.
Limited versus longer lasting
Not every feature ends at the same time. The main seasonal rewards, tokens, collectibles, and pass items are time-limited. Systems like Seamount and the Memory Journal editing window may stay relevant beyond the main event date, so check deadlines carefully.
Rewards and limited content
Time-limited priorities
- Fashionwave Tokens and event exchanges
- Splash Whale furniture rewards
- Limited fish, birds, insects, recipes, and crops
- Sample Collection and pass deadlines
Longer running systems
The event introduces a broader underwater structure, so some systems may stay useful even after the main reward window closes. That is why this page points to the whale location subpage instead of burying the routes here.
If the event does not show up
Check these first
- You are at D.G. Member Level 7 or above.
- The story quest The Answer Lies Within is complete.
- You are using Server Time, not local device time.
- You entered through Whale Mountain, not a random shoreline.
