Explore the Gardenscapes Hall of Fame event, including how Trials work, which medals players can earn, available rewards, and what remains unconfirmed about the event.
A new challenge system called Hall of Fame has appeared in Gardenscapes, giving players another way to earn rewards for their in-game progress. Instead of focusing on a single activity, it brings together challenges involving Match-3 levels, Expeditions, Card Collections, team events, and competitions.
The first clues surfaced in community discussions, where players reported finding references to Hall of Fame in the files of Gardenscapes version 9.9.0. Early speculation suggested a possible launch with version 10.0.0. Since then, a player screenshot has provided the first evidence of the feature appearing in the game.
What Exactly Is Hall of Fame?
Hall of Fame is an achievement system built around challenges called Trials. Completing these challenges earns players medals that contribute toward additional rewards. Unlike events centered on a single activity, Hall of Fame connects objectives from several parts of Gardenscapes.
That approach is particularly interesting in a game where event availability can vary from player to player. It also gives players an extra reason to participate in activities they might otherwise skip.
How Does Progress Work?
- Trials: Players receive specific objectives connected to different in-game activities.
- Medals: Completing a Trial awards the corresponding medal.
- Rewards: Earned medals contribute toward progress and additional rewards.
Players can work toward the main reward, with "Trial Master!" appearing as the final reward title.
What Challenges Are Included in Hall of Fame?
The initial community findings describe a fairly extensive Trials system. The following activities were mentioned in material reportedly based on the version 9.9.0 game files.
Important: These are potential challenges identified through community reports, not a confirmed list of missions that are all available simultaneously. The complete contents of the game files have not been independently verified.
1. Match-3 Levels
One category involves completing a certain number of levels. Reports also mention Super Hard Levels, suggesting that some Trials may require more than steady progress through regular puzzles.
2. Card Collections
Card Collections appear to be part of the system as well, with objectives involving Golden Cards and progress through the card album.
For the Full House medal, one player reported a requirement to collect 10 Gold Cards. The Trial had not been active during the previous collection but became available when the Magic Collection began.
3. Expeditions
Expeditions are reportedly connected to earning the Explorer and Grand Explorer titles, which may serve as requirements for specific medals.
That could make finishing an Expedition's storyline even more worthwhile, adding another incentive beyond the usual exploration rewards.
4. Competitions and Rankings
The early findings also mention challenges tied to competitions such as:
- Helicopter Dash — Winning the competition.
- Golf Masters — Finishing in the top three.
- Catch a Wave — Placing among the top three players.
If these requirements remain part of the system, earning certain medals will depend on competitive performance rather than simply completing activities.
5. Special Events
Other reported challenges involve Blackberry Treasures, Explosive Rewards, Gardening Duties, Gnome Treasures, and Secret Passage.
The list also mentions Electric Showdown (an event that has since been discontinued). Its inclusion suggests that the original material contains content from different periods of Gardenscapes history. It does not mean every listed event remains active or will appear in each Hall of Fame cycle.
6. Teamwork, Coins, and Garden Progress
Hall of Fame also appears to recognize progress beyond individual competitions. The initial findings mention:
- Earning points in Team Chest.
- Collecting coins from levels and events.
- Spending stars on garden tasks.
- Creating boosters during gameplay.
- Unlocking the Bonus Bank in Garden Pass.
These objectives suggest a broader approach to achievements, rewarding everything from team contributions to everyday garden development.
Hall of Fame Medal Names Revealed So Far
Each Trial has its own medal name. The original community list includes:
- Billionaire
- Royal Flush
- Berry Boom
- Big Bang
- Teamwork
- Collector
- Gardener
- Gem Hunter
- Marksman
- Pathfinder
- Surfer
A later screenshot shows additional names, including Millionaire, Grandmaster, Pilot, and Seeker. The accompanying discussion also mentions Full House.
The different names raise an interesting possibility: Hall of Fame may draw challenges from a larger pool rather than offering the same medals in every cycle. More gameplay evidence will be needed to establish whether that is how the system works.
Why Do Some Players Have Hall of Fame While Others Don't?
Gardenscapes uses different testing groups, and Expeditions can start at different times depending on the account.
Hall of Fame could follow a similar rollout pattern, initially appearing for a limited group of players. Not seeing the feature does not necessarily indicate a problem with an account.
Whether Hall of Fame is undergoing A/B testing, a gradual rollout, or another type of limited release has not yet been established.
What Should Players Watch Out for When They Get Access?
Players who receive Hall of Fame access should pay attention to a few details before pursuing every medal.
- Check which challenges are active and which display Coming Soon.
- Read each medal's exact requirements before spending coins or boosters.
- Watch the expiration dates of Trials and their associated events.
- Don't assume an activity completed before a Trial activates will count retroactively.
- If a completed objective isn't recognized, save screenshots of your progress and event details before contacting Support.
Resource management matters, too. Combining objectives from several events could increase the amount of coins and boosters needed to collect every medal. The potential rewards are worth comparing with the resources required to earn them.
What's Confirmed and What Remains Unknown?
| Information | Status |
|---|---|
| Hall of Fame appears in Gardenscapes | Confirmed by a player screenshot |
| The system includes Trials and medals | Confirmed |
| One event cycle features 13 medals | Confirmed for the account shown |
| Main reward of 5,000 coins | Confirmed in the specific screenshot |
| Full House requires 10 Gold Cards | Reported by a player with access to the event |
| Hall of Fame content in version 9.9.0 files | Community report; game files not independently verified |
| General release in version 10.0.0 | Not confirmed |
| Availability to all accounts | Not confirmed |
| Seeker medal activation issue | Reported case; no official explanation available |
The competitive requirements deserve particular attention. If Hall of Fame includes ranking-based Trials, the pressure of timed competitions could influence how players approach their medal goals and decide which challenges are worth pursuing.
Conclusion
Hall of Fame introduces an interesting idea to Gardenscapes: recognizing achievements across multiple activities through one connected challenge and reward system.
The early version 9.9.0 reports offered clues about its design, while subsequent player evidence shows that at least part of the feature is already active.
The remaining questions concern its wider availability, the complete medal pool, how individual Trials activate, and whether progress is affected when related events end.
What matters most in the long run is whether Hall of Fame becomes a permanent feature that gives greater value to players' overall activity throughout the game. Until more evidence emerges, its full mechanics remain an open question.
There's still room in the trophy case, and Gardenscapes seems ready to keep players busy filling it. Just don't expect the next medal to come with a participation ribbon.
