Mead Fest Mini Game 2026
This page tracks every Hero Wars Mead Fest mini game location, updated each day the event runs from October 4 to October 9, 2026. A new hidden object appears somewhere on the Campaign map every day, and clicking it pays out 1,000 Barrel Keys. That’s a full pull on the Mead Barrel for a few seconds of effort.
So far, every spot has been a simple tap-and-claim, with no puzzle or battle attached. The tricky part is simply finding it, because the game doesn’t mark the location. For that reason, we add each new Mead Fest mini game spot here as soon as it’s confirmed: which chapter to open, where on the map to look, and what you get.
Want to know where those keys should go? Our Mead Festival full guide covers the barrel odds, the shop and how far Robin can realistically go.
Day 2 — Active Now
Today’s Mead Fest Mini Game Location: Chapter 9, Sand Island
Today’s mini-game is in Chapter 9 of the Campaign. Look at the left side of the screen for the sand island. Right in front of the sand castle, you’ll spot a small knot.
Click the knot and the reward drops straight into your inventory, with no extra steps.

Not working? First, make sure you’re in Chapter 9 and not a neighbouring chapter. Also check that you haven’t already claimed today’s reward, since either one will stop it from triggering.
Day 1 — Recap
Previous Mini-Game Location: Chapter 3, Feathered Cap
Day 1’s mini-game was a hidden cap with a feather tucked away on the Chapter 3 Campaign map. Clicking it gave 1,000 Barrel Keys, with no puzzle attached.

Why This Page Exists
How the Mead Fest Mini Game Tracker Works
Hero Wars doesn’t announce mini-game spots in advance, and there’s no in-game log showing where the day’s hidden object is. As a result, it’s easy to open the Campaign, scroll right past the marker and miss out on free Barrel Keys. This tracker closes that gap with the exact chapter, the exact spot on the map and the reward for each day.
Every free 1,000 keys matters in this event. On average, 10,000 keys in the barrel return about one Asgard Mead and around 30 Robin soul stones, so six days of mini-games add up to more than half of that. If you’re jumping in partway through the event, check the top of the page for today’s spot and scroll down for everything we’ve already logged.
