How to play the Red Lantern, Green Lantern minigame in Adopt Me!
Red Lantern, Green Lantern (based on the Red Light, Green Light game that was popularized by the Netflix showSquid Games) is a competitive, player vs player minigame that challenges you to explore an arena guarded by sentient statues and collect as many bowls of Rice Cake Soup as you can without being detected by said statues.
When the statues are facing away from you, you’re free to move around and pick up bowls of soup—when the statues turn toward you, you must freeze immediately and hold still until they turn away from you again. If you fail to freeze fast enough and a statue sees you, you will be teleported back to the start of the arena and forced to drop any bowls you were holding.
Once you’ve collected a max of three bowls of soup, you’ll need to take them to the Safe Area to exchange them for points. At the end of the minigame, you will be awarded Yakgwa based on how many bowls you were able to deliver.

What is Yakgwa?
Yakgwa is a traditional Korean dessert that symbolizes optimism and perseverance for a fulfilled future, and consists of deep-friend honey cookies that have been soaked in syrup. The literal translation of Yakgwa when broken apart is “medicine (yak) confection (gwa),” which aligns with Korea’s view that honey is a favored natural remedy for sickness! Many years ago, this delicious dessert was only enjoyed by the highest class of people in Korea, but now it’s a household favorite that many families enjoy baking and tasting.
