Story Background: Who's Looking for Forks?

The core story of this update revolves around a Mysterious Stranger. For weeks, this mysterious figure hiding behind a locked door in the school has caught the attention of Inspector Shepherd. Following a clue of a fork, he arrives at the school and teams up with Tuxedo Cat and Chihuahua to investigate.
Chihuahua plays the role of a nervous, highly alert witness, "No fork could be moved without the dog noticing and reporting it." A detective drama is unfolding on Adopt Me, and you, the player, will be key to finding six bundles of forks.
How to Start the Cafeteria Cutlery Quest

The quest begins inside the School. Once inside, find a locked door marked with a fork. Press E to knock. A mysterious stranger on the other side will speak to you and give you the "Retrieve Hidden Forks" quest.
After accepting the quest, you can view it on the Task Board. Click the fork icon on the page to display the collection task.
How to Find the Hidden Forks

Finding the forks is itself a fun treasure hunt. The forks are disguised as ordinary items found throughout the island, greatly increasing the difficulty, but there are ways to overcome this.
Your pet is your best tool for locating hidden forks. Equip any pet and walk it around the island. When your pet approaches a hidden fork, it will react clearly: a heart-shaped expression will appear in its eyes, and its body will turn towards the item containing the fork. If a question mark appears, it means you are moving away from the target. Approaching the target item will display the E interaction prompt. Press and hold E to collect it.
