Stardew Valley is a game packed full of things to do. Even when you aren’t in the mood for farming, you can rest assured that there are plenty of neat little quests to partake in. This is very true in Winter, a season that is known throughout the farming sim universe as one of the most challenging.

Winter is a great time for exploring the local mines, building friendships, and checking in to all those little quests you’ve wanted to do. Winter is also the season when secret notes will start to appear, each note comes with valuable information about the town, and some even lead to a treasure.

What are Secret Notes?

Secret Notes are hidden messages that can be found around the world of Stardew Valley. There are 25 Secret Notes in total, each that contain important information relating to the game. Each note will be numbered, and you can get them in any order. Sadly, Secret Notes won’t be available until you experience your first in-game Winter and receive the magnifying glass from the mysterious shadow figure.

How Do I Get Secret Notes

As soon as Winter arrives, go to the Bus Stop between the times of 6 am to 4 pm to see a cutscene involving a shadow play. Go into town after him and follow the footsteps to the bush he’s hiding in. Shake the bush to get him to pop out and give you the magnifying glass; this item unlocks the ability to find secret notes. You can now find secret notes by doing the following activities:

• Fishing
• Cutting Weeds
• Killing Monsters
• Busting Stones
• Chopping Down Trees
• Harvesting Giant Crops
• Digging Up Artifact Spots
• Breaking Resource Clumps

When you get a secret note, it will be added to the new note sections of your player collection menu. You can go here to read notes as many times as you like, even after completing the quest associated with them.
