Creativity can bring fun into any game, but especially when playing Stardew Valley, taking an unconventional approach can provide a good laugh while also making the experience unique. Each playthrough of the game introduces a new story and journey, and moments of peacefully farming or rolling in riches with Starfruit fields can be accompanied by chasing down monsters. Bringing threats of violence to the townspeople is less common, but as it turns out, it might not be a terrible strategy.

Reddit lundelli shared their unconventional approach to the Fair, proving that desperation and creativity often go hand in hand. As lundelli explained, they completely forgot about the event, and the beautiful display they had prepared wasn't on hand when they walked into town.

They decided to make a bold statement: placing a bomb in their display. The unusual threat didn't completely pay off — Pierre still won the contest — but a second-place prize can be considered some kind of victory under the circumstances.

The Chaos Of The Fair Day Competition

The Stardew Valley Fair is a perennial fall staple, and it doesn't tend to be a surprise, happening every 16th of Autumn, which always falls on a Tuesday. During this event, there is also the opportunity to participate in a display competition, and preparation can make a big difference in managing to secure the prize. ively threatening the entire town isn't a reliable way to win the contest, but it's one with a lot of flair. Letting Pierre sweep the fair is like letting the villain win, so it's easy to sympathize with the aggressor in this situation.

One commenter, Surax, summed up the threat directly as "Give me 1st Place or I blow up the town!". Another Reddit , Tasty_Lead_Paint, pointed out the gravity of the situation, stating "The fair is the only town event I attend every single year without fail. I love dunking on Pierre." Winning also secures a gift of 1,000 star tokens, which could cover the purchase of a prize ticket that Pierre might very well envy.
