Live Your Cosy Hobbit Life

Welcome Home, Hobbit
Decorate your own Hobbit home and transform the cosy space with grid-free placement to position furniture and home décor to your liking. Discover the wonders each new day brings to Bywater as you settle into your serene home for much needed rest.
Food Is Love
No Hobbit’s day is complete without food. Fish, garden, and forage to stock up the pantry with the fruits of your labour. Harvest seasonal crops and flowers as time passes in your home. Enjoy the warmth of the kitchen and show off your culinary skills with recipes for mealtimes. Partake in a second breakfast or host a dinner party with fellow Hobbits. Share meals with invited guests to create new relationships.

Experience the ever-changing weather that affects daily routines and discover seasonal surprises based on the time of year. Meet iconic characters and familiar Hobbit families to trade for upgrades to skills, clothes, home, and more. Join club missions to complete daily activities and help gain official village status in Bywater.
