|---|---|
| Conditions | Combine two snowballs on your island |

Roll The Snowball To Make It Larger
In order to encounter Snowboy, you'll need to roll a snowball on top of the snow to make it larger.
Snowball Breaks When It Hits Obstacles
Carefully roll the snowball so that it won't hit any obstacles. If the snowball hits a tree or falls in the water, you'll have to find new snowball and roll again. In order to make new snowballs spawn, enter and exit a building.
Watch Out For Dung Beetles
Dung Beetles will sometimes spawn under/near Snowballs. They might push or even break the snowball, so make sure to leave both balls where you can see them at all times.
Combine Two Snowballs
Roll 2 snowballs to a large size and combine them together to make Snowboy. In order to get rewards from Snowboy, you need to make two snowballs the perfect size. Read the section below on how to make the perfect Snowboy.
The Snowball You're Pushing Becomes The Head
The snowball which you are pushing when the two collide will become the head of Snowboy, so be careful - don't accidentally put the body piece on top!
Snowboy Will Melt In Few Days
Sadly, Snowboy will melt in about 3 days. If you made a perfect Snowboy, he will give you a new Large Snowflake once a day until he melts away.

Make 2 Snowballs' Size Perfect

▲Snowboy will complain if the size is not right
How Do You Know If The Snowball Is Max Size?
When you successfully make a maximum size snowball, your character will slow down when you start to push the snowball!
Balls Get Smaller When There's No Snow
If you overdo the rolling and make your snowball too big, rolling it over places with no snow will make it smaller! The plaza in your town is a good place to do this.
