Common mistakes players make
- Confusing flowers and starfish : Purple starfish are a different question; there are 18 purple starfish , not flowers.
- Missing hidden areas : The small hidden pond/nook and some spots near cliffs are easy to overlook, which is why many players count fewer than 22.
TL;DR: For the survey, type 22 for purple flowers (and 18 for purple starfish if you’re doing that one too).
