Gnome Finder Giddy Park
Did the gnome finder battle for three bulbs how often does it come up? I’ve only seen it once.
Forum Discussion
I set my Giddy Park to Private. When the Gnome Finder showed up I took this footage. I think it's bugged or did I miss something?
mine meter was broke! LOL mine was just black and white. but I had yesterday morning and had the meter come up twice and found nothing. I played again after taking a break and I never saw the meter again even being in giddy park for a long time ☹️

There seem to be a few different buggy problems with it. Sometimes it's all fine, sometimes the meter doesn't work properly (or there isn't one at all) but you can still find the gnome because the pile & its green column of light are there and other times it's hopeless because the pile isn't there at all.
Earlier this morning I had the broken meter & no pile. I eventually tried reloading Giddy Park & after waiting a few minutes the Trolley Target range popped up (the event before Gnome Knight).
I completed that, waited another 5-10 minutes & the gnome event came up & everything was ok this time.
Don't know if it was pot luck, or whether reloading the park helped, but it might be worth trying??
(Note: my park is always private with AIs) @ToastedSarnie
Oh yeah the green column of light... oh well if the game actually ever appears for me again I shall look for that now that I know 🙂 couple of days since I had it appear at all but tbh I have stopped hanging around waiting for it to appear... a good 3 or 4 games of Ops will get you the same amount of bulbs... and much less boring than hanging in Giddy park for hours waiting on something which may or may not appear.- @asabaida Yes, I don't bother hanging around just in the hope it'll turn up. I usually have a few games of Ops or whatever, then pop back to base & leave myself sitting there while I get a drink and see which mini-game is running when I come back.
If it's the Trolley Targets, then I'll do that & wait around but otherwise I just jump back into a game. - @BlixGoblin The Gnome Finder was black and white everytime it showed up in public lobbies. Once I've switched to a private lobby the Gnome Finder worked somehow but didn't help me either as you can see in the video I've posted previously.
Private mode I do not get the meter. I don't even get the trolley shooting event or hidden treasure, etc. I have tried to refresh several times. It doesn't work for private mode for me. 😢
For goodness sake... what another disaster this has turned out to be ☹️ somehow worse when you think YAY!! and then it turns into a hot mess.
- @BlixGoblin Aww, that's not good 😥 What platform & region do you play?
I'm Xbox - if you are too & want to privately send me your gamertag, I could try messaging you to see if you want to join me if I come across it again when it seems to be working???
Only if you want to, of course!!
Otherwise maybe @ippig could file a Bug Report along with his video if he hasn't already? I've managed to verse the Boss in a public lobby by accident. I entered Giddy Park due to some spawn camping at the Plant base when the Boss spawned. As you can see in the video he spawned right after the trolley shoot event:
Edit: @asabaida I will invite you if you are online and the Boss is going to spawn again.
Edit 2: @ToastedSarnie Sorry, didn't see your reply. Yes, I guess reporting it as a bug is a good idea. I'll do it.
@ippig
Wait.... you got the Gnome dude while it was telling you it the trolley ride shooting target the whole time????
Oh well that's not very helpful of it... how is anybody supposed to be able to complete this if the actual notifications are off as well as the meter etc etc., cant find the gnome even when the meter is fully green etc. Oh dear 🤔
Edit: okey dokey that would be cool 🙂 I should keep my Origin open then huh.@asabaidaIf you get a message about the Trolley Targets, I'd go down to Giddy Park anyway as Gnome Knight seems to always appear as the next event after a 5-10 minute gap. If you do the Trolley Targets, it'll move on quicker, rather than staying as an open event until the time for it expires.
Thank you, @ippig 😊- @asabaida Yep, that isn't helpful at all but @ToastedSarnie is right about entering Giddy Park once the Trolley Target Shooting is active. The Gnome Finder meter at least popped up this time.
@ToastedSarnie
I get the trolley target announcement a lot... now I'm wondering whether I have missed some Gnomes as I just ignore the target trolley thing tbh. Did get a chest though earlier when @Iron_Guard8 was in my Giddy Park but normally ignore them too as, like many others, the coins are just useless and I have more 25 million now 😮😃aw, thanks for the offer! I'm on PS4. I'm going to try some more tonight. maybe I just have bad luck. :D
I've seen this event 3 times now. Only got the meter on the first one. I actually like doing the trolley target shoot because each target is 80+ exp so you can pick up a bit while hitting the targets. Then I waited until the Gnome showed up. Of course no matter which side I was playing for he spawned on the other side so the AI could pick on me too lol
I have been having trouble with either events starting or getting notified for them. However, hopping back and forth between the base and park can trigger them sometimes if nothing seems to be happening after 5-10 mins.
- @TLEsquire Agreed, Gold Targets are worth the shot. The Trolley event is a good way to gain XP.
I finally got the gnome today! Spent some time on private mode and then went to public. After being in public for about an hour I finally had the meter popped up changing colors and saw a pile of glitter and clovers and there was the gnome! Thank you! finally
- @BlixGoblin Yay! Glad it popped up for you to do. It's actually a cute event. I like the holiday theme (though the gnomes could have had green outfits lol) and 3 bulbs are nothing to sneeze at either.
- @BlixGoblin Fantastic, so pleased for you!
I got it today in a public giddy park and after we killed the gnome my game crashed...... still got the bulbs though 😃
Edit: make that 2 times today, both times crashed, fun though, it's pretty hectic with plants and zombies trying to kill one target in the middle of the park
Success for me too today... I have had the gnome twice this morning and it all went to plan... notifications worked HURRAY!!
but still not seen the meter since the first time a number of days ago 🤔
Edit: that was in a private Giddy park just to clarify.- @asabaida Yay! 🍀
Green outfits would have been cute! You are right. I don't think I'm going to try for the event again though! LOL too much time waiting.
