How to earn Lanterns in Adopt Me
Lanterns can be earned in two ways: by purchasing them with Robux, and by playing the Lunar New Year Lantern minigame. To purchase Lanterns, head to the Lunar New Year stand on Adoption Island and look for the large spinning coin pictured below.
Interacting with this coin by pressingEwill open the Lantern Store. The Lantern to Robux equivalents can be found below.
If you’d prefer to earn Lanterns without spending Robux, walk to the left of the Lunar New Year stand and look for the sign and glowing circle pictured below.

Walking into this circle will put you in the minigame queue, which may take around eight minutes or so to start.
When the minigame begins, you, and everyone else who joined the queue, will be spread out around Adoption Island and have two minutes to explore the map looking for Lanterns. Each small Lantern you pick up will count as one point, whereas the larger Golden Lanterns will count as 10.
At the end of the two minutes, a pop-up will appear that showcases how many total Lanterns you collected.
To spend any Lanterns you’ve earned, head back to the Lunar New Year stand and select the pet of your choosing. The prices of the exclusive pets can be found below.
