Ralph has returned to the village in Disney Dreamlight Valley, and his first order of business is reconnecting with Vanellope through a series of competitive games. The Mini-game Mayhem quest puts you right in the middle of their reunion, covering everything from a dessert-eating contest to a full scavenger hunt inside Skull Rock. A few of the steps are easy to miss, so here's the full walkthrough from start to finish.
How to start the Mini-game Mayhem quest
This quest kicks off after Ralph settles back into the village. He's immediately eager to spend time with Vanellope, and the two of them have very different ideas about what counts as a fun game. Your job is to help bridge that gap across several activities.
Ralph's house dessert contest
Step 1: Talk to Tiana and collect the Dessert Contest Cakes
Ralph's first idea is a dessert-eating contest. Track down Tiana somewhere around the village and speak with her. She'll hand over the Dessert Contest Cakes you need for the first mini-game.
Once you have the cakes, head directly to Ralph's house.
Step 2: Place the cakes and photograph the contest
Inside Ralph's house, walk toward the large dining room table in the back left corner of the room. You'll recognize it as the same table used during an earlier quest involving mysterious blue fur. Look for the sparkling spot on the table and interact with it to place the Dessert Contest Cakes on the display.
After placing the cakes, open your Royal Tool wheel and pull out your Phone to take a picture of the eating contest. Once the photo is taken, speak with Ralph inside the house to move on.

Step 3: Catch a fish for Ralph's fishing mini-game
Ralph's second game is a fishing competition. Exit the house and find any ripple spot near water around the valley. Cast your Royal Fishing Rod into the pool and reel in any type of fish. The species doesn't matter here, so grab whatever bites first.
Once you've caught the fish, stay put and listen to the conversation between Vanellope and Ralph. She's not exactly thrilled with his game choices so far.
Step 4: Ask Peter Pan for a game idea
Vanellope pushes for something more exciting, and the group agrees to consult Peter Pan. Find him around the valley and chat with him. He'll suggest a scavenger hunt, which everyone loves.
How to collect materials for Ralph's Scavenger Hunt Ads
Before the scavenger hunt can happen, you need to advertise it around the valley. That means crafting Ralph's Scavenger Hunt Ads, which requires gathering several materials first.
With all six material types in your inventory, head to any crafting station and build the Scavenger Hunt Ads. You'll produce four ads total, which you then need to place anywhere around Dreamlight Valley. Once all four are down, talk to Ralph to trigger the next phase.

How to find all three buried treasures in Skull Rock
With the ads placed, make your way to Skull Rock, located on the small island just off the coast of the biome. Enter it to officially begin the scavenger hunt. You need to dig up three buried treasures using your Royal Shovel to win.
Where is the First Treasure?
From your spawn point inside Skull Rock, turn right and head up the ramp to the second level. Walk past Tiana and continue forward until you're just before Peter Pan. Look left toward the ground and you'll spot a pile of gold. Right next to it is a sparkling dig spot. Use your Royal Shovel there to uncover the First Treasure.
Where is the Second Treasure?
Head to the top of the ramp on the second floor of Skull Rock. The moment you reach the top, stop and look down to your right. There's a sparkling dig spot on the ground just below your line of sight. Dig it up to claim the Second Treasure.
Where is the Third Treasure?
Return to your original spawn point at the bottom of Skull Rock. Walk straight forward toward the dock, then stop just before you step onto it. Look slightly left and you'll find the final sparkling dig spot. Dig it up with your Royal Shovel to grab the Third Treasure.

How to finish the Mini-game Mayhem quest
With all three treasures in hand, climb to the second floor of Skull Rock and find Ralph standing near the prize counter in the back left corner. Speak with him to hand over your finds and officially wrap up the Mini-game Mayhem quest.
