The latest Dandy’s World update is entirely focused on Finn, bringing a week-long event packed with exclusive rewards, gameplay changes, a new machine type, Twisted Finn reworks, beginner-focused features, and several limited-time cosmetics.
Whether you’re trying to unlock the free Finn rewards, understand the new machine mechanics, or learn how the Twisted Finn rework affects gameplay, this guide covers everything added during the Finn Week update.
Dandy’s World Finn Week Update Guide (June 2026)
Finn Week is a limited-time celebration centered around one of Dandy’s World’s most popular Toons.
During the event, players can complete special quests to earn exclusive rewards, including:
- Golden Fishbowl Finn Skin
- Golden Finn Animated Sticker
- Finn Fan Title
- Exclusive Profile Icon
The event also introduces gameplay changes that make Finn significantly stronger while adding entirely new mechanics involving Twisted Finn.
Finn Week Event Rewards
One of the biggest reasons to participate is the collection of free rewards available through event quests.
Golden Fishbowl Finn Skin
The first major reward is the Golden Fishbowl Finn Skin.
This limited-time cosmetic gives Finn a unique golden appearance and can be obtained by completing the event objectives.
For players who enjoy collecting skins, this is likely the most valuable free reward in the update.
Golden Finn Animated Sticker
The second reward unlocks an animated sticker featuring Finn.
Unlike standard stickers, this version includes special animation effects that make it stand out in your collection.
Finn Fan Title
The final event reward is the Finn Fan title.
This title comes with Onyx rarity and serves as proof that you participated during Finn Week.
Since event-exclusive titles often become unavailable after the event ends, collectors should prioritize obtaining it before the week concludes.
Finn Buffs and Balance Changes
Finn received several notable improvements during the update.
These changes make him a stronger choice in both casual and competitive runs.
Reeling Ability Buff
Finn’s signature Reeling ability has been increased from 33% to 35%.
While the numerical increase appears small, it provides a noticeable improvement during longer matches.
New Machine Completion Bonus
One of the strongest additions is Finn’s new movement speed bonus.
Whenever any machine is completed, Finn now gains:
- 35% Movement Speed
- Lasts 10 Seconds
This change significantly improves his mobility and allows him to move between objectives more efficiently.
For experienced players, this buff alone makes Finn considerably more valuable than before.
Fishing Rod Trinket Rework
The Fishing Rod Trinket has been completely redesigned.
Previously, the trinket offered a different effect, but now it focuses entirely on objective tracking.
New Fishing Rod Effect
At the beginning of every floor:
- All machines become highlighted.
- Machine locations are revealed.
- Visibility lasts for 5 minutes.
This makes early-floor planning much easier and helps teams locate objectives without wasting time exploring.
For support-oriented players, the Fishing Rod has become one of the most useful utility trinkets in the game.
Twisted Finn Rework
Perhaps the most significant gameplay change comes from the complete overhaul of Twisted Finn.
The character now uses entirely new mechanics that create additional threats during matches.
Inkwell Puddles
Twisted Finn now leaves behind Inkwell Puddles throughout the map.
These puddles become hazardous areas that can trigger additional mechanics.
Players should avoid lingering around them whenever possible.
Twisted Barnaby Interactions
The new system introduces a chance for Twisted Barnaby to emerge from an Inkwell Puddle.
When this happens:
- Barnaby can latch onto players.
- A debuff is applied.
- Twisted Finn is alerted to the player’s location.
This creates much more pressure during encounters and forces teams to react quickly.
Teamwork Requirements
Players affected by Twisted Barnaby can be rescued by teammates.
The attachment can be removed through team assistance or eventually falls off on its own.
This encourages stronger cooperation compared to the previous version of Twisted Finn.
New Swimming Barnaby Machine
The update introduces an entirely new machine type.
How Swimming Barnaby Machines Work
Instead of traditional machine interactions, players must complete a special mini-game.
The objective involves guiding Pilot Barnaby through obstacles and successfully finishing the sequence.
Successfully completing the mini-game contributes toward floor progression just like standard machines.
Why This Matters
The new machine type adds variety to gameplay and prevents runs from becoming repetitive.
Since machine interactions are one of the core mechanics in Dandy’s World, adding alternative objective styles helps keep matches fresh.
Aquarium Floor Additions
The Aquarium Floor received several new pieces of content.
New Lore Video
Players can now discover an additional lore video while exploring the Aquarium Floor.
This expands the game’s story and provides more background information about the world and characters.
New Cartoon Episode
A new Dandy’s World cartoon featuring Finn and Shelly has also been added.
Players interested in the game’s lore and characters should take time to watch it during their runs.
Dandy’s Buds System
One of the most interesting additions in this update is the Dandy’s Buds system.
This feature is designed specifically to help new players learn the game.
New Player Experience
New players receive:
- Guided tutorials
- Quest objectives
- Directional arrow assistance
- Improved onboarding
The goal is to make learning Dandy’s World significantly easier for beginners.
New Player Titles
Two new titles have been introduced.
Dandy’s Bud
Given to new players learning the game.
Blossoming Bud
Awarded after completing beginner objectives and introductory quests.
These titles help identify players who are still learning the mechanics.
Mentor Achievements
Experienced players are also rewarded for helping newcomers.
The update introduces four achievements focused on assisting:
- Dandy’s Bud players
- Blossoming Bud players
Completing these achievements unlocks special titles and recognition rewards.
This system encourages veteran players to guide newer members of the community.
Swimming Barnaby Arcade Minigame
A new arcade cabinet has been added to the lobby.
Players can interact with it at any time.
Free Finn Skin Reward
By achieving a score of 100 points in the Swimming Barnaby arcade game, players unlock a free Finn-themed skin.
This reward is separate from the main Finn Week quest rewards.
Because of that, players should make sure to complete both activities before the event ends.
New Tutorial Menu
The information system has been redesigned.
The new tutorial menu now contains:
- Seven information pages
- Updated visuals
- Character explanations
- Gameplay mechanics
- Improved navigation
This change makes it much easier for players to understand the game’s systems.
Code Redemption Location
The code redemption system has also been relocated.
Instead of using the old menu, players now redeem codes through the new redemption section found in the lobby.
If you’re trying to claim newly released codes, make sure you’re using the updated location.
