The Lantern Fest Tour is a new Creative map that you need to join in order to solve a Lantern Puzzle. It is featured in the game and you can access it from the quest log.

If you want to get to it right away, open the Game Mode selection menu and go to the Island Code tab. Enter 3691-9667-3697 as the code and press the Play button to join the map.

Once you join the Creative Map, you will have to locate a green lantern and interact with the button present inside it. This will teleport you to the special room and give you 30 seconds to solve a Lantern Puzzle.

The lantern can be found on the western part of the island, so stick to the left side once you enter the map and you'll find it easily.


3) Solve a Lantern Puzzle

After interacting with the button, you will only have 30 seconds to solve the puzzle. However, this is more than enough if you know the correct order of the pillars you need to interact with.

Each pillar has an icon on top of it and this is the correct order:

  • Camel
  • Sun
  • Island
  • Cactus
  • Palm Tree

Once you interact with all five of them, the Fortnite challenge will be completed and you will receive 20,000 XP.
