How to Start a Winter Mystery Quest in Stardew Valley
A Winter Mystery doesn’t require anything fancy to trigger it, apart from simply making it to your first Winter on the farm. Winter is the most uninteresting season in Stardew Valley, especially if you mainly focus on growing and selling crops on your farm, since the only thing you can grow outside in Winter is Powdermelon. Thankfully, other things like A Winter Mystery, for example, make the season far more exciting.
