Niantic's AR games have always been innovative in encouraging players to step outside, and the latest update for Pikmin Bloom might just be their most unusual yet. The newest feature involves visiting your local Italian restaurant, not for a meal, but to discover a unique addition to the game: Pasta Decor Pikmin.
This isn't a sneaky tactic to boost restaurant visits; it's about introducing a new type of Pikmin adorned with various pasta shapes, both common and exotic. These Pasta Decor Pikmin can be found as seedlings at Italian eateries in your area. It's a quirky approach, but one that's likely to draw players out of their homes and into the streets.
The eccentricity of this update is bound to be its biggest draw. While it may seem odd at first, the novelty of finding pasta-themed Pikmin could indeed increase foot traffic to these establishments, much to the delight of restaurant owners—provided they're okay with the extra crowds.
To participate in this pasta-themed adventure, you'll need to update your Pikmin Bloom app. It's a small step for a chance to experience this unique blend of gaming and gastronomy. So, head out and start hunting for those pasta seedlings!
