What are Haley’s heart events?

Here’s everything you need to know about each of Haley’s heart events.

Event How to trigger
Two hearts Go into Haley and Emily’s home when they’re both in
Four hearts Go into Haley’s home when she’s in.
Six hearts Go to the beach between 10:00-16:00 during any season except winter.
Eight hearts Venture into Cindersap Forest between 10:00-16:00 on a sunny day in any season except winter.
Ten hearts Go into Haley’s home when she’s in
Group ten heart event Under the correct conditions, Emily’s ten-heart event will also trigger the group ten-heart event. In order to achieve this, you must be unmarried, have given a bouquet to all bachelorettes, and raised your friendship with all of them to ten hearts or above – this includes seeing their ten-heart event cutscenes.
Then, entering Haley and Emily’s house at this point will trigger a cutscene. If Haley is the final bachelorette you share a ten-heart event with, the group ten-heart event will happen immediately afterward and is unavoidable. This event will only happen once per save file, and will not occur if you are married, or have given one of the bachelorettes a wilted bouquet or mermaid’s pendant
Fourteen hearts There are three steps to Haley’s fourteen hearts event:
-Go to town between 08:00-15:00 on a day when it isn’t raining
-Wait at least one day, then go to the farmhouse between 06:20-17:00
-Go to Pelican Town between 0:00-15:00 on a day when it’s not raining with a chocolate cake in your inventory
