I froze under the station clock and felt a tiny panic: the Parrot’s question would not accept my phone’s time. You can sense when a game is quietly asking you to notice something others will miss. I told myself to slow down, find the clue, and answer with confidence.
There’s a tall clock above the train entrance that’s almost unreadable — how to actually see the time
You can spot a clock high above the train station entrance, but it’s too far to read clearly. I’ve spent frustrating minutes tilting the camera and squinting at that distant dial; the game even teases you by pointing to the station as a hint. Don’t waste time trying to match your computer or console clock: the Parks Floating Festival island freezes every visible clock at a single time. Rather than stare up at the tiny train-station face, walk Main Street toward the castle until you pass the Confectionery.
There’s a small, black street clock by some benches and bushes next to the Confectionery that’s easy to read. I checked it up close and, as a backup, found the identical clock beside Oswald’s cinema. Those are the ones you should use when the Parrot asks for the island time.
How do I read the train station clock if I really want to use it?
If you insist on the train station clock, bring the camera as close as possible and stand under the archway for a straighter angle. That said, the game designers intended the smaller street clock to be the practical clue — it’s more legible and sits at eye level.
Every clock on the Parks Floating Festival island shows the same frozen hour — what it is
All the clocks you find around the festival are set to the identical time, which makes the answer straightforward once you find one you can read. I checked every candidate spot: the train station, the Confectionery clock, and the Oswald cinema clock all match.
The correct answer to the Parrot’s Parks Festival Quiz Puzzle #6 is 5:00. The game doesn’t specify AM or PM, and it doesn’t matter for the quiz — the island’s clocks are permanently fixed at that hour. I treated it like a staged prop: the time is the clue, not your system clock.
Why doesn’t the island time match my PC or console clock?
Disney Dreamlight Valley syncs most world time to your device, but event islands can override that with set decorations and scripted details. The Parks Floating Festival uses a constant clock as a puzzle mechanic — think of it as a deliberate design choice by Square Enix and Disney to steer you toward a local prop rather than your OS time.
If you want to keep momentum in the event, try the Jungle Critter Combination Puzzle #4, Adventureland Trash Bins Plastic Scrap Puzzle #1, Adventureland Entrance Puzzle #3, or Carnivorous Plants Puzzle #2. I moved through those tasks after answering the Parrot and saved myself a lot of backtracking.
The Parrot’s quiz is little more than a test of observation — some puzzles are a locked chest, and some are a map folded into someone’s pocket; which kind do you prefer to solve?
