I froze at the top of Oogie Boogie’s stairwell, every corner of the Mirror Lair feeling like it was watching me. You realize one missed interaction means replaying the whole minigame. I mapped the room so you don’t have to guess where the smiles are hiding.
The dice near the wheel wears the fingerprints of dozens of attempts. How many Hidden Smiles are there in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
I counted them by hand while testing the Let the Games Begin quest on Steam and Nintendo Switch: there are five Hidden Smiles tucked around Oogie Boogie’s Mirror Lair. You must interact with all five to progress the minigame and move toward Oogie’s friendship sequence.
How many Hidden Smiles are there?
Short answer: five. I verified this across PlayStation and Xbox Series X/S runs to avoid platform-specific oddities, and the count held steady.
The second-floor prize booth still smells faintly of old tickets. Where to find all Hidden Smiles in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The Mirror Lair is a carnival of shadows. That atmosphere is part of the trap: small details blend into the décor until you interact with them. Below I list each Hidden Smile and a sharp pointer so you can check them off quickly.
Where are the Hidden Smiles located?
- First — on the stack of dice near Oogie Boogie’s Lucky Wheel. Go up the left stairs; just after the landing glance left to spot the stacked dice and tap the smile.
- Second — on a skeleton close to the Lucky Wheel. From the left stairs, turn left into the small alcove and inspect the skeletons clustered there.
- Third — on the Whack-A-Pumpkin wall. Head to the middle area of the second floor, step into the Whack-A-Pumpkin enclosure, and check the wall.
- Fourth — near the skeleton by the right staircase. Climb the right-side stairs and look to your right at the skeleton beside the rail.
- Fifth — on the nightmare clock at the back wall. From the top of the right stairs, walk straight to the rear of the room and inspect the ominous clock.
How do I complete the Hidden Smiles minigame?
Method: clear the Mirror Lair floor by floor and interact with each marked spot. I recommend toggling camera sensitivity in Settings if you play on console — small camera tweaks on PlayStation or Switch can make the difference between missing a smile and catching it. Hidden Smiles are breadcrumbs of mischief; treat each one as a required checkpoint, not optional flair.
After you finish, the valley still has more to offer: seasonal Star Paths and festival puzzles reward different mechanics and small prizes. If you want a fast checklist, keep a corner of your screen dedicated to a notes app (I use Evernote when testing), or capture a quick screenshot on Steam and mark the spots before you leave the area.
