The player sees a cutscene showing a "Shadow Guy" (which could beCrobus) gets scared and runs away. After watching the video, the search"A Winter Mystery"is added to the player's diary.
Shadow Guy's footprints lead to a bush next to the playground, on the leftBurgerhuis. If the player interacts with the bush, Shadow Guy will pop out, apologizing for stealing it, the player aMagnifying glass, and then run away. The magnifying glass allows the player to find secret notes while digging, chopping trees, mining, fishing or killing monsters.
Once found, a secret note can be read by selecting it in the top row of the inventory and right-clicking (as if you were eating food). This will add the note to the player's collection and activate the secret note collection tab in the player menu.
Some banknotes feature 'beloved' gifts for certain characters, while others feature images of puzzle solutions. When you read notes indicating gift preferences, the gifts are added to the villager's gift log in the Social tab of the player menu.
Secret notes can be gifted, but so are they alluniversally hated.
