What is the Moogle Chocobo Carnival?
As the 2nd update of FFXV, this free event takes you on a journey to Altissia during a more festive time not seen in the main game.

Carbuncle comes along to provide information and to join Noctis in the celebration.

Fountain Decorations: Decoded
Less "kupo" than "kweh," s' il vous plait, But a star-seated moogle would make my day.
There are less Moogles than Chocobos, but the Moogle must go on the star-shaped gift. Which means the 2 others must be Chocobos.
Answer: Chocobo, Moogle, Chocobo.
Plaza Decorations: Decoded
A chorus of "kweh" drowns out the "kupo". Left of the star roosts a chocobo, A moogle sits on the circle's side; Left of the square does another reside.
Left of the star-shaped gifts must have Chocobos, and a Moogle must be on the side of the circle (first star-shape) and another next to that one. (circle-shaped gift) Then since there is just the last star-shaped gift left, it must house a Chocobo since there must be a lesser number of Moogles.
Answer: Chocobo, Moogle, Moogle, Chocobo, Chocobo.
Staircase Decorations: Decoded
For every "kweh", there is a "kupo"; Between the squares, a moogle must go. Atop the star, one bird shall doze, While another roosts left of the rose.
Between the squares is a circle-shaped gift, that is where the Moogle needs to be. The star must house a Chocobo, while another one needs to be on the left side of the rose-colored, circle-shaped gift. The last Moogle sits on the last square gift, since there must be an equal number of Chocobos and Moogles.
Answer: Chocobo, Chocobo, Moogle, Moogle.
Mini Games
Whack-a-Cactuar
A mini-game located in the Arena Galviano. You have three weapons: A Squeaky Hammer (Sword), a Supersized Squeaky Hammer (Longsword), and a Pair of Squeaky Hammers (Daggers). The goal is to strike the Cactuars as many times as possible within the time limit to rack up points. Daggers will give you the least amount of points, while the Longsword will yield the most. Each round will spawn a Giant Cactuar, giving you a chance to win even more points. They are crucial to winning the mini-game. Warp-striking and Air-stepping gives even less points, so it's more efficient to combo by switching weapons.
Galviano Gallery
A mini-game located in the Arena Galviano. The goal is to use the turret to break as many targets in quick succession in order to gain points. If you stay on the trigger for too long, the gun will overheat and will be unusable for several seconds. Quick succession in destroying targets will give you more bonus points at the end of the game.
Chocobo Races
Chocobo-Moogle Carnival special! Chocobo Races right in Altissia! First race is called Seaside Scamper, and the second one is called Water Trotter. You get Medallions for completing them under the time limit!
Waiting on Maagho
A waiter-server mini-game available on the floating restaurant, Maagho.
Completing exceptional amount of rounds will yield Medallions.
All About Moogles
A costumed Moogle in the Square Enix Cafe wants to ask you several questions. In order to prove yourself as a true Moogle fan, you must answer these questions correctly in order to win Medallions. You get 3, 5, and 10 respectively.

Photo Search
There are several posters set up around the city of Alitissa that give you the opportunity to gain extra Choco-Mog Medallions through the Camera Action available during the event.
