After getting rid of the Night Thorns, the door with shrink down and a white rabbit will appear out of it. Merlin will tell you to go after it and you'll have to chase it around the valley before falling into a rabbit hole and spawning in Wonderland. You will meet Alice in the new Wonderland realm, but you will be required to complete her quests to invite her to your valley.
Alice will tell you to follow her to the Queen of Hearts' garden, but she will disappear while you follow her, and then you'll have to trace her footprints to get to the Cheshire Cat's tree. He will then offer to help you find Alice, but you need to find three cat faces around the realm before he helps you.
When you're done collecting all three faces – which isn't as difficult as it sounds – the Cheshire Cat will tell you to gather these ingredients from chests:
- 1 x Lemon
- 1 x Butter
- 1 x Tea Leaves
- 1 x Wonderland Salt
- 1 x Wonderland Sugar
- 1 x more Wonderland Sugar
Chests won't appear at random in the Wonderland realm, therefore, you would have to go to the forest and search for bright pink items – such as rocks, logs, and bushes – and interact with them to turn them into chests which will have your ingredients. You won't have to struggle to find these chests, as the items to interact with will be highlighted in pink.
Take the ingredients back to the Cheshire Cat and he will tell you to cook a Spicy Moment, a Sweet Moment, and 'More Time' with the help of these ingredients. The Cat will also give you the recipes for each of them.
- 1 x Wonderland Salt
- 1 x Wonderland sugar
- 1 x more wonderland sugar
- 1 x tea leaves
Ingredients to make a Sweet Moment:
- 1 x Butter
- 1 x Jam
- 1 x Lemon
- Combine Spicy Moment, Sweet Moment, and the Wonderous Pocket Watch
- Eat the "More Time" meal you've created
After all of that, follow Alice's footsteps to find your way around the forest. You will then reach the Queen of Hearts' garden, where you will have to pull four levers around the Queen of Hearts' labyrinth. These will naturally pop up on your path and when you've reached the exit of the labyrinth, you can find Alice – who has somehow shrunk from the last time you saw her.
To bring Alice back to her normal size, she would tell you to go back to the Cheshire Cat and craft a bottle of 'Contrary Perfume.' To make the perfume, you will need four ingredients:
- A jar of Heart Candies
- Discontinued Seeds (which you can get from the matriarch of the singing flowers)
- A small blue mushroom (which you can get from the big blue mushroom at the beginning o the realm)
- The Wonderland Plaque (which you can get by answering the questions asked by a bird with a pencil for a head that sits on top of a stack of books)
After you craft the contrary perfume and bring back Alice to her normal size, she'll ask for your help in freeing some woodland creatures stuck in crates in the garden. Unfortunately, the boxes will be locked and you'll have to find their keys hidden on the table. To find the keys, you will require a lovely dice, lost marbles, and a pack of playing cards. Here's where you can find all of these:
- The lovely dice are on the floor by the white rose bushes to the right of the entrance to this area.
- The playing cards can be found to the left of the table
- The lost marbles are in the back right-hand corner
After you interact with these, you will shink down and find the four keys under some objects on the table. Take the keys back to Alice and free the animals, which will then end the Teeny Tiny Problems quest.
The mess that the animals made after they were freed have to be cleaned and now you'll have to paint the roses red, clear up any smashed plates, and sort out the burrow holes before you can talk to Alice again.
After doing all of this, Alice will tell you to go back to the Cheshire Cat and speak to him about getting some help leaving the realm. The Cat will vaguely explain that you'll need to light the correct colourful mushrooms at the entrance of the realm to spawn the exit door. Since the door is tiny, Alice will give you the contrary perfume to enlarge the door's size, so you can walk out.

When you're back to the valley safely, you can now place Alice's house which will cost you 5,000 Star Coins to build. As soon as you have the 'Welcome Alice' popup on your screen, you can then invite her to your valley.

How a $90M indie film beat Marvel, Disney: Highest-grossing original live-action in years out-earned Mission Impossible
There is a common complaint from mainstream Hollywood that it does not make original films anymore. Everything is either a remake, a reboot, an adaptation, or a straight-up sequel. Then you have the ever-growing cinematic universes, where everything is connected. Original films are rare, and their success at the box office is even rarer. So, it is a 'stop press' moment when an original film, not backed by a major studio, beats heavyweights like Disney and Marvel at the ticket window. Ryan Coogler showed his versatility in 2025 with the Gothic vampire film Sinners. Produced under his own banner of Proximity Media, Sinners starred Michael B Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, and Jack O'Connell in pivotal roles. The film, made on a $90-million budget, was snapped up for distribution by Warner Bros after an independent production. Ever since its release in April, Sinners has set the box office ablaze, minting $272 million in the domestic (North American) market. This makes Sinners the third-highest-grossing film in the US this year. But more importantly, it is the highest-grossing original live-action film in the territory in 15 years. To reach this peak, Sinners beat films like Dunkirk ($188 million), Crazy Rich Asians ($174 million), Knives Out ($165 million), 1917 ($157 million), and Nope ($123 million). The last original live-action film to do better was Christopher Nolan's Inception, which grossed $292 million in 2010. Sinners has not just topped the charts for original films, but also given several big-studio-backed IP films a run for their money too. In the North American market, Sinners' $272-million gross is higher than blockbusters like John Wick Chapter 4 ($187 million), Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire ($196 million), and Mufasa: The Lion King ($126 million). The film has even done better than Tom Cruise's latest - Mission Impossible The Final Recknoning - which earned $151 million domestically. Both the big Marvel releases of 2025 - Captain America: Brave New World ($200 million) and Thunderbolts ($187 million) also lag behind. Sinners, however, has not done wonders overseas, which is par for the course for an independent film not backed by an IP. The film has earned under $85 million overseas for a worldwide gross of $357 million. It still puts it above the likes of Dunkirk and Tenet, but the Marvel films soar ahead because of their high overseas gross. Despite that, Sinners remains the sixth-highest-grossing Hollywood film of the year. And it achieved that on a budget of $90 million with no big studio support.

Miley Cyrus Says ‘Dancing in Little Clothes' Impacted Romance With Liam Hemsworth: ‘No One Wanted to Date Me'
Miley Cyrus is looking back at her time as a 21-year-old when she began 'acting out' and losing everything good that was going on in her life. While not mentioning anyone's name, the singer shared how her engagement fell through because she was 'sharing a part of myself that men wanted to be saved for them only,' hinting at the alleged reason behind her 2013 breakup with Liam Hemsworth. In a podcast called Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky, the 32-year-old went on to share how the troublesome times in 2013, including her leaving Disney and going n*de, massively affected her relationships. "If I kept dressing or acting a certain way, my relationships fell apart. No one wanted to date me,' she shared, hinting at a dry dating spell. How Miley Cyrus' Relationship With Liam Hemsworth Went Astray The singer and the actor began dating in 2009 after starring together in The Last Song. Their tumultuous relationship turned into an engagement in 2012, which was soon called off the following year. The breakup came with a bold moment for her music as one of her most controversial releases, her fourth studio album Bangerz, saw the light of day. Recalling those days, the Hannah Montana star said, "When I was dating, or I was engaged at the time, but that didn't work out because I was sharing a part of myself that men wanted to be saved for them only, and the fact that I would pose n*de or dance in very little clothes or show my body, was making them feel that I was taking something away that was meant to be for them." The Wrecking Ball star added how she had 'really hard times dating.' Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth reunited in 2017, got engaged in October 2016 and married in December 2018. Their relationship came to a close in January 2020 with a finalized divorce.

8 books to read if you love Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a masterpiece of absurdist sci-fi, blending cosmic existentialism with sheer, unbridled silliness. Originally conceived as a radio series for BBC Radio 4, it was later published as a series of novels. The book follows the adventures and misadventures of the last surviving Earth man, Arthur Dent, following the demolition of the Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass. The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is the first in the series and has a huge following across the globe. Besides the original radio series and the novels, the sci-fi series has been adapted for TV, theatre cinema, and even a comic book. If you've finished the series and crave more, here are eight books that will scratch that itch: Imagine Hitchhiker's Guide meets Eurovision (an international song competition organised annually by the European Broadcasting Union), if losing meant the annihilation of Earth. This novel follows Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes, a washed-up glam-rock band, as they compete in an intergalactic singing contest to prove humanity's sentience. Valente's prose is flamboyant, hilarious, and surprisingly poignant, packed with bizarre alien cultures and biting satire. The book's central thesis— life is beautiful and life is stupid'—could easily be Adams' own. If you love cosmic absurdity with heart, this is a must-read. Based on the cult British sci-fi series, this novel follows the last human in existence (a slob named Lister), his hologram roommate (the endlessly sarcastic Rimmer), a neurotic android, and a creature evolved from Lister's cat. Stranded on the mining ship Red Dwarf, they bumble through time paradoxes, sentient vending machines, and petty arguments about curry. The humour is quintessentially British: dry, absurd, and packed with existential dread. If you love Hitchhiker's blend of sci-fi, this is your next read. This book is Hitchhiker's meets Lovecraftian horror, if Arthur Dent stumbled into a dimension-hopping drug trip. The story follows Dave and John, two slackers who gain the ability to perceive alternate realities after taking a mysterious substance called Soy Sauce. What follows is a chaotic mix of time loops, meat monsters, and existential horror, all delivered with deadpan humour. Wong's writing is as unpredictable as Adams', blending the ridiculous with the profound. If you enjoyed the weirder, darker corners of Hitchhiker's, this is a wild ride. It isn't fiction, but Munroe's book matches Hitchhiker's energy. The creator of xkcd, a serial webcomic created in 2005, applies rigorous science to questions such as: what if you tried to hit a baseball at near-light speed or could you build a jetpack using machine guns. The answers are hilarious, hyper-literal, and often terrifying. If you loved the Guide's footnotes and pseudo-scientific tangents, this is the perfect nonfiction companion. If you haven't read Adams' other great series, you're missing out. Dirk Gently swaps space for time travel, ghosts, and a detective who believes in the 'fundamental interconnectedness of all things.' The plot involves an electric monk (a device resembling a human being and created for the purpose of believing things), a time-traveling professor, and a sofa stuck in a staircase. It is just as witty and bizarre as Hitchhiker's. Essential reading for Adams fans. This genre-bending novel is set in a post-apocalyptic world where reality itself has been warped by 'Go Away Bombs', weapons that erase things from existence. The narrator, a martial artist and former government operative, recounts his life in a world where unwritten things can suddenly manifest. Harkaway's writing is dense, philosophical, and laugh-out-loud funny, with Adams-esque tangents and a deeply weird sense of humor. If you like sci-fi that's both smart and ridiculous, this is a gem. If you've only read Hitchhiker's Guide (Book 1), stop everything and read this sequel. The novel doubles down on the absurdity, featuring a five-star eatery at the literal end of time, the worst poet in the universe, and the revelation that Earth was actually a supercomputer designed to find the Ultimate Question. Marvin the Paranoid Android gets even more hilariously depressed, and Zaphod's ego reaches new heights. It's peak Adams, irreverent, clever, and endlessly quotable. Other books you could check out include, The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut, All Systems Red by Martha Wells and Welcome to Night Vale by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor.
