It’s Fortnite’s third birthday, and the game has changed pretty drastically from its first birthday celebration. It’s more than a little wild to think it’s been around this long. And while it may have lost that new shine, it’s still incredibly popular.
Unlike the past two years, this year’s birthday took place in September rather than July. That’s because July is actually the birthday of Fortnite: Save The World, whereas the far more popular (and free-to-play) battle royale mode only launched in September of 2017, almost as an afterthought and certainly as a clever response to the popularity of PUBG at the time.
In any case, as with the first two birthday celebrations, there’s a set of challenges and rewards for Birthday #3. These are mostly very easy—playing matches and outlasting opponents. The only interesting one is dancing in front of birthday cakes, which is basically a tradition at this point.
See all the challenges and rewards right here.
As with past years, the birthday cakes are massive and fairly easy to spot.But some of these are hiding behind walls or inside buildings. Look for the balloons, which you may spot first.
There’s pretty much a cake for every Named Location on the map (I believe) but I’ve only included the ten you’ll need to complete this challenge. I’ll head out and track more down and update this post as I find them, and you can always let me know if you’ve spotted one not on this list. Just hit me up on Twitter or Facebook (and follow if you’d like!)
Be sure to eat pieces of cake to gain health or shields since that’s another one of the Birthday Bash challenges. Gaining 50 of either will net you 80,000 XP—which is a ton for one simple challenge.
In any case, here’s where to dance in front of 10 birthday cakes for Fortnite’s third birthday celebration:
