All Scholar NPC answers for Desert Festival in Stardew Valley

When you make your way to the Desert Festival in Stardew Valley, a Scholar wants to test your knowledge. The questions they ask are specific to the Stardew Valley game, and you have a chance to earn a prize from them.

The questions shouldn’t be too difficult, especially for anyone who regularly plays Stardew Valley. Several of them are tricky, though. You might catch yourself stumbling on them, and you don’t want to miss out on a chance to grab these prizes, namely the Calico Eggs. The Desert Festival is only around for a few days in spring, and you have to wait until next year to try again.

You can find the Scholar in the northeast area of the Desert Festival. During your Stardew Valley playthrough, the Desert Festival is only available in spring from the 15 to 18. Not only do you have to wait until spring rolls around, but you need to have access to the bus. If you don’t repair the bus, the Calico Desert won’t be available, and you can’t access the Desert Festival. You also need to have the 1.6 patch.

These are all the questions we were asked by the Scholar. He won’t speak with you until the Desert Festival officially begins, so you can’t get ahead of the event. You need to answer them correctly for them to count and receive the Calico Eggs at the end, before the Desert Festival ends in Stardew Valley. You receive four questions per day, and they should be different every day.
