Why this site exists
Cozy Grove is a 2021 life sim that asks you to return in small visits over months. The community has built an enormous amount of knowledge around it, but that knowledge is spread across wikis, patch notes, store pages, support articles and scattered forum posts. A new player mostly needs a clear path through the first week, a trustworthy answer to “what do I do with this fish?” and a way to look up a bear without absorbing a spoiler.
The Grove Lantern is built around those needs. It is not a mirror of another wiki, a review site, or a storefront. It is a small publication with a narrow scope: the original game, its DLC, and the verified current state of its platforms.
What we cover
- The original Cozy Grove (2021), including the New Neighbears DLC and the 2026 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.
- Practical guides to daily play, Spirit Logs, money, fishing, seasons and festivals.
- 21 story-bear profiles with practical roles, locations and unlock context.
- A 180-record fish dataset with sale, burn and first-donation values.
- A daily checklist and a spirit-log planner that run locally in your browser.
We also cover Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit only where readers need to distinguish it from the original. The site does not pretend to be a complete Camp Spirit wiki.
How we work
Every factual layer has a source class. Platform availability, release dates, new-day timing and DLC requirements come from first-party sources: Spry Fox support articles, official store listings, Nintendo's product pages and the developer's own game pages. Community data is used for information the developer does not publish, such as spirit-log costs, individual fish prices and some festival dates.
If a claim cannot be verified at all, it does not become a paragraph. It is left out or marked as unknown. We do not invent a drop rate, a quest reward, a player count, a review score, a patch date or a gameplay experience to fill a template.
The public sources page lists every source used, including the date it was accessed and the kind of information it supports.
Corrections
Cozy Grove is a finished game, but platforms, prices and community documentation change. If you find an error, send the page URL, the correct information and a verifiable source — a screenshot, a patch note or an official listing — to [email protected]. Corrections are made when the evidence is clear.
We do not add unverifiable “personal experience” to a page, and we do not change publication dates to simulate freshness. A page is updated when its content actually changes.
Independence
