The Festival Playlist for Spring Series 3 in Forza Horizon 5 features the "Challenge Accepted" daily Forzathon task, which asks players to complete a Challenge Card in freeroam. This means players can't load an easy custom event they want with a code.
With so many event types and icons cluttering the map, freeroam Challenge Cards can be hard to spot. Most people take part in them with a code, or through the Super 7, so this guide will go over exactly how to complete a freeroam Challenge Card in Forza Horizon 5.
How to Complete a Challenge Card in Freeroam
As mentioned, Challenge Cards are mostly played by entering a custom code, or as part of the Super 7 event. However, to complete a Challenge Card in freeroam, players will have to travel to the small pink and blue hexagonal icons. These are random, singular challenges that often appear near the pink Horizon Festival Mexico symbol. Press RB on controllers and untick everything but "Event Lab" to make spotting the symbols easier.
Drive or Fast Travel in Forza Horizon 5 to a card and start it like any other event. As these challenges are randomized, there is no way to tell if the selected card is going to be difficult or not. If players do get stuck on a certain task, quit out of the game and load back in to refresh the Challenge Cards.
If this is a player's first time taking part in a Challenge Card, they will also unlock the "A Wild Challenge Card Appears!" Accolade. Keep completing cards and taking part in the Super 7 event to unlock even more Accolades to climb up the Hall of Fame leaderboards in Forza Horizon 5.
Series 3 Spring Forzathon Shop Items
Players will earn 10 Forzathon Points for the "Challenge Accepted" Daily Challenge (20 if the right house has been unlocked in Forza Horizon 5). These can be used in the Forzathon Shop in exchange for cars, cosmetics, emotes, and Wheelspins. The selection changes every week.
For Series 3 Spring, the shop's hot deal is the 2019 Valhalla Concept Aston Martin for 600 FP, and the 600LT Coupe McClaren is also available for 400 FP. A pair of Gold Leather Boots, and the Duck Quack Car Horn can be purchased for 75 FP each. As always, a Super Wheelspin is available for 300FP, and an ordinary Wheelspin can be purchased for 80FP.
Keep completing Daily Challenges and taking part in Horizon Arcade events in Forza Horizon 5 to earn more Forzathon Points. Sometimes free FP is awarded to players as a seasonal perk, or to make up for server issues. Make sure to check the message center regularly for potential free cars and other rewards.
