The Genshin Impact Secret Summer Paradise event runs from July 5, 2023, to August 16, 2023, bringing with it a limited-time area called the Veluriyam Mirage. During the event, you can participate in a plethora of Attractions, including the Bing-Bang Finchball—a game where you score points by landing Finchballs further into the table. It reminds me a lot of table hockey, which I played a lot in the arcades as a child, so it's by far my favorite mini-game in the event!
How to unlock the Bing-Bang Finchball mini-game in Genshin Impact
After unlocking the event, complete the first Summer Serendipity Chapter called Secret Summer Paradise: Part I - An Invitation From Afar! Doing so will unlock the Attractions section of the event menu, where you can participate in a plethora of mini-games within the Veluriyam Mirage. You'll also receive a separate Event Quest to initiate each mini-game.
Complete the Event Quest called Aren't Finches the Cutest? to unlock the Bing-Bang Finchball mini-game, which involves a Finchball-throwing game in the Pavilion of Hermits.
How to play Bing-Bang Finchball in the Genshin Impact Secret Summer Paradise event
The Finchball will continuously move from side to side. Once it reaches a point where you want to aim, hold the Jump button and release it to launch the Finchball based on the trajectory of the arrow. The longer you hold, the stronger the launch will be, just like a rocket.
Your goal is to ensure that the Finchball lands on one of the three sections at the top of the table. Each section represents the number of points the Finchball will add to your score:
- Blue - one point
- Orange - two points
- Pink - four points
You must know that the Finball will recoil upon hitting objects and other Finchballs. This means that aiming for the top of the table won't guarantee that it will land on the pink box. Use the surrounding "blockers" and unique Finchball skills to help you score more points.
Finchballs can also be moved by other Finchballs. In the example above, I aimed the new Finchball toward an existing one, which forced the existing one upward and reduced the impact of the new ball's trajectory, allowing both of them to sit along the four-point line. Try using this trick to help you score more points!
Each stage looks different, so you need to adjust to different playing environments. Special Finchballs will also appear as you progress. These have unique skills that you can take advantage of to score as many points as possible.
To claim rewards, head to the event menu, select Attractions, and select Bing-Bang Finchball to claim rewards for your effort. You need 10 points to get all rewards, but only four points for the Primogems. I had to redo some stages multiple times to get the four points, so just be patient if you're struggling, and try to use different shooting angles and intensities to your advantage.
