Coo! A MAJOR UPDATE is here: The Bench has just gotten extra comfy
Hey there, pigeon lover!
If you’re in our
server, you’ll know we’ve been pecking away behind the scenes, as we continue to work on The Bench, and today we’re finally ready to drop the biggest update the game has ever received. Whether you’ve already solved every puzzle, found every egg, taken every snap… or you’ve just sat down and joined us for the first time, this update brings a whole new layer of charm, challenge, and pigeon-powered mischief to the park.
This patch has been weeks in the making, shaped by your bug reports, your suggestions, your screenshots, and all the chaos your pigeons managed to create. Thank you for helping us polish every corner of the experience. We read every report, and this update exists because of you.
New Puzzles, New Secrets, New Feathery Friends
We know many of you have become master puzzle-solvers, so we couldn’t resist giving you brand-new mysteries to tackle. New hidden items, new pigeons and most importantly, a brand new mega-puzzle bring ever more to experience in The Bench. You’ll also spot new hats, new skins, and a few delightful cosmetic surprises, including the winning entry from our recent community contest.
A better bench, thanks to you
This update isn’t just about shiny new additions. It’s also about making sure The Bench simply feels right.
We’ve tackled a huge amount of player-reported bugs, smoothed out animations, tweaked layouts, rebalanced interactions, and improved a few systems that needed extra love, with fishing getting particular attention.
Your feedback genuinely shaped this patch, and we hope everything feels more fluid.
Here’s the full list of everything highlighted today, exactly as promised:
• The addition of 3 new golden pigeons and a final secret Mega-Puzzle
• User-requested feedback additions
• Improvements to the Fishing mechanics
• New hats and skins, including the one that won the contest
• Graphical improvements
• Last but not least: Fixes for (almost?) all reported bugs
If it’s been a while, this is the perfect moment to return, meet the new pigeons, rediscover all our comfy benches, and see what’s hiding behind the new puzzle. If you’re already deep into the adventure, we can’t wait to hear what you think of the new additions!
PS: Christmas is around the corner, so keep an eye out for some xmas cheer in-game!
As always, feel free to drop a bug report, share your discoveries, or chat with us on Discord. Your enthusiasm keeps our little world alive.
See you on the bench,
