Heartopia’s limited-time Movie Guide emojis are like tiny celebrity birds on vacation. They hide in plain sight. Every week, two new emojis pop up somewhere in the world, bobbing around, and your job is to find them before they fly off. You have to chase a bubble, bop it, and claim your prize.
It’s a mini scavenger hunt where the prizes are cute, cinematic birds that probably have better taste in popcorn than I do. If you’re looking for the locations of these weekly emoji hunts, I detail the locations below for you so you can find them easy peasy.
Updated by Allyson Cochran on April 6, 2026: We’ve added the week three emoji locations.
Where Are The Movie Guide Emoji Bubbles?
Each week for three weeks, starting March 21, you’ll be able to locate two new emojis you can use when chatting.
Each one is hidden in a part of the game world. When you arrive at the correct spot, keep an eye out for a bubble moving around the environment, and jumping into it is what triggers the unlock.
Aura Of Scent Emoji Location (Week One)
The Aura Of Scent Emoji is located in Art Street in Main Street. This area is to the left of the central square where the main shops are.
Head toward the piano in Art Street and look around it. The emoji appears floating near the piano, and you will need to pop it to unlock it.
This emoji looks like a bird holding a golden award statue, similar to an Oscar.
Best Soundtrack Emoji Location (Week One)
The Best Soundtrack Emoji is found at Amethyst Beach. Start from the flower fields and move toward the beach, stopping before you reach the sand.
In this area, check the fences and lamp posts where the emoji moves back and forth. Pop the bubble when you spot it to unlock the emoji.
This emoji is a bird wearing 3D glasses and eating popcorn. Cute!
Dreaming Of The Sand Emoji Location (Week Two)
This emoji bubble is located on the left-hand side of Amethyst Beach, south of Windmill Flower Field, right next to the movie theater pop-up location.
This emoji is a bird shushing you. Shhh!
Forest Foraging Emoji Location (Week Two)
This emoji bubble circles Patti’s location on the fence at Deer Tower in the Forest.
The emoji is of a bird foresting greens. Very apt for what you might find yourself doing during the Dreamlight Cinematics Event.
Taste Of Sea Salt Emoji Location (Week Three)
This emoji is located at the south end of Fishing Village Square, by Zephyr Sea, on a roof, in sight of the Lighthouse.
This emoji is of a bird holding a blue bucket of popcorn.
Hearthside Sweets Emoji Location (Week Three)
You’ll find this emoji in Residential Street just in front of Massimo’s location.
This emoji is of a bird holding a pink bucket of popcorn.
