To complete the Pillar puzzle in The Winter Floating Festival event, you need to correctly match up the symbols on the pillar with the corresponding number of snowmen on the island. This process can be a bit tricky to solve, as there are four different types of snowmen represented by four unique symbols. These snowmen are:

• The Mother Snowman, represented by a bow symbol. She’s wearing a pink bow on her head and has a pink scarf wrapped around her.
• The Dapper Snowman, represented by a top hat symbol. He’s wearing a light green hat and holding a festive red and green umbrella.
• The Kid Snowman, represented by a classic cap. He’s a short snowman wearing a light grey cap and a grey scarf.
• The Father Snowman, represented by a beanie. He’s wearing a blue and red beanie with a white ball on top and has a blue scarf around him.

To solve the Pillar puzzle, you need to venture around the island and count how many of each snowman there are. The island is fairly large and cluttered, so this can be a tricky process to tackle on your own. If you’re struggling with it, here’s where to find each one and how many there are.

• There is just one Mother Snowman, which can be found in the middle of the circular train track in the area enclosed by a candy cane fence.
• There are two Dapper Snowmen, which can be found behind the frosty pond in the candy cane area and behind the festive winter food stall.
• There are three Kid Snowmen, which can be found under the street light right by the Pillar puzzle, in front of the castle that resembles Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf’s house, and right outside the candy cane fence area.
• There are four Father Snowmen, which can be found under the gazebo right by the Pillar puzzle, near the icy Woody and Buzz Lightyear statue, in front of the ice skating rink, and by the purple cottage near the wishing well in the center of the island.

Based on the number of snowmen around the event island, the Pillar puzzle solution is Bow, Top Hat, Cap, and Beanie. You need to line up each symbol with the corresponding Roman numeral that represents the total number of snowmen wearing each type of accessory, which means it needs to be:

• I – Bow Mother Snowman
• II – Top Hat Dapper Snowmen
• III – Cap Kid Snowmen
• IV – Beanie Father Snowmen

You can walk up to each section of the Pillar puzzle and interact with the blocks underneath each number to rotate them. Keep rotating each one until the symbols are in the correct order, at which point your prize will spawn in a red bag nearby. Mine appeared behind the Pillar, so it took me a bit to find.
