How to Embarrass Mayor Lewis Using His Purple Shorts in Stardew Valley

As a long-time resident of Stardew Valley, I’ve seen my fair share of peculiar events, but none quite as amusing as the ongoing saga of Mayor Lewis and his Lucky Purple Shorts. From the moment you move into your new farm, you can’t help but notice the clumsy antics of our beloved mayor.


Moving into Stardew Valley, one of the folks I met early on was Mayor Lewis, the affable yet somewhat accident-prone leader of Pelican Town. In his quest for friendship, he once misplaced a pair of his Lucky Purple Shorts and enlisted my help to retrieve them quietly.

Instead of just giving back the mayor’s shorts like everyone else, there are numerous chances to inject some amusement into the scenario and maybe even escalate the mayor’s discomfort a notch or two. Here’s where you can locate the Mayor’s Lucky Purple Shorts and discover all the fun ways to make him blush.

Where To Find Mayor Lewis’ Lucky Purple Shorts in Stardew Valley

On the third day of summer, Mayor Lewis sends a letter to a local farmer requesting them to locate his misplaced purple shorts and discreetly return them. Interestingly, it appears that the missing shorts are hidden in an unusual location: Marnie’s room. This clue suggests a clandestine bond between the compassionate animal enthusiast and the town’s mayor. In order to access Marnie’s room in Stardew Valley, you must establish a close friendship with her by accumulating two ‘friendship hearts’ with her.

The hidden motives for Mayor Lewis and the unnamed individual opting to conceal their romantic relationship are shrouded in secrecy. Whatever those reasons, the farmer now has the ability to reveal this secret affair, should they choose to do so. You have an option to return the shorts to Mayor Lewis in exchange for 750 Gold and a friendship heart, or use them to potentially embarrass him instead.

How To Embarrass Mayor Lewis With His Purple Shorts

Here are a few interesting ways you can embarrass Mayor using his lucky purple shorts:

Give The Shorts to Marnie

One fun trick you could try with those purple shorts is to give them to Marnie. Her expression is priceless; she’ll emit a surprised “Gah!” and stutter, denying any knowledge of the shorts. Marnie’s embarrassed response serves as proof of her and Lewis’ hidden romance. Luckily, Marnie declines to take the shorts, allowing you to keep trying to make the mayor blush with embarrassment.

Add The Shorts To The Luau Festival Soup

Every year in Stardew Valley during summer, around the time of the town’s Summer Luau Festival, I embark on a quest to find Lewis’ lost purple shorts – it’s become quite the tradition! This vibrant event, where everyone in town gathers, provides the perfect setup for a good-natured prank. Since Lewis is so eager to make a good impression on the Governor, my mischief just adds fuel to his embarrassment, making it all the more amusing.

At the heart of the Luau Festival lies a shared feast, known as a potluck, where each village resident, such as the farmer, contributes an ingredient to a communal dish, typically a soup. For amusement, you could secretly add Mayor Lewis’s lucky purple shorts into the soup. This action is bound to elicit a peculiar response from both the Governor and Mayor Lewis themselves.

After trying the soup, the governor remarks that it’s somewhat tart, yet flavorful. Then, unexpectedly, he retrieves a pair of famous purple shorts from his bowl, leaving Mayor Lewis and Marnie astonished. The Governor looks dismayed, calls it the most offensive act he’s ever encountered, and swiftly departs. Luckily for you, Mayor Lewis avoids being caught in this practical joke.

Display The Shorts At The Fair Grange

If it doesn’t suit you, hold onto those purple shorts until the autumn Stardew Valley Fair rolls around. This annual event features the Fair Grange Display, where you can exhibit up to nine of your finest items, including top-quality produce, gems, artisan goods, and crops. During this occasion, you could even show Mayor Lewis’ unique purple shorts to the entire town.

After catching a glimpse of the shorts exhibited at Fair Grange Display, Mayor Lewis shows obvious signs of displeasure and offers you 750 Star Tokens to hush up the matter. Marnie humorously nicknames the shorts as “purple lettuce,” implying that she’s in on your joke.

Wear The Shorts Yourself

A humorous way to make Mayor Lewis feel embarrassed could be by adopting his distinctive purple attire, albeit in a creative manner. Since wearing his actual shorts might not be feasible, you can craft an item that resembles them. This involves combining the shorts with a gold bar using an in-game tool. The resulting item can then be worn and paraded around Pelican Town as a playful jab at the mayor.

Should Lewis spot the player donning his lavender shorts, he’d show clear signs of surprise and irritation. On the other hand, Marnie would respond with a chuckle, indicating a more lighthearted perspective on the matter. Notably, none of the other Stardew Valley villagers appear to acknowledge or be concerned about the shorts, suggesting they pose no real threat to Lewis’s position as mayor. Once you’ve given back the shorts, you can collect the 750 gold as a reward for finishing the task at hand.

How To Get Another Pair Of Mayor Lewis’ Purple Shorts

In the latest update for Stardew Valley, I stumbled upon an intriguing development in the ongoing tale of Mayor Lewis’s peculiar shorts. By fostering friendship with the mayor and strategically placing a staircase within his chambers, you can uncover a secret basement hiding spot. This hidden area is filled with barrels, creating a labyrinth that leads to a clandestine room. And wouldn’t you know it, in this secret chamber, I found yet another set of the Mayor’s lucky purple shorts!

Immediately upon grabbing a pair of shorts lying around, expect them to come at you in an unexpected assault! Remember to carry some sustenance and restorative items, or risk being defeated. Each day, you can take on this recurring challenge to amass as many pairs of fortune-bearing shorts as you desire.
