It is also celebrated during a short-term Out of Season Event in mid-February during Season of Love, and in a Time of the Season promotion during Anniversary Month.
During MindBoggle the following are available: Boo'qwurm (and its Rare and Epic variants), event themed Costumes, event themed Decorations, event themed Obstacles, and the Seasonal Island Skin. There are also special sales and promotions, and sometimes new content is released.

Notes[]
- The name likely comes from the phrase “mind-boggling”.
- The element's sigil was teased on the SummerSong 2022 trailer.
- MindBoggle is the last new Seasonal Event to be celebrated during Anniversary Year, and the last new Seasonal Event to be celebrated overall.
- The story found on the sigil is only fictional in the Monster World, and it's likely a fairy tale.
- Some of the MindBoggle costumes reference a classic book. Pummel's references The Rainbow Fish, Periscorp's references Coraline, Bowhead's references Moby Dick, Gloptic's references Pippi Longstocking, and Theremind's references Matilda.
- In both 2023 and 2024, MindBoggle has included a teaser for a new quality of life update that releases in Anniversary Month.
- In 2023, the MindBoggle trailer included a teaser for the new font in a textbook.
- In 2024, a new Psychic Island path could be seen on the MindBoggle loading screen, teasing the path painting update.
