  • The game’s walking requirement has encouraged her to exercise, including reaching 100,000 steps in one week.

Taiwanese singer Dee Hsu says her enthusiasm for the mobile game Pikmin Bloom has become “completely out of control.” She opens it wherever she goes, searches for nearby items and accessories, collects postcards and battles mushrooms.

Friends had recommended the game earlier because Hsu enjoys walking and often takes walks with her husband, Mr. Big. She did not download it until she met influencer Lika Chen on a flight and saw Chen proudly display her Pikmin team.

Hsu said she now invites people who do not play to join her and enjoys walking with friends while sending them postcards she finds adorable. She once walked 100,000 steps in a week because of the game, and says it has made her embrace walking as exercise.

She added that her husband used to criticize her for playing mobile games. This time, he has not complained because Pikmin Bloom requires walking. At a recent event commemorating Yayoi Kusama, Hsu even walked alongside the artist, laughing that Pikmin Bloom is “so relaxing and soothing.”
