Distractions and Diversions/Locations

Distractions and Diversions Locations (D&D) is a location guide for the mobile events in the Distractions and Diversions game feature. Locations for Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza and Penguin Hide and Seek change every week on Wednesdays (See Time).

Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza

 * Current location:

Previous locations

 * Seers' Village
 * Catherby
 * Taverley
 * Edgeville
 * Falador
 * Rimmington
 * Draynor Village
 * Al Kharid
 * Lumbridge
 * Varrock - south-east of Lumber Yard
 * Varrock - south of the Cooks' Guild
 * Tree Gnome Stronghold - south of the entrance (near the gate)

Note: From Week 13 onwards, the locations repeat the location of Week 1-12. For example, Week 17's location would be Week 5's location (Falador), and for Week 20, the location would be in Al Kharid (Week 8).

Penguin roaming areas
By comparing the clues given by Larry and the actual penguin sightings, the roaming area of each of the clues can be determined. At different times, different clues may be activated by the same penguin. Sometimes multiple penguins may be activating the same clue. NOTE: The information regarding area should not be used as a basis for your search due to the penguins large roaming areas and that they are in different places in each world. However, penguins cannot change costume during the week. The only exceptions to this rule is during the Hallowe'en events where some Penguins change to Pumpguins (Pumpkin Penguins), or during the Christmas Events where some penguins change to Snowguins (Snowman Penguins).

Locations
General clue areas are given by Larry, located in the Ardougne Zoo near the penguin exhibit, or Chuck the polar bear after Hunt for the Red Raktuber. However the penguin's wander area is often extremely large, and only limited by obstacles such as water, fences with no openings, and impassible terrain. The penguins reset weekly at around 0:00 UTC; the exact time varies weekly.
