Tales of the Shire promises to be packed with plenty of activities, from growing a garden to befriending other hobbits to hosting shared meals with the entire neighborhood. One of the many activities available in Tales of the Shire is home decoration, in which players can customize each room of their hobbit hole, as well as their outdoor garden space, using a variety of themed decor sets. When designing the furniture, lighting, accessories, and other items available for players, Weta Workshop chose to hew closely to the original Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books as well as author J. R. R. Tolkien's own life experience.
