Stamps in Forza Horizon 6 sit inside the Collection Journal, and each one represents a colored tier you fill by stacking up points from exploration, racing, photography, and online play. The tiers run from Yellow at the start to Gold at the very top, and earning the Gold Stamp turns you into a Master Explorer. The quickest path is to chase the activities that hand out the most points for the least driving time.
Forza Horizon 6 stamps and their tiers
The Collection Journal awards one stamp per color, and they unlock in a fixed order as your point total climbs. Each stamp is also tied to an achievement, so progress is easy to track from the Gamerscore it returns.
| Stamp | Achievement | Gamerscore |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow Stamp | Home Turf | 10 |
| Green Stamp | Sightseeing | 10 |
| Blue Stamp | Well Traveled | 10 |
| Pink Stamp | Find Your Own Way | 20 |
| Orange Stamp | Hey! Listen! | 20 |
| Purple Stamp | What an Adventure! | 30 |
| Gold Stamp | Master Explorer | 50 |
The Journal moves through the same yellow-to-gold ladder as the Festival wristbands, and it rewards a wide spread of activity: open-world exploration, photography, story missions, and online events all feed the same point pool.
Fastest point sources for stamps
Two activities give you the largest return for the smallest effort, so start with these before anything else.
Step 1: Drive through every Regional Mascot. Clearing the full set is worth 5,000 points toward the Journal. Most mascots sit right beside the road, so you can knock them down during normal driving without long detours.
Step 2: Listen to every radio station. This unlocks new parts of the Friends section and the points are effectively free, since the stations play in the background while you drive between events.
Activities that fill the Collection Journal
Beyond mascots and radio, a mix of races, drives, photo missions, and Tokyo jobs all push the stamp meter forward. Spreading your time across these categories is what carries you into the higher tiers like Purple and Gold.
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
Street Races and Touge | Competitive road and mountain races across Japan |
Day Trips | Exploration-focused drives hosted by Mie |
Drift Club Japan | Drift-focused races and challenges |
Moto Auto Zine | Photography and magazine-related missions |
Regional Mascots | Discovering and destroying mascot collectibles |
Tokyo City Food Delivery | Delivery missions across Tokyo |
Photograph Landmarks | Taking photos at major locations |
Photo missions deserve attention because they are quick and reward Journal progress without any racing skill. Tokyo City Food Delivery jobs also stack up fast when you complete several runs in one session and keep earning three-star ratings.
The fastest order to earn stamps
Front-load the high-value, low-effort tasks, then let races and story content carry you to the final tiers.
Step 1: Clear every Regional Mascot you pass while exploring, since the full set is the single biggest point payout for the Journal.
Step 2: Keep all radio stations played through to completion, which adds free points and opens up the Friends section.
Step 3: Knock out Photograph Landmarks and Moto Auto Zine photo missions, which finish in seconds compared to a full race.
Step 4: Run Street Races, Touge battles, Drift Club Japan events, and Day Trips to keep racing points flowing into the higher stamp tiers.
Step 5: Grind Tokyo City Food Delivery jobs in batches, aiming for three-star ratings to push the meter into Purple and Gold.
How to confirm your stamps unlocked
Each stamp pops the moment your point total crosses its threshold, and you will see the matching achievement fire. Yellow confirms with Home Turf, and the ladder ends when the Gold Stamp lands and the game names you Master Explorer with the 50 Gamerscore reward. If a tier has not unlocked yet, you simply have not banked enough points, so return to the highest-value activities, the Regional Mascots and photo missions, until the next stamp clears.
None of the stamps are missable, so even if you skip an activity early, you can backtrack and finish it later. The Collection Journal keeps every point you earn, which means steady exploration of Japan eventually fills all seven tiers as long as you prioritize mascots, radio, and photos before the longer race grinds.
