Day-One Starter Guide: What to Do First
Your first three hours determine how smoothly the rest of the game goes. Follow this order to unlock core systems quickly.
Greet Every Character on the Map
Walking up to each character and greeting them earns stickers. Any character you haven't approached yet is free sticker progress — never walk past a new face.
Play the Flower Festival Board
Completing the Flower Festival board unlocks the next board, and finishing that one unlocks the third. Board games are also your best early coin income.
Unlock the Food Court
Find Patty and Jimmy near the shopping mall, choose the "help out" option, and complete their mini game. They reward you with a chef hat and access to the food court through the side entrance.
Invest in Sky Farm Tools
Buy the shovel, watering can, and net from Grandma Ume's shop in the mall. Upgraded tools earn more coins per use. Talk to the character near the water to receive a free fishing rod.
Get the Drone Camera
Visit the photo studio and talk to Dear Daniel. Take a photo, talk again, take another with the new camera mode, and he hands over the drone camera.
Hover your cursor over any missing sticker in the sticker book — the game tells you exactly where to get it. Use this before hunting blind.
Sticker Farming Methods Ranked
Stickers are the core collectible, and several methods feed your sticker book at different rates. Here is how they compare.
| Method | Difficulty | Sticker Yield | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greeting characters | Easy | 1 per new character | Do this while exploring |
| Hide and seek in plaza | Easy | Occasional | Repeatable in the hub |
| Photo studio backdrops | Easy | Some backdrops only | Try each backdrop once |
| Clearing Lavo puzzles | Medium | Steady | Also gates the sky farm cave |
| Mini games (all difficulties) | Medium | Consistent | Doubles as coin income |
| Watching the credits | Free | Guaranteed | One-time easy sticker |

Inside the sky farm secret cave, a tree siphons your coins while you linger. Grab your treasure mini games with Chococat and leave — don't loiter.
Coins, Partners, and Secret Shop
Coins drive everything: tools, outfits, and upgrades. Board games and mini games are the most reliable income, far outpacing passive options around the map.
Partners unlock as you progress — Bats Maru, for example, comes from a board game (likely the Flower Festival). Partners matter beyond companionship: the more time you spend with one, the more likely they leave a gift in the secret shop inside the sky farm cave. Walk up, press accept, and your character equips it automatically.
| System | How to Unlock | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Third board game | Complete first two boards | Full board rotation |
| Food court | Help Patty and Jimmy's mini game | Chef hat + cooking minigames |
| Fishing rod | Talk to character near sky farm water | Free fishing tool |
| Secret shop gifts | Spend long stretches with one partner | Equippable accessories |
| Appearance change | Sugar Bunny's makeup area | Free, anytime re-customization |
Chose the wrong face or skin tone at character creation? Sugar Bunny's makeup area in the mall lets you change facial features anytime — no restart needed.
Is It Worth the Price? Verdict & Checklist
Early hands-on impressions are positive on content but mixed on value. The reviewer paid nearly £45 and suggested £25-30 would feel fairer, while still calling it a fun family party game worth recommending — ideally on sale. Highlights include lesser-known Sanrio characters and varied mini games, though CPU opponents can be inconsistent.
Day-One Checklist:
- Greet every character you encounter on the map
- Complete the Flower Festival board
- Unlock the food court via Patty and Jimmy
- Buy shovel, watering can, and net from Grandma Ume
- Obtain the drone camera from Dear Daniel
- Claim at least one secret shop partner gift
If you love cozy Sanrio games, this is an easy recommend. If you're price-sensitive, add it to your wishlist and grab it in the first sale — the content is enjoyable but launch pricing runs high for a party game.
