[h2]Fun & Games[/h2]

The Doki Doki Dance Party is an opportunity to strut your stuff for all the Town Square to see. Match the steps in order and on-time to execute strong, effective dance moves. If you and your Soulmate score 50 points or above you'll both earn 40 Romantic Points!

To start dancing, you’ll need a Boom Box. Browse Mansur the Jewel Collector's shop.

Grab your band mates and rent out the special Stage found on the south side of the island for anywhere between 5 to 30 minutes. You won't take home any points or boxes, but Starlet will be the first to tell you: the joy of performing is its own reward.

The Soulmate-Seeking Milletian is waiting on the island with a special request. Provide them with 1 Silk Snapper, 1 Salmon, and 1 Bluefin Tuna to feed their pet seal, Cotton Candy, and they will reward you with 15 Silvervine Fruit and 15 Potatoes! You can only complete this request once per real life day, only on one character per account.


Games are all well and good, but this island doesn’t sustain itself. If you’re planning on spending any amount of time here, ask Wenger about how you can give back to the community and lend a helping hand.


[h2]Daily Quest: Fishing, Cooking, and Metallurgy[/h2]
Doki Doki's old caretaker sure has his hands full catering for all the guests. How about helping out a little in return for some Cat's Paws?

Their unique shimmer makes night-time the best time to find them, but they’re easily missed with the hot sun beating down on the sand.

There are rumors that they’re most prevalent in the Southeast corner of the island…
