Overview
This guide covers everything you need to clear this stage — answers, steps, and pro tips.
Your objective: Help Maddie get his attention and win him over.
Maddie has successfully followed her destiny to a charming teddy bear boutique called "Pimpon," where her crush is standing right outside. However, he is looking away and entirely oblivious to her presence. This level uses the action counter system (0/6). You must interact with the store's festive storefront decorations, hidden display triggers, and adorable accessories to orchestrate the perfect icebreaker and completely steal his attention.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Here's the complete solution. Follow these 6 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.
- Toggle the Vintage Street Lamp (Counter 1/6): Tap the classic iron street lamp mounted on the right brick wall to flick its bulb on, casting a warm romantic glow over the pavement.
- Activate the Storefront Sign (Counter 2/6): Tap the wooden teddy bear head ornament mounted in the center of the oval "Pimpon" store sign to make it tilt and chime playfully.
- Animate the Giant Window Bear (Counter 3/6): Look at the right display window. Tap the giant teddy bear wearing the blue denim vest to make its arm wave cheerily through the glass grid.
- Unfurl the Left Striped Awning (Counter 4/6): Swipe downwards firmly on the blue-and-pink striped canopy over the left window display to smoothly roll it out to its maximum extension.
- Unfurl the Right Striped Awning (Counter 5/6): Repeat the downward swipe gesture on the right striped canopy to align both window covers symmetrically, adding to the counter.
- Initiate the Meet-Cute (Counter 6/6): With the storefront entirely lively and decorated, tap directly on the handsome dark-haired boy. He will cleanly turn around, catch sight of the blushing Maddie, and immediately strike up a sweet conversation as the progress bar hits a perfect 6/6!
Pro Tips
Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.
- Simultaneous Canopy Swiping: You can use two fingers to swipe down on both the left and right striped awnings (Steps 4 and 5) at the exact same time, which shaves nearly 3 seconds off your runtime loop.
- Ignore Deep Display Rows: The tiny rows of smaller teddy bears stacked tightly deep inside the left display case are non-interactive structural textures; focus strictly on the larger storefront elements.
