Your objective: Help Riley and Liam have some private time.
Riley and Liam are trying to share a romantic moment out on the balcony during the after-prom yacht party, but a crowd of well-wishing friends is watching them through the glass door. To give the couple some absolute privacy, you need to create structural visual blockages, pop distractions, clear party supplies, and pull the curtains shut to achieve a 9/9 progress score.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Here's the complete solution. Follow these 9 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.
- Pop the Balloon Cluster (Counter 1/9): Tap the large safety pin sitting next to the red cooler chest, then drag it up to the giant bundle of pink helium balloons behind Liam to pop them out of sight.
- Move the Potted Table Plant (Counter 2/9): Drag the green potted plant sitting on the white tablecloth over to the right side of the table layout to shift the background lines.
- Chill the Champagne Bottle (Counter 3/9): Drag the open champagne bottle from the tabletop down into the silver ice bucket on the floor grid to clean up the bar layout.
- Slice the Prom Cake (Counter 4/9): Drag the silver cake server knife from the table runner and slice into the tiered white wedding/prom cake to initiate the catering layout shift.
- Stash the Plastic Bubble Gun (Counter 5/9): Click the blue plastic bubble blower tool resting on the table and slide it inside the open compartment tray of the red cooler chest box.
- Seal the Red Cooler Chest (Counter 6/9): Tap the lid of the red storage cooler chest on the floor and swipe down firmly to lock it securely shut.
- Empty the Melting Ice Bucket (Counter 7/9): Grab the blue ice scoop resting inside the right bucket and scoop out the top layer of ice cubes to clear the floor path.
- Slide the Glass Balcony Door (Counter 8/9): Tap the silver handle of the open glass sliding door frame and swipe it horizontally to the left to seal the partition wall.
- Pull the Indoor Curtains Shut (Counter 9/9): Finally, grab the white fabric curtain edge inside the glass panel and pull it fully across to completely block out Maddie and the rest of the cheering friends. The counter hits 9/9, and the couple gets their perfect quiet moment to end the story arc!
Pro Tips
Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.
- Simultaneous Table and Floor Cleanup: You can drop the champagne into the ice bucket (Step 3) and scoop ice from the blue bucket (Step 7) right away at the start with two fingers to quickly chip away at the total counter grid.
- Ignore Deep Ocean Details: The distant mountain silhouettes, glowing cruise ships, and the crescent moon out in the night sky are purely decorative background art assets.
