Photo Studio

I have written walkthroughs for all the earlier Photo Studio activities.

This is a work in progress.

The most significant Reward with the VIP Pass is the Asian Sea Otters when you reach Level 20.  They eat Scallops and produce Sea Otter Cushions.

At Level 25, VIP Reward is  Sea Otter Mom and Baby Decoration.  The regular reward is the Round Fish Tank Decoration.

It can be difficult to remember how it works, but it really is a simple activity.

When you tap on any item, you will see its description in the frame with the question mark icon.  Tap on the little 'i' on the top right of the frame for precise information as to its level in its own 'class' and how to create it.

This is a merge game.  All merge sequences are shown in the book.  Both your backpack and the book are below the frame with the question mark.  Whenever you merge or unlock a new item, access the book to open a gift box to receive a small reward.

I have given the names of the generators and the level at which they are unlocked.  You will find locked squares on the board.  Some simply require merging with the same item to unlick the square.  Others are squares that automatically are unlocked when you reach the level shown on the square.  New generators are unlocked at specific levels.

Slide an item onto a matching item to merge it and create the next level.  Pay attention to the order boxes on the ledt of the board.  The game starts with two.  More are added as you reach specific levels.

There are special tools that alter existing items.  These include the Universal Card (wand), the Splitter (scissors) and the ticket (Ad skip card).

The Universal Card must be placed on the board before you can use it.  Drag it onto any item to merge it into the item of the next higher level.

The Splitter must be placed on the board before it can be used.  Drag it onto any item to merge it to the next item in the chain that is of a lower level.  In other words, it has the opposite effect of the Universal Card.

The Ad Skip Ticket allows you to make an item in a bubble permanent without using diamonds.

Bubbles are created randomly when you merge any item.  They are temporary unless you are willing to pay the cost in diamonds that will make them permanent.  A ticket can be used as well.  Tap on the bubble and look at the item in the frame beneath the Question Mark to use either diamonds or a ticket.

Level 1 Small Beach Bucket creates Beach Toys

Level 2: Medium Beach Bucket

Beach Umbrella ultimately can create the Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove creates items in the form of Coconut Products for a limited total, then disappears

A 3rd Order appears when you reach Level 5.

Level 6: Unlock Ice Cream Freezer

With the Ice Cream Freezer, you can make:

 Medium Spiral Shell + Coconut Meat = Conch Coconut Ice Cream

At Level 7, the Power Boost is unlocked.

Tap the purple switch to the left of the Stamina total to produce higher level items.  2 points of Stamina consumed each time when Power Boost is activated

Level 8: Unlock Simple Submarine that creates Marine Animals

Level 10: Unlock Beach Pavilion

4th Order at Level 10

At Level 12, unlock Small Surf Shop that creates Surfwear

At Level 14, unlock the Advanced Submarine that creates Underwater Treasure

Level 16:  Unlock the Mermaid who allows you to make: Clownfish + Coconut Daifuku = Round Clownfish Tank

At Level 18, you unlock the Large Beach Bucket that generates higher products randomly

At Level 20, unlock the Beach Cabana that creates higher levels of Coconut Trees

At Level 22, unlock Large Surf Shop.  This unlocks the ability to randomly generate Surfing Equipment

At Level 24, you unlock the Air Pump that allows you to make: 

Intermediate Surfboard + Manta Ray = Inflatable Boat

N.B.  i do not know what triggered this, but at Level 16, a timed double experience event became qctive.  I had a little more than ten minutes to fill orders with double value before the event expired.
