Photo Studio Fathers' Day

Walkthrough complete:

The primary reward requires the VIP Pass and is an Animal: an Emperor Penguin.

The Emperor Penguin is a VIP Reward at Level 20, eats Yellow Croaker and produces an Icy Royal Feather.

This is a Merge Activity.  The object is to fill the Ordera that appear to the left of the Map, earning points that increase your Level.  The actual Rewards are found by tapping on the blue Star above the Orders.  The most significant Rewards are given only if you invest in the VIP Pass.  To me, it is worth it to do so now.  The premium Machine or Animal earned both from the Photo Studios and the Treasure Islands will produce items required for special requests in Seaside.

At a higher level, usually Level 15, a Double Point Bonus can be activated that lasts 15 minutes.  Do be aware it only will be activated if your Energy is low, usually at 75 Energy.

If you want to activate this event, try to prepare by waiting until high value Orders are on display.  Make as many items shown in the Orders as possible without filling them, and then bring down your Energy total to activate the 15 minute bonus.  Now fill all the Orders.   The bonus can be activated repeatedly, provided the requirements are met.

Do not confuse this with the Maximum Power Boost unlocked at Level 15.  Tap the switch to use 4 Stamina instead of 1 or 2.  A higher level of item then will be geberated as long as the Boost is activated.

Warning:  It is at a higher Level, often Level 16, that you begin to receive Orders for a Luxury Barbecue Grill.  This is the temporary generator created as the maximum level item by the Camping Cart and its upgrades.  If you fill this order without trying to generate as many items as possible first, you have wasted the generator to some extent.  I always deactivate the boost temporarily, then tap on the Luxury Barbecue Grill until only one more item can be generated from it, and then place it on the top tier of the map.  That way, it will be chosen to fill any order for a Luxury Barbecue Grill.

Walkthrough:

You begin the game with a generator, Small Toy Box that creates Board Games.

At the next level, unlocked when you reach Level 2, the Small Toy Chest, it generates Video Games as well.

There are two Orders at the start but above them is a Golden Key for a mini game.  When you obtain the third Golden Key, a separate screen for the mini game unlocks.

At Level 4, I received the third Golden Key to unlock Dad's Letter.  This is a mini game that gives small rewards in the form of farm aids.

At Level 4, you unlock a generator for this mini game in the form of Digital Camera. It is only useful to create items for the mini game to dress Dad.

At Level 4, a recipe for the mini game: Family Photo Album + Film Roll = Dress Up Gift Bag

This only is useful to dress Dad.

By completing Orders, you get the Film Roll that is the second item for the recipe.  The film roll will appear above the Orders.

Warning: tapping on the camera fills the map with Family Photo Albums!

I personally do not like this mini game.

As with other recipes, drag the Family Photo Album you obtained by tapping on the Digital Camera to the recipe table.  Tap on the Film Roll to move it to a place on the map, then drag that to the recipe table.  A Dress Up Gift Bag will be generated.  Tap on that to send it to the mini game.

By the way, it looks like this Dress Up Dad mini game will be expanding and ongoing.  There is a 'Letter From a Neighbour' Menu as well.  Oh joy!  More pressure to deliver to our neighbours and buddies as if the daily gifts and visits, the visit to the Voyage Boat and requests for items in global chat are insufficient.  As much as I would like to make people happy, what I can do is write a walkthrough.  I find all these incessant game demands stressful and know for a fact that they have resulted in the departure of many good veteran players.  Please do not expect your neighbours to do whatever you do in a game!  Every one is different and games ought to bring relief from stress, not pile more burdens on your friends.

It appears you can send a Letter From a Neighbour once you have completed the reward line of 42 points total.  The Neighbour will receive 10 Energy from your Letter.

Thanks to my friend Kaye for sending one to me so I could log it here.

Actually, I was given the option to send 5 letters when I had 41 points.  There are two tabs: Neighbours and Buddies.  Unfortunately, Kaye's name did not appear and I could not add it.  The Stamina you send is not deducted from your total.

The actual Generator at Level 4 for Orders is Camping Cart.  Use it to create a temporary generator in the form of the Luxury Barbecue Grill.  This generates 20 items of BBQ Food.

At Level 4 or 5, you obtain a third order.

At Level 6, you obtain a new Generator in the form of the Tool Kit that generates Tools.

At Level 7, you unlock the Power Boost.  It uses 2 Stamina instead of 1, but generates a higher level of item when used.

At Level 8, you unlock the first real recipe created at the Board Game Table:

Uno Cards + Grilled Corn= Party Invitation

At Level 10, you gain a fourth order and a higher level of generator in the form of the Camping Van.  No new items.

At Level 12, you unlock the Small Gym Bag.  It generates Baseball Gear.

At Level 14, you unlock the Toolbox that generates both Tools and Electrical Odds and Ends.

At Level 15, you unlock the Macimum Power Boost that uses 4 Stamina.  Tap the switch to the left of your Energy gauge to activate it or deactivate it.

At Level 16, you unlock the second recipe with the Tech Assembly Room:

TV Set + Lithium Battery = VR Headset

At Level 18, you unlock the Large Toy Chest.  Generates no new items, just higher levels.

At Level 20, you unlock the Camping RV.  No new items.

Level 22 unlock the Lsrge Gym Bag that generates Football Gear as well as Baseball Gear.

Level 24 unlocks the third recipe from the Sports Stadium:

Baseball Helmet + Football Jersey = Champion's Trophy
