Design challenges

Take on a character's request from the Inbox and build the place they ask for.

Design challenges arrive as mail in the Inbox on the Today tab. Up to three characters write in each week, each asking for a place. Their requests are pinned at the top of the mail. An unopened request shows a sealed envelope and request. One you took on shows an open envelope and in progress. A finished one is removed from the list. New requests come on Monday.

The pool of eleven requests:

  • Momo’s bakery corner
  • Boris’s spooky attic
  • Yuki’s night konbini
  • Coco’s boutique show
  • Gus’s big dinner
  • Nia’s new room
  • Momo’s classified ad
  • Pip’s train ride
  • Momo’s town square
  • Boris’s fair night
  • Yuki’s shrine path

Tap a request to open the character’s email. Tap Help out and the character makes the request, one speech bubble at a time. Next ▸ shows the next bubble. On the last bubble, Accept accepts the challenge and Not now cancels. The challenge opens as a scene with the character’s set on the Figs tab’s shelf. The shelf’s dropdown starts with an entry named for the character (Momo’s set). A request you already started says Return and opens its scene.

A locked centerpiece

Three challenges come with a locked centerpiece. Its page says Part of the story with a padlock. It does not move and cannot be removed.

  • Coco’s boutique show: dress the friend on the runway.
  • Gus’s big dinner: plate the banquet table.
  • Nia’s new room: decorate around her bed.

Finishing a challenge

Place enough of the set’s pieces and a card opens. It reads Set complete. and adds a line from the character. The character always accepts what you built. The challenge is also added to your idea card, which lists the set’s pieces, so you can leave a half-built scene and return to it.

A challenge scene is a full scene . Place anything next to the set pieces, take photos, and keep working after the challenge is finished.
