Christmas Village — Complete Walkthrough

Activities & BusinessesSimplified Chinese availableV0.9.6.0
Guide noticeThis page contains gameplay and story spoilers and may describe mature systems.

Christmas Village is a permanent, player-controlled event hub in the Future Fringe Zone. It contains the Claw Machine, Candy Cane collection, Christmas Tokens, three full relationship routes, 25 cross-world Christmas tasks, 11 special Gift scenes, Christmas Hold'em integration, Extras milestones, and several permanent rewards.

This walkthrough was verified against the current game implementation. It includes task requirements, reward mechanics, Claw Machine weights, and current-build quirks, so it contains extensive spoilers.

Important current-build note: Christmas Village is not restricted to December and does not require a redeem code. Its entrance is always registered at the Sky-Level Atmospheric Management Station. The Christmas Spirit toggle activates the game-wide event layer; it does not unlock or remove the village itself.

Table of Contents

Quick Completion Route

For a reliable start and an efficient route through the whole system:

  1. Unlock normal travel to the Future era.
  2. Go to Future → Fringe Zone → Sky-Level Atmospheric Management Station.
  3. Select Christmas Village. The first visit automatically plays Welcome to Christmas Village, gives +10 relationship with Ginger, Holly, and Noella, lets one of them receive another +5 through your choice, and awards 1 Christmas Token.
  4. Select Toggle Christmas Spirit until the Christmas counter strip appears at the lower-right of the location screen. You can also switch Christmas: ON/OFF from the Relationships screen.
  5. Visit all three residents. They are present 24 hours a day:
    • Ginger — Gingerbread House
    • Holly — Winter Wonderland
    • Noella — Mistletoe Lodge
  6. Click the Christmas checklist icon beside the counters and review Holly's Christmas Tasks. The checklist tracks 25 tasks spread throughout the game.
  7. Collect the two nearby Candy Canes in Christmas Village and Mistletoe Lodge, then collect the other 21 world spawns as you travel.
  8. Spend the introductory Token at the Claw Machine if you want an early chance at Christmas Spirit, Christmas Wreath, a Crystal, or a Gift. The roll is random and can miss.
  9. Raise all three Christmas residents. Every relationship stage from Known through Intimate gives a +1 Token plot; In Love gives +2.
  10. Give Claw Machine Hot Chocolate to a resident after Known for a strong +10 base relationship action.
  11. Trade Candy Canes with Ginger in batches of 10. Each batch gives 1 Token and +10 base Ginger relationship. Continue until the lifetime traded counter reaches 150 to trigger all five candy milestones.
  12. Complete the 25 tasks. Tasks 18 → 19 → 20 → 25 form a strict Search-and-Dungeon chain and should be done in that order.
  13. Raise eligible non-Christmas NPCs to Close Friend, win Gifts from the Claw Machine, and use each Gift at the NPC's required location. Each Gift scene gives +100 relationship and completes an Extras entry.
  14. Ask Noella to Check the List. Visit her again when Extras completion reaches 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60%. At 80%, use Noella's Reward for her repeatable final scene and +2 Tokens.
  15. Keep playing the Claw Machine until you have the one-time Christmas Spirit skill and Christmas Wreath key item. If you own the brothel, also pursue the Velvet Ribbon and eligible worker outfit upgrades.

The system has no single all-purpose finale flag. True completion means clearing the individual checklists in the 100% Completion Checklist.

Access and the Christmas Toggle

How to reach the village

Use this route:

Future → Fringe Zone → Sky-Level Atmospheric Management Station → Christmas Village

The entrance action costs no in-game time. There is no Christmas redeem code, real-world calendar check, relationship requirement, or separate quest unlock.

What Toggle Christmas Spirit actually controls

Turning Christmas Spirit ON enables:

  • The Christmas resource counter strip and 25-task checklist button.
  • Clickable Candy Cane pickups at 23 locations.
  • All Christmas-task actions that are otherwise hidden.
  • Special Gift actions for eligible Close Friend NPCs.
  • The stranded Christmas elf Search encounter for Task 18.
  • Tinsel's progressive dungeon encounters for Tasks 19, 20, and 25.

Turning it OFF hides or suspends those event-layer activities. It does not erase progress, consume resources, remove permanent rewards, or make the village disappear.

The following remain accessible even with the toggle off in the current build:

  • Christmas Village and its three sub-locations.
  • Ginger, Holly, and Noella's ordinary relationship actions.
  • Ginger's Candy Cane trade, if you already hold at least 10 canes.
  • The Claw Machine and its odds screen, if you already have Tokens.
  • Noella's Extras actions.

The toggle is stored as a persistent setting, so its state can carry between saves. If event actions seem to be missing, confirm that the counter strip is visible rather than assuming the event has ended.

Village Map

All village travel actions cost 0 minutes.

Location Resident / system Important actions
Christmas Village Village hub Toggle Christmas Spirit, Claw Machine, View Prize Odds, entrances to all three homes, exit to Weather Control
Gingerbread House Ginger Relationship actions, trade 10 Candy Canes for 1 Token, Task 2
Winter Wonderland Holly Relationship actions, Task 3, Holly's task-milestone plots
Mistletoe Lodge Noella Relationship actions, Check the List, Noella's Reward, Task 1

The three residents are scheduled at their home locations 24/7 on every day.

Christmas Resources

The lower-right event strip displays the four useful event resources. Coal has its own saved counter but is not displayed in the expanded strip.

Resource Main source Main use
Christmas Token Intro, plots, tasks, Candy Cane trades, some redeem-code packs Pays for Claw Machine plays
Hot Chocolate Claw Machine +10 base relationship action with Ginger, Holly, or Noella after Known
Candy Cane World pickups and Claw Machine Trade 10 to Ginger for 1 Token; advances Ginger's lifetime-candy milestones
Special Gift Claw Machine or holiday reward packs Unlocks one special scene with one of 11 eligible Close Friend NPCs
Coal Conditional Claw Machine result Increments the Coal counter; it has no positive use in the current build

These are counters rather than normal Inventory-screen consumables. They are saved with the Christmas system.

The Claw Machine immediately spends 1 Token when a play begins. A MISS and Coal do not refund it.

Candy Cane Collection

Pickup rules

With Christmas Spirit ON, a small Candy Cane appears as a clickable object at each eligible location.

  • Each pickup gives 1 Candy Cane.
  • Each location has its own cooldown.
  • A collected cane becomes eligible again on current day + 2.
  • Revisit the location after the cooldown so the game can refresh that spawn.
  • There are 23 spawn locations, allowing 23 canes per complete fresh sweep.

One full sweep therefore funds two Ginger trades, leaving three canes toward the next batch.

Efficient sweep

Do the pickups alongside other goals rather than making a dedicated 23-stop trip every time:

  • Present stops overlap Emily, Bella, Abby, Miki, Portia, Vera, Rachel, Lucy, and several Christmas tasks.
  • Medieval stops overlap Lyra, Hailey, Sandra, Nerida, and dungeon access.
  • Future stops overlap Nova and Ghost content.
  • Collect the two village canes whenever you return to trigger milestone plots.

Christmas Token Sources

Direct repeatable or progressive sources

Source Token reward
Trade 10 Candy Canes to Ginger +1 per trade
Each of Holly's Tasks 1–24 +1
Holly's Task 25, Save Tinsel from Krampus +3
Noella's repeatable 80% Extras reward +2 per completed reward scene
Holiday redeem-code reward packs Varies by code

One-time plot sources

Plot group Total Tokens
Welcome to Christmas Village 1
Ginger relationship stages, Known through In Love 9
Holly relationship stages, Known through In Love 9
Noella relationship stages, Known through In Love 9
Holly task milestones at 5/10/15/20/25 6
Ginger candy milestones at 25/50/75/100/150 6
Noella Extras milestones at 15/30/45/60 4
First use of Noella's 80% repeatable reward 2

Each resident gives +1 at Known, Acquaintance, Friend, Close Friend, Crush, Romantic, and Intimate, then +2 at In Love. That is 9 Tokens per full relationship route.

The 25 tasks give 27 Tokens directly. Their five Holly milestone plots add another 6, for 33 Tokens total from clearing the full checklist and visiting Holly after each threshold.

Claw Machine

Basic rules

  • Location: Christmas Village square.
  • Cost: 1 Christmas Token.
  • Time: 5 minutes per play.
  • Result: one weighted roll from the currently eligible prize pool.
  • Use View Prize Odds beside the machine to see the current calculated percentages.

The pool changes as you win one-time prizes, activate brothel workers, reach worker outfit caps, own the brothel, or exhaust the free Gift allowance. Percentages therefore cannot be represented by one permanent table.

Prize weights

The percentage for an entry is:

entry weight ÷ total weight of every currently eligible entry × 100

Prize Free weight Premium weight Eligibility / limit
Hot Chocolate 20 20 Always
Candy Cane 20 20 Always
Teddy Bear 15 15 Always
Lingerie 10 10 Always
Jewelry 10 10 Always
Special Gift 5 10 Free: removed after the first Gift ever; Premium: unlimited
Worker Clothing Upgrade 3 per eligible active worker 3 per eligible active worker Worker below clothing level 5 and below version-specific win cap
Christmas Wreath 2 7 Removed permanently after it is won
Christmas Spirit 10 10 Removed permanently after it is learned
500 Wealth 15 15 Always
1 Crystal 10 10 Always
Coal 15 15 Conditional; not present in a normal pool unless its condition is active
Velvet Ribbon 3 3 Only while the brothel is owned
MISS 50 20 Always

Baseline example

Before clothing entries, Velvet Ribbon, or Coal are added—and while Gift, Wreath, and Christmas Spirit remain available—the baseline pool totals are:

  • Free: 167 total weight; MISS is about 29.9%.
  • Premium: 147 total weight; MISS is about 13.6%.

Every eligible worker outfit adds another 3 to the denominator. Winning Wreath or Christmas Spirit removes its entry and recalculates every other percentage. Treat the in-game odds screen as authoritative for your current state.

Prize effects

Prize Actual effect
Hot Chocolate Adds 1 event Hot Chocolate
Candy Cane Adds 1 event Candy Cane
Teddy Bear Adds 1 Teddy consumable
Lingerie Adds 1 Lingerie consumable
Jewelry Adds 1 Jewelry consumable
Special Gift Adds 1 event Gift for an eligible Close Friend scene
Worker Clothing Upgrade Raises one randomly selected eligible active worker's clothing level by 1
Christmas Wreath Permanent key item: +5% brothel income and +5% brothel reputation
Christmas Spirit Permanent skill: doubles relationship-point calculations with Ginger, Holly, and Noella
500 Wealth Immediately adds 500 Wealth
1 Crystal Immediately adds 1 Crystal
Coal Adds 1 to the Coal counter; no useful reward
Velvet Ribbon Adds the rare worker item: +15% assigned-worker income and +3 Appearance
MISS No reward

Worker Clothing Upgrade rules

Only active workers in the machine's supported outfit list can be rolled. A worker contributes weight only while below clothing level 5 and below the per-worker Claw win cap.

  • Free build: 1 Claw clothing win per worker.
  • Premium build: 2 Claw clothing wins per worker.
  • Each eligible worker contributes weight 3 separately.
  • The prize name identifies the worker whose outfit was upgraded.

Supported workers are:

Elara, Sophie, Honey, Sandra, Grace, Raven, Shadow, Foxy, Bellavia, Valkyra, Lindia, Ava & Eva, Gem, Jade, Brandy, Willow, Vixen, Kasumi, A.R.I.A., Vespa, Audrey, Whiskers, Momosagi, Maize, and Pepper.

Current odds-screen omission

The real prize pool adds Velvet Ribbon at weight 3 when the brothel is owned. The current odds display builds that entry but does not include Velvet Ribbon in the final list it renders. As a result, the shown percentages use the Ribbon's weight in the denominator but do not show a Ribbon row. The prize can still be won.

Ginger, Holly, and Noella

Shared relationship stages

All three use the universal thresholds:

Stage Relationship points
Stranger 0
Acknowledged 10
Known 25
Acquaintance 50
Friend 100
Close Friend 200
Crush 400
Romantic 800
Intimate 1,600
In Love 3,000

Shared actions

Action Requirement Time Cost Base relationship Daily limit
Talk Stranger 25 min None +1 7
Give Chocolate Acquaintance 20 min 1 Chocolate +3 7
Give Hot Chocolate Known 20 min 1 event Hot Chocolate +10 80

The listed gains are base values. Favorite-stat bonuses, alignment bonuses, key items, buffs, attractiveness rolls, and the resident's special skill can modify the final award.

Christmas Spirit skill synergy

Ginger, Holly, and Noella all use Christmas Spirit as their character special skill. Once the player owns that skill, the relationship calculation doubles before later bonuses and random range conversion. Winning it early greatly reduces the grind to 3,000 points.

Favorite-stat bonuses

Meeting each listed threshold adds +1 before the special-skill multiplier.

Resident Favorite stats
Ginger Charm 50, Perception 50, Stamina 70
Holly Perception 50, Stamina 50, Mystic 40
Noella Intelligence 50, Creativity 50, Cooking 45

Resident-specific features

  • Ginger: Candy Cane trades and lifetime Candy Cane milestone plots.
  • Holly: hosts the 25-task checklist and task-completion milestone plots.
  • Noella: reports total Extras completion and unlocks a repeatable 80% reward.

Relationship Milestone Plots

The Acknowledged stage has no separate Christmas plot. Every stage from Known onward auto-triggers the next time you enter that resident's home, provided its plot has not already completed.

Stage Ginger plot Holly plot Noella plot Token reward
Known Getting to Know Ginger Spreading Holiday Cheer The Naughty and Nice List +1
Acquaintance Ginger's Sweet Tooth A Moment in the Snow Warmth by the Fire +1
Friend Sweet Confessions Beneath the Frost Cocoa and Confidences +1
Close Friend Sugar and Spice A Hidden Place A Private Invitation +1
Crush Sweet on You Snow Angels The Slow Burn +1
Romantic The Sweetest Treat Warmth Within Full Flame +1
Intimate All I Want for Christmas Melting Into You Taking the Lead +1
In Love Sugar Rush Eternal Spring Forever Yours +2

Each plot also gives relationship points, and its choices give a small additional resident-specific award. The choices change the point amount but do not permanently lock a route.

If several thresholds were crossed before revisiting, return to the home repeatedly so the auto-trigger system can process every outstanding milestone.

Ginger's Candy Milestones

Select Trade Candy Canes in the Gingerbread House while holding at least 10 canes.

Each trade:

  • Spends 10 Candy Canes.
  • Awards 1 Christmas Token.
  • Adds 10 to Ginger's lifetime Candy Cane total.
  • Gives +10 base Ginger relationship through the normal modifier calculation.

Lifetime total never decreases. The five milestone plots auto-trigger when you enter the Gingerbread House after reaching the requirement.

Listed threshold First reachable total Plot Ginger relationship Tokens
25 30 Sweet Progress +5 base +1
50 50 Halfway to Heaven +10 base +1
75 80 Sugar Addiction +15 base +1
100 100 The Century Club +20 base +1
150 150 Candy Queen's Champion +25 base +2

The 25 and 75 thresholds cannot be hit exactly because trades occur in batches of 10. They first trigger at 30 and 80 respectively. Fifteen total trades consume 150 canes, directly award 15 Tokens, and make all five plots available for another 6 Tokens.

Holly's 25 Christmas Tasks

Open the Christmas checklist from the lower-right event strip. Each task is one-time. Tasks 1–24 award 1 Token; Task 25 awards 3.

Relationship requirements below include their universal point threshold for convenience. Times use the game's 24-hour clock.

Premium-gated task count

Nine tasks are premium-gated in the current implementation:

11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 21, 22, 23, and 24.

Their actions can appear but reject play in a free build, depending on the screen and action path. A free player can complete 16 of the 25 tasks but cannot legitimately reach the 20- or 25-task Holly milestone plots.

Holly task milestone plots

Return to Winter Wonderland after each threshold.

Completed tasks Plot Holly relationship Tokens
5 A Growing Warmth +5 base +1
10 Halfway There +10 base +1
15 Spreading Joy +15 base +1
20 Almost Complete +20 base +1
25 Holiday Cheer Complete +25 base +2

These milestone plots do not trigger at the instant the counter changes; entering Winter Wonderland triggers them.

Christmas Hold'em and Task 10

Christmas Hold'em is played from Present Downtown → Bar → Play Table Games while the bar is open from 20:00 to 03:00.

  • Deck: 52 standard cards plus 2 wild Jokers.
  • Best possible rank: Five of a Kind.
  • Antes: 10, 50, or 100 Wealth.
  • Vera begins with a separate $2,500 poker bankroll.
  • Each hand costs 5 minutes, or 3 minutes with the Time buff.
  • A winning hand gives +2 base Vera relationship and records the gambling result.
  • Drain Vera's poker bankroll to 0 to complete Christmas Task 10.
  • Task completion gives +1 Token and +20 direct Vera relationship.
  • Vera's poker bankroll resets on a new in-game day.

Use the highest ante your own bankroll can safely support. The Task checks Vera's remaining poker bankroll, not your lifetime net winnings against her.

For full hand rankings, Joker logic, betting behavior, and Vera's other gambling gates, see Downtown Bar Games.

Tinsel Dungeon Chain

Tasks 18, 19, 20, and 25 must be completed in sequence.

Step 1 — Task 18

Turn Christmas ON, go to the Present Downtown Back Alley, and use Search.

The stranded elf is added to the area's encounter pool. Its listed 90% chance is applied after that encounter has been selected from the larger pool, so 90% is not the overall chance per Search. Repeat the action until the scene appears.

Step 2 — Task 19

After Task 18, enter the dungeon and explore at floor 18 or deeper with Christmas ON.

Tinsel Encounter 1 gets a 40% roll when its eligible scenario check occurs. Completing it awards 1 Token and enables the next encounter.

Step 3 — Task 20

After Task 19, explore at floor 21 or deeper.

Tinsel Encounter 2 also gets a 40% eligible roll. It awards 1 Token and unlocks the Krampus encounter.

Step 4 — Task 25

After Task 20, explore at floor 23 or deeper.

The Krampus scenario gets a 50% eligible roll. Krampus has:

  • Base HP 150 plus floor/level scaling.
  • Strong element: Dark.
  • Weak element: Light.
  • 35% magic resistance.
  • 15% damage reduction.
  • A 60% chance to absorb Ice spells and a 50% chance to absorb Dark spells; a successful absorption heals Krampus for the spell's full resolved damage.
  • Armor-breaking physical attacks and a telegraphed Chain Storm.

Bring strong Light damage, healing, and durable armor. The fight prevents normal boss-flight shortcuts. Winning completes Task 25 and awards 3 Tokens.

If no Tinsel event appears, verify both the previous task and the Christmas toggle before assuming the random roll is broken.

Special Christmas Gifts

How Gift scenes work

Win a Special Gift from the Claw Machine, turn Christmas ON, and visit an eligible NPC at the exact location below.

Requirements shared by every Gift scene:

  • The NPC must be Close Friend or higher (200+ relationship).
  • You must hold at least 1 Special Gift.
  • Christmas must be ON.
  • Each NPC can receive only one Gift per save.
  • The scene costs 30 minutes.
  • The Gift is consumed.
  • The NPC receives +100 direct relationship points.
  • The scene marks a unique Extras entry complete.

All 11 recipients

NPC Required location
Emily Local Café (Interior)
Friday Haunted Mansion Foyer
Sashina Ancient Earth Shrine
Abby Dance & Yoga Studio
Bella City Library (Uptown)
Azariel Brothel Secret Room
Nerida Royal Hot Springs
Nova Player's Future Lab
Portia Downtown Night Club
Miki Mall Food Court
Sabbath Witch's Hut

The free Claw pool allows only one Special Gift ever, so choose the recipient deliberately. Premium status keeps Gift at weight 10 with no global win cap, allowing all 11 scenes through normal Claw play.

Gift scenes also increase Extras completion, which helps unlock Noella's milestone scenes and 80% reward.

Noella's Extras Milestones

Check the List

At Acknowledged (10+) or higher, Noella offers Check the List in Mistletoe Lodge. It costs no time and reports your global Extras completion percentage.

Visit the lodge after crossing these thresholds:

Extras completion Plot Noella relationship Tokens
15% First Entries +5 base +1
30% Growing Collection +10 base +1
45% Halfway Through +15 base +1
60% Deep Connections +20 base +1

The 80% reward

At 80% Extras completion, Noella's Reward becomes visible.

  • Requirement: Noella Acknowledged (10+) and 80% Extras completion.
  • Cost: 30 Energy and 30 minutes.
  • Plot: The Complete List.
  • Reward: +25 base Noella relationship and +2 Christmas Tokens.
  • The plot is explicitly repeatable.

The action declares a daily limit of 3. In the current implementation, its custom handler does not record the action in Noella's daily-action log, so the declared cap may not be enforced. Energy is therefore the practical limiter in affected builds. This is a current-build quirk, not a recommended balance assumption for future versions.

Permanent Rewards

Christmas Spirit

  • Source: one-time Claw Machine prize, weight 10 while unowned.
  • Type: permanent Social skill.
  • Effect here: serves as Ginger, Holly, and Noella's special skill, doubling their relationship-point calculations.
  • Once learned, it leaves the Claw pool permanently.

This is unrelated to the Christmas ON/OFF setting despite sharing the same name. The skill is a permanent player reward; the toggle is a persistent event control.

Christmas Wreath

  • Source: one-time Claw Machine prize.
  • Weight: 2 free, 7 premium while unowned.
  • Type: permanent key item.
  • Effect: +5% brothel income and +5% brothel reputation.

The current brothel calculations check only whether the key item is owned. They do not require Christmas to be ON. The Wreath works throughout the year and remains active when the event layer is toggled off.

Velvet Ribbon

  • Source: Claw Machine at weight 3 while the brothel is owned.
  • Type: rare equippable worker item.
  • Effect on assigned worker: +15% income and +3 Appearance.
  • It is not one-time; further copies can be won.

Worker clothing levels

Claw outfit prizes permanently raise the chosen worker's clothing level. Turning Christmas off does not revert the upgrade. The Claw-specific one- or two-win limit is separate from the worker's overall maximum clothing level of 5.

Other persistent results

  • Crystals and Wealth are immediate permanent gains.
  • Teddy, Lingerie, and Jewelry enter the normal consumable inventory.
  • Completed Gift scenes and task scenes remain available through their Extras records where applicable.
  • Relationship points, plot flags, Candy Cane lifetime totals, and task completion flags persist.

Early game

  1. Trigger the village intro for the free Token and relationship head start.
  2. Turn Christmas ON.
  3. Collect easy canes whenever they overlap your current route.
  4. Talk to all three residents up to their safe daily limit.
  5. Use the first Token if you accept the risk of a miss. Christmas Spirit is the best early long-term hit.
  6. Begin low-requirement tasks: 1, 6, 7, 13, 14, and 18 become available relatively early once their relationships are raised.

Mid game

  1. Prioritize Ginger trades. They simultaneously produce Tokens, Ginger relationship, and lifetime milestone progress.
  2. Feed Hot Chocolate to whichever resident is furthest behind.
  3. Return to each home whenever a relationship stage changes so Token plots do not queue unnoticed.
  4. Clear Tasks 18 and 19 as soon as dungeon floor 18 is comfortable.
  5. Raise the 11 Gift recipients to Close Friend before spending scarce free-version Gift access.
  6. Own and develop the brothel before heavily farming the Claw if you want Velvet Ribbon and worker clothing entries in the pool.

Late game

  1. Clear the relationship routes to In Love for 27 milestone Tokens total.
  2. Reach 150 lifetime traded canes.
  3. Complete the floor 21 and 23 Tinsel encounters.
  4. Finish all version-accessible Holly tasks and revisit Holly at every five-task threshold.
  5. Push Extras completion to 80% and use Noella's repeatable reward as needed.
  6. Farm the machine until Christmas Spirit and Christmas Wreath are removed from the pool as obtained.

Managing Claw odds

  • If you chiefly want Christmas Spirit, roll before adding many active worker clothing entries; every eligible outfit increases the denominator.
  • If you chiefly want worker clothing, activate the desired supported workers and avoid activating unrelated supported workers until after the upgrade lands.
  • If you want Velvet Ribbon, the brothel must already be owned.
  • Winning Wreath or Christmas Spirit changes the whole pool. Reopen View Prize Odds after every unique prize.
  • A free player's first Special Gift is a one-time decision. Do not consume it accidentally on a recipient you did not intend to prioritize.

Troubleshooting and Current-Build Quirks

Christmas Village is visible, but Christmas actions are missing

The location itself is permanent. Turn Christmas ON from the village or Relationships screen and confirm the lower-right event counters appear.

A Candy Cane does not appear

Check all of the following:

  • Christmas is ON.
  • The current location is one of the 23 listed spawns.
  • Two in-game days have passed since that location's last collection.
  • Clean View has not hidden the Christmas overlay.
  • You revisited the location after the cooldown so its saved pickup state could refresh.

Ginger's milestone did not trigger at 25 or 75

The game tracks lifetime canes given only when you trade a batch of 10. The first reachable totals are 30 and 80, not 25 and 75. Re-enter the Gingerbread House after the trade.

A relationship milestone did not trigger

The plot is location-triggered. Enter the correct resident's home after reaching the stage. If multiple stages were crossed quickly, leave and return until all queued milestones have played.

A Christmas task action does not appear

Verify:

  1. Christmas is ON.
  2. The previous one-time task has not already completed.
  3. You are at the exact location.
  4. The NPC meets the listed relationship stage.
  5. The current hour is inside the action's time range and the location itself is open.
  6. Required items or workers are present.
  7. The task is available in your game version.

Task 8 appears in several eras

That is intentional in the current location registry. The same one-time Nerida task is attached to the Present Tranquil Spa, Medieval Royal Hot Springs, and Future Virtual Wellness Immersion Center. Completing it at one location removes it everywhere.

Tasks 19, 20, or 25 do not fire immediately

They are random progressive dungeon scenarios, not guaranteed floor-entry events. The first two use 40% eligible rolls; Krampus uses 50%. Stay at or above the required floor, keep Christmas ON, and continue triggering scenario checks.

The odds table does not list Velvet Ribbon

This is a display omission. After brothel ownership, Ribbon weight 3 is included in the real pool and in the total used to calculate other percentages, but the final odds-list renderer omits its row.

The Wreath bonus stops when Christmas is OFF

It should not in the current implementation. Both income and reputation calculations check Wreath ownership only. If a report shows no Wreath line, confirm that Christmas Wreath is present in Key Items and that the relevant calculated gain is large enough for integer rounding to produce a nonzero 5% amount.

Noella's Reward exceeds three uses in one day

The action declares a limit of three, but its custom handler currently bypasses normal daily-action recording. The repeatable plot and Token reward still execute. Treat this as an implementation quirk that may be corrected later.

The free build cannot reach 25/25

That is expected under the current task definitions. Nine tasks are premium-gated, leaving 16 legitimately completable tasks in the free build. The 20- and 25-task Holly milestones therefore require premium access.

Verified against the current Christmas location/action registries, event state handler, Claw Machine prize logic, Christmas plot registry, Ginger/Holly/Noella character definitions, 25-task handler, Search encounter pool, Tinsel dungeon scenarios, Christmas Gift handler, Hold'em implementation, and brothel reward calculations.
