The Hidden Art of Innkeeping: 100% Complete Achievement Guide

You cannot get all 51 achievements in a single playthrough.

They do “carry-over” to a new game+, though.

You can just keep doing a new game+ every time you go through the game, so eventually, in your achievement tab, you can have all the achievments highlighted, even if you didn’t do it in that playthrough.

There are a few fun items that only exist in a new game+, so I would recommend always starting anew that way.

All the prerequisites for getting star-ratings are listed in your tasks in the game, on how to upgrade your inn. Very straightforward.

Marco shows up, so be sure to check him in; he often has seeds. Talk to him even when you can’t give him a room that day, just in case.

Every day, before you move from Set-up to Check-in, save. When you talk to a guest (or check your guest tab and see their likes or dislikes), reload, and alter your menu to fit their particular taste.

During leisure, talk to Simone (the housekeeper). She will hand you items people have left behind. When a guest visits the next time, they may say they’ve lost that item. Why keep it, when you know it’s theirs?

When May first offers to sell to you, snap it up; no investigation first. This seems most unwise to me, but what is that in the face of achievement completion?

When you look around the potential inn before buying, and then talk to May at her house, offer less. It really isn’t worth much at this point.

Complete the renovation and expansion of the inn and garden.

Don’t ask Orion to kill any animals. You can still have him stay at the inn, just don’t ask him to deal with any problems.

The peahen is just across the bridge, the bear likes honey from Ava’s Bakery, and when the metalsmith moves in, talk to her, and she’ll give you a cardboard box that the tiger likes.

There are three butterflies; pay attention to which color is where on the map. When Joo-myung visits with his fellow students, tell him correctly where to find them.

You must refuse all three taxes. Yes, all three. Even if the devastation of the forest hurts your very soul, you must refuse the tax.

Don’t match Milton’s advertising campaign.

If you don’t, after several days, he runs out of money, and can only afford quarter page ads, while half-page is available to you. You will definitely have less guests while it’s going on, but the later benefits…

Every time Milton ups his ad size, you do too.

Talk to the two kids on the beach once in awhile. This will be most effective during Leisure.

When Ava tells you her dream, finance it. Then you just talk to her after certain improvements (new crops or store items, etc.)

You can only get this one if you go the no tax route. When a guard dog seems like a good idea, go ask Quinn (newspaper man) to apply for a dog adoption.

After Agnes’ farm is eaten, and you identify the culprit, you can go to the newspaper office, and request a guard dog for her.

You can’t get the dog and then replant the trees, because the tax thing has to be done all in one day, and happens before the garden is eaten. YOU CANNOT GET BOTH TREES AND A PET DOG FOR THE LONELY OLD WOMAN. This is my biggest complaint about the game.

When you have a head of lettuce, don’t just keep it to yourself; share it with a turtle.

When Ava sends you a slice of Cake, eat it immediately, and then keep cake on the menu for ten days straight.

Hakeem the hermit will not like people, or come to your party, if you eat the slice, instead of giving it to him. So you see, this is the perfect example of, “You can’t eat your cake, and have it, too.”

Don’t charge the widow lady and fatherless child usury. What kind of monster are you?

Once May is being a tailor again, she’ll talk about her glasses. Then you can pass on her idea to Pierre (The male half of the train agent couple).

When Milton asks for advice, give the good kind. Avoid getting the “Best Inn” award.

Donate the books to the library. This can only be done if it’s an actual library, so you must do the taxes for this one.

Have Idaho identify all the artifacts, and then donate them to the National Museum.

You must do both in the same playthrough to get this achievement.

Identify the destroyer of Agnes’ garden.

Above her house a little, next to one of the dead cacao trees is a red ribbon.

Do not accept the tax for a life guard, and then wait for the fateful day.

When you start advertising, tell Quinn you want a relaxing inn. When you upgrade the inn, first choose a lounge instead of a gymnasium. Next upgrade, do a hot tub instead of a swimming pool. After, when you talk to Quinn again, it should trigger.

When you start advertising, tell Quinn you want an inn full of fun physical activities. When you upgrade the inn, choose a gymnasium instead of a lounge. Next, choose a swimming pool instead of a hot tub. Then talk to Quinn again.

When you’re checking out of the Grand Hotel, correct Milton on the room number.

You need all three of the transportation toys in your playroom, all in one playthrough. You will have to allow taxes for this one.

Train: Cater to Marie and Pierre’s every whim. Have tea, cookies, and cake all on the menu, give them a double bed and writing desk. If that doesn’t work, wait until you can tell Pierre about May’s way of keeping track of glasses. That should do it.

Boat: Allow the tax for the coast guard, and have the doctor living in the town by the 17th.

Airship: Cater to Sophie’s every whim. She shows up after you build the gazebo and playground. She wants a room with mechanical decor, and pineapple pie on the menu.

Find all eleven different shells.

You can check the other guides for complete collections if you can’t find them all.

Collect all eight historical artifacts, and have Idaho identify them.

I think there’s already a guide with their locations, so I’ll only say that if you check Idaho into a room, during leisure you can go ask him to identify them for you.

Obtain all six of the Jane Austen Novels.

Their locations are covered in a different guide.

After you obtain cacao, be sure to give Paul the day off to make chocolate.

Tell Agnes about the cacao tree. You can tell her immediately or wait as long as you like. You may need to play around with the timing for other achievements.

Come in 1st at the chocolate contest.

Have Idaho decode the scroll, so you know about the white flowering vine. When you find it, and the cacao tree, give them both to Paul and let him have the day off to invent chocolate truffles. Then, agree to give him the day off for the contest.

Do NOT tell Agnes about the cacao tree until AFTER the contest is over.

After the ruins are restored, talk to May and agree to the tax.

The expansion of the village just happens as you play through, but be sure to fund your gardener’s efforts when he asks. Also, be sure to have the family with the pet turtle stay at your inn.

When Kagiso requests steak, don’t have it on the menu. (He’s the “g-pop” of the two purple haired boys with a pet cat).

Have Drake stay at the inn a few times. (The pirate with a parrot).

Match Irene up with someone.

You’ll have to have Drake and Irene stay at the inn at the same time for a couple visits, before this will trigger. Just keep talking to her every time.

Arlecchino, Colombina, and Brighella are the group who look like a circus act. Brighella only eats pizza margherita.

Every time they stay, go talk to them on the beach. Don’t be a miser.

Note: You can do this one even if you can’t serve them pizza, so no worries there. Strange kid is just hungry.

Emily (girl with a pet hedgehog) must win 2nd place at the chocolate contest.

You’ll need to make her and her various relatives stays at your inn a success.

Do not touch the vanilla plant. Pretend it isn’t there.

Tell Agnes about the cacao tree at least couple of days before the chocolate contest.

When Emily’s whole family visits after the contest, speak to her. That should do it.

When Emily’s entire family comes to visit after the chocolate festival, cater to their every whim.

No wine, allow pets, all the most expensive food on the menu, no chocolates on the pillows, no chocolate on the menu, only check in their family members to the inn; you will have two empty rooms. Keep them that way.

Have Vicky and Albert stay at your inn, and enjoy their time there.

They will come if you get the Best Inn award before the chocolate festival. They come even if you give good advice to Milton, and skip the advertising contest. It’s all about whether you get the Best Inn award.

Keep a hat in your inventory, so you may hand it to a particular guest. You give it to him during check-out.

De…er, Derek is the name of the guest.

It’s okay if you miss it his first visit. It worked for me on the second.

Every possible guest has stayed at your inn.

You’ll need to finish a new game+ for this one.

You get a unique guest with the Invigorating Inn style Frank, and a unique pair for the Relaxing styleCharles and Sebastion.

Once you have gotten that kind of inn’s unique visitor, you’re good for the new game+. Then in your new playthrough pick the other style of inn. And make sure that every visitor to the inn stays at least once. You’ll need to win Best Inn so Vicky and Albert come, and make sure to pander to Emily’s family. Every one else will keep coming back, those are the only fussy ones.

Achieve an average guest rating of 150 or higher with at least five rooms occupied. You need this before the chocolate festival if you want Vicky and Albert to come to your inn, instead of The Grand Hotel.

In a standard length playthrough, pay off the loan without raises your prices above cheap, and don’t sell anything to the store.

Once you pay off the loan, the achievement triggers immediately, so afterwards you can sell things, and raise your prices, if you want.

Pay off the loan by the due date. You can alter your prices, sell things, go for the relaxed playthrough, as long as you pay off the loan by its due date.
