What each area lets you do
Table
The game spreads its activities across several distinct zones. Some are purely for fun, while others are tied directly to staff roles.
| Pool and beach | swim, dive, and relax; open to everyone at no cost. |
| Waterslides | race down for fun; no staff role required. |
| Aquatic Café | has a working ice cream machine, fryer, soda machine, and stove; used by Baristas during shifts and for roleplay at any time. |
| Medical Center | where Lifeguards bring drowning players and Nurses treat patients. |
| Obby | a separate obstacle course; complete it without cheating to earn the Obby Master badge. |
| Cannon | a single-use interaction that fires you into the air and unlocks a badge on first use. |
Working the Aquatic Café
StepThe Café is one of the most detailed areas in the game. Whether you are a Barista doing a shift or just roleplaying, each appliance works differently.
- Ice cream machine press the button for the flavor you want (not the flavor label itself) and the machine fills the cup automatically. Five flavors are available: Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Mint, Strawberry, and Vanilla.
- Fryer open the fridge, click Raw Fries and select Add Item, then walk to the fryer and start frying. Wait until the fries are perfectly done before serving.
- Soda machine grab an empty cup first, then interact with the machine, choose a flavor, and decide whether you want ice.
- Stove get a Raw Patty from the fridge, place it on the stove, and press F (or tap the on-screen button on mobile) to flip it. Add ingredients like Cheese, Tomato, Onions, or Lettuce from the station next to the stove.
