Core chores and how they work
Check
The game gives you several types of mess to deal with, and you need to handle all of them to progress. Picking up trash, vacuuming dust, and scrubbing spills are the most common tasks, but each room also has its own specific jobs to get through.
- Pick up trash lying on the floor
- Vacuum dust from surfaces and floors
- Scrub liquid spills off the floor
- Wash dishes left in the kitchen
- Fold shirts and make the bed when those tasks appear
- Collect the coins that drop after each completed chore

Coins, gems, and upgrading your tools
TableThere are two separate currencies, and mixing them up will cost you progress. Understanding what each one does changes how you spend your time.
| Coins | earned by finishing chores during a run; used to upgrade your cleaning tools |
| Gems | a separate currency used for permanent upgrades that stay with you between sessions |
| Tool upgrades (coins) | let you handle bigger and tougher messes in the current run |
| Permanent upgrades (gems) | carry over every time you play, so they stack up over time |
Unlocking rooms and clearing chapters
StepThe game currently has four chapters. Each one requires you to open rooms with keys and complete every chore inside before you can advance. Gem-bought upgrades carry over between sessions, so returning after a break still puts you in a stronger position.
- Find a key keys are what let you open locked rooms on the estate
- Enter the room and clear every chore do not leave tasks unfinished, or the chapter will not progress
- Spend gems on permanent upgrades these stay active across all future runs
- Advance to the next chapter once every chore in the chapter is done, the next one opens up
Repairing the cleaning helper
TipsSomewhere on the estate, three separate parts are hidden. You need all of them to bring your cleaning helper back online. This is an optional secret, but it also unlocks one of the game's five badges.
- Search the estate for the brush handle, which is one of the three required parts
- Track down the brush head in a separate location on the estate
- Find the stop charm, the third and final hidden part
- Once you have all three, the cleaning helper is repaired and the A Helping Hand badge is yours

Common questions
FAQDo my upgrades reset when I leave?
It depends on the type. Gem-bought permanent upgrades carry over into every future session. Coin-based tool upgrades apply within the current run, so you will earn and spend coins again next time.
How many players can join my session?
Chapter 1 supports up to six players in the same session.
Do I have to find the hidden parts to finish the game?
No, repairing the cleaning helper is optional and not required to complete the chapters. You will miss the A Helping Hand badge if you skip it, though.
