INDIE GAME / PLAY GUIDE
TOEM Basto: Three Carnival Games, Hidden Mural and Royal Crown
Base-game and Basto quests, compendium, equipment and achievements · Updated 2026-10-13
The single carnival win needed for a stamp differs from clearing all three games for Pro Gamer. Collect the ticket prizes separately according to their uses.
All three carnival games: controls and target scores
By day, cross the bridge beside the cinema area's hammock and enter the tent. Accept the quest from the host in a hat. Win one game, collect the ticket and report back to receive a stamp. Play through to a win rather than leaving midway.
Pro Gamer requires winning each of the three different games once, rather than winning the same game three times. Check the starred target score on the sign beside each game.
| Game | Action | Scoring and target | Key to success |
|---|---|---|---|
| Target shooting | Hit flying targets with the Water Popper | Hit +50 / miss −25; target 500 | At least 10 hits' worth of points are needed. Aim where targets enter your line of fire rather than firing continuously. This is not a game that ends when a timer runs out. |
| Face matching | Choose the face on the right that matches the example on the left from 12 options, then use Honk | Correct +100 / incorrect −50; target 500 | Compare hair, eyes, nose, ears, freckles and mouth. 5 correct answers' worth of points are needed; do not immediately choose a merely similar face. |
| Music | Use Honk as each line reaches the judgment band at the bottom | Target 3000. Consecutive successes raise the multiplier to a maximum of 8×; a miss resets it to 1× | Keep the successful streak going rather than counting isolated correct inputs. Songs differ, so do not use one fixed timing sequence for every song. |
These values come from PC and console material. The later mobile release received music-game adjustments, so identical control feel is not guaranteed.
Ticket prizes and their costs
Collect tickets after each victory and exchange them for prizes. Clearing the three different carnival games and making enough exchanges for every equipment item are separate checks.
| Item | Tickets required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Lei | 1 | Neckwear equipment slot |
| Vacation Shirt | 2 | Wear it with the Sun Hat and Flip-Flops, remove other equipment and sit in the vacation chair |
| Royal Cane／Scepter | 3 | Hidden event with the Royal Cape and Royal Crown |
For the music game, zoom the camera toward the judgment band and reduce screen shake to make the input position easier to follow. Latency and volume behave differently across platforms and setups, so these settings do not guarantee a win.
Hidden mural: entrance, four fires and seven initial-board inputs
Hit the cracked Glow Worm wall with water balloons, then use the Pickaxe on the digging mark that appears. Itsy Bitsy farther inside is also a photo subject. Clicking directly on the wall tiles does not move them.
Extinguish all four fires with water balloons to enable the floor's arrow controls. Use the sequence below for the initial board with the empty space at middle left, crown in the center and feet at middle right. The arrows indicate the direction of the incoming tile, rather than the empty space's movement.
After seven moves, the crown is at top center, the feet at bottom center and the empty space in the center. When the completion animation fills the central image, photograph it and confirm both its compendium entry and album save.
| Move | Floor arrow | Empty space afterward (rows from top, columns from left) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Down | Row 1, column 1 |
| 2 | Left | Row 1, column 2 |
| 3 | Up | Row 2, column 2 |
| 4 | Left | Row 2, column 3 |
| 5 | Up | Row 3, column 3 |
| 6 | Right | Row 3, column 2 |
| 7 | Down | Row 2, column 2 |
This is one solution for the initial board. If you have already moved tiles, compare the empty space's path and do not continue this sequence from a different state. We compared the initial board and completed photograph in public PS5 footage, then independently calculated the seven tile moves. This does not mean the video's player followed the same route or number of attempts. All current PC starting states have not been tested through gameplay.
From the mural photograph to the Royal Crown and hidden event
Do more than finish the mural: save its photograph to the album. Tato King registers from this mural, so there is no need to find a living creature first.
- Photograph the completed Tato King mural.
- Return to Royal Castle and place the mural photograph in the frame behind the pillar to the right of the throne.
- Once the opposite pillar moves, use the Pickaxe on the X that appears.
- Collect the Royal Crown from the treasure chest.
- Wear the Royal Cape from the sandcastle quest, the Royal Cane prize and the Royal Crown together.
- Return to the same hidden mural room and check the special event.
Kiiruberg's hidden frame is a different puzzle that uses a photograph of the TOEM phenomenon. Do not confuse it with the frame for the crown.
