Unreported quests remain on the Community Card. Once the photograph is ready, return to the original requester and confirm that you receive a stamp.

Work through the Photo Challenges to obtain the Tripod.
Get the Ghost Glasses at the cemetery, then resolve the horse-painting and cup-game sock quests.
Discover the three brothers through the camera to open the route past the log to the overlook.
Submit the hotel photograph from the overlook, revisit the bird and report the scout's three plant photographs.
Return for the four monsters and all the ghosts after fulfilling their conditions in other regions.

Solutions for 15 quests and tasks

The English names identify entries you can match with the screen and card. Cross-region quest chains may require finishing a condition in another town before reporting back.

Quest	Location / prerequisite	Action that resolves it
Hide-and-Seek	Watchtower	Climb the tower and focus the camera on 4 people: in the tree to the right, in the center, on the rock to the left and in the tree at the upper left.
Suspicious Activity - Forest	Watchtower → hilltop garbage bin	Photograph the person in a hat and coat in the upper-right part of the forest, then show the picture to the periscope in the garbage bin.
A Courageous Stallion	Cemetery → inside the hotel	Wear Ghost Glasses. Show the cemetery ghost a photograph of the horse painting on the hotel wall.
Ghost Helper!	Cactus-shaped house at the cemetery	Start with the ghost on the sofa. After resolving the ghosts' quests across the 3 base-game regions, return to this house to report back.
Cup Champion	Flowerpot clearing	Wear Ghost Glasses to see the opponent. Win the sock-under-the-cup game 1 time to receive the sock, then win 3 more times.
Missing Socks	Bench outside the hotel	Give the sock from the cup game to the seated person. Check that you receive the Soaked Sock equipment after reporting back.
Monster Spotting	Hotel lobby	Bring back photographs of the monsters from 4 regions. Each appears when the player is not watching it, so use the Tripod.
Become a Flower	Playground	Stand in the flower face cutout and photograph yourself using the reversed camera or Tripod.
Become a Paparazzi	Party entrance	Wear Ghost Glasses, speak to the bear in sunglasses and photograph the DJ farther inside.
Photo Challenge #1	Hill beyond the scout hut	Take separate pictures of the mossy rock, pine tree and axe in a stump, then show them to the requester.
Photo Challenge #2	Photographer outside the hotel	Photograph the ant visible on the hill and submit it for the “tiny soldiers” task. Check that you receive the Tripod as well.
Log Blocking A Path	Large log on the hill	Discover the 3 brothers through the camera: on the information desk's roof, on a chair inside the hotel and on the scout hut's roof. Return to the person at the log.
Become a Scout	Scout meeting point	Photograph Block Thistle beyond the log, Cotton Puff beside the information desk and Striped Shroom at the playground. Submit them to the leader on the stump.
Hotel Chef	Overlook beyond the log → hotel	Speak to the bird at the overlook, then revisit the hotel. Speak again to the same bird, now inside the hotel.
Capture the Hotel's Beauty	Hotel reception → overlook	Ring the reception bell to wake the bear. Photograph the entire hotel from the overlook beyond the log, then return to reception.

Coverage and unverified points

The separate collectibles guide lists all 22 individual locations for Basto's 11 monkey balloons and 11 plants. Its numbers are our checklist IDs, not in-game numbers or a record of collection through gameplay.
The guide includes controls, targets and scoring for all three carnival games, Tato King's seven initial-board inputs and the complete crown sequence. Arbitrary mural states and actual inputs across all platform variations remain unverified.
The minimum stamps for all five bus routes—1, 7, 8, 9 and 6—have been checked against independent sources and listed. A complete list of filter names and gameplay testing of every platform's button layout remain unfinished.
For the clock tower, we distinguish reports of an ordinary clock-face photograph unlocking the achievement from reports targeting the device clock's on-the-hour event. We have not tested identical inputs on every platform and current version through gameplay.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Q1 Why won't the log move? ▼

The three brothers are on the information desk's roof, on a chair inside the hotel and on the scout hut's roof. Complete the camera discovery for each, then return to the log.

Q2 Why is Cup Champion unfinished after I received the sock? ▼

The first win earns the sock. Three further wins complete the cup-game quest. This is separate from returning the sock to its owner.
