Help Wanted

**Help Wanted** cases are tasks the player can complete to earn rewards. The **Help Wanted** cases will be available after completing Chapter 4 and are accessible on the Orchid Island screen.The **Help Wanted** cases can be found in the Document Folder.

## The Help Wanted Newspaper

The **Help Wanted** cases come to Orchid Island as newspaper ads in The Challenger, which always seems to be the current weekday's Edition of 1927.

There are three **Help Wanted** cases available at he same time: the first slot from the right is always an easy case, the second slot is a medium case and the third slot is a hard case. The harder the case the higher the reward.

## Challenger Prize

The Challenger Prize is usually one 5-Star Box, though there used to be different rewards like compasses, too. The Prize can be earned by collecting a certain amount of bottle caps, usually 82. These bottle caps can be earned by solving cases. There is a progress bar at the top of the **Help Wanted** newspaper tracking the amount of bottle caps already collected. Once the goal amount is reached and the Prize awarded the progress bar will reset with any overspill of bottle caps carrying over and it starts over. For how many bottle caps a case provides, see the *Rewards* section below.

### Flash Bonus

The Flash Bonus is a time-limited booster that activates randomly and is active for only 15 to 45 minutes. The Flash Bonus adds an extra reward to the Challenger Prize, for example a second 5-Star Box. So if the goal amount of bottle caps is reached while the Flash Bonus is active, the player will be awarded the Challenger Prize and the Flash Bonus reward.

## Rewards

Solving a case will always award the player with bottle caps for the Challenger Prize and with either coins, energy or occasionally diamonds. Sometimes there will be a booster event happening, that lasts for half a day or a full day, during which an inrceased amount of bottle caps is rewarded for solved cases.

When a Detective League is active a solved case will also provide League Points and when a Detectives Needed event is active the cases may provide varying amounts of Winding Keys contributing towards the event goal.

## Receiving new cases

After completing a **Help Wanted** case, a timer starts to count down for when there will be a new case in that slot. For the first case slot it, takes 3 hours, for the second slot it takes 8 hours and for the third slot it takes 16 hours. That timer can be skipped when the player watches an ad.

If desired one case can be swapped for a random, different case by clicking the red icon in the upper right corner of the case. One swap is free within 24 hours. Each more swap costs an increasing amount of diamonds, The second swap costs 6 diamonds, the third 12 diamonds and after that all swaps cost 24 diamonds.

## List of Cases

There are different tasks to complete different cases. Most of the cases can appear in more than one slot but with a bigger amount of items to collect or spend in the harder slots to make them more difficult.

## Old Cases

Some cases have been removed from the game, such as;

* **Beat Jack Hayes on the leaderboard.** To complete this task, earn more points in any scene than Jack Hayes. In order to track your progress, check the leaderboard when it appears on the screen.
* **Remove ribbons from decorations or buildings.** To complete this task, you need to place a new decoration on the island and wait for the completion of construction. You can also complete this task by upgrading buildings or repairing sights. The return of items from the store is also counted. You will understand that the item is suitable for the task when a red ribbon appears on it.

## Tips on completing cases

If you want to prepare to complete a lot of cases in a certain time frame like an event, you may want to:

* Save 3 Bushes
* Save some blue and pink Star Boxes
* Don't collect tips in the café immediately, just leave them, they will accumulate until you tap on the tip jar.
* Only unwrap newly finished decorations when you need the flowers,
* Maybe don't collect the coins from the Estate immediately. It only reaches capacity after 10 hours.
