What's the main goal of the game?
Your primary objective is to find all missing Ham-Ham club members scattered across the map by helping them with tasks, which ultimately helps Laura recover her lost diary before the big school play.
How do I learn new Hamtalk words?
Listen carefully to conversations with other hamsters! They'll teach you unique phrases like "Snoozer" (sleep) or "Digdig" (burrow), which you must use in specific situations to progress. Write them down in your journal.
Can I replay mini-games after completing them?
Yes! Most mini-games remain accessible even after finishing their associated quests. Visit characters like Oxnard at the clubhouse for seed-spitting practice or Bijou for dance challenges anytime to earn extra seeds.
