Friendship
There are 105 characters in the neighbourhood, and each has a schedule, things they love and secrets. Talk, do things together and give gifts, and you grow closer. The closer you get, the more they tell you; sometimes a secret opens a side quest.
Gifts
- Everyone has things they love, like, dislike and hate. Give something and you see their reaction, and the game remembers it.
- Gifts on someone’s birthday count double.
- The grocery, the mall, the sports shop and the flea market all sell gifts.
Love
You can date some of the characters and become a couple. Strolling through a festival together, inviting them home and the right gift all bring you closer.
Side quests
There are more than 80 quests in the game. Pin a side quest and its next step shows in the hint bar; you can have up to six side quests open at once.
Festivals
| Season | Festival | Where | What’s on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | Spring Fair | University Garden | Stalls, music, an arm-wrestling contest |

The Sunday match
Every summer Sunday from 6 to 9 PM there’s a neighbourhood match at the Karanfil Five-a-Side: Coffeehouse v Market, refereed by Uncle Necdet. Talk to everyone before and after, then play it yourself. You can also help Coach Tamer train the kids’ team.
