To complete Day 3 of Area 6 in Gardenscapes, spend earned stars on Austin’s tablet checklist until the day's renovation progress bar reaches 100 percent. Every task requires between one and three stars, earned by clearing standard match-3 puzzle levels. Once the daily checklist is finished, claim the completion reward chest and transition directly into Area 6 Day 4.

Area 6 Day 3 Progression Overview

Area 6 develops the Japanese Garden zone. Completing Day 3 requires clearing approximately 15 to 25 puzzle levels to fund the required structural and decorative tasks. Progress is tracked incrementally in the in-game tablet.

Day 3 Renovation Tasks

Work on Day 3 establishes the primary pathways and water features of the Japanese Garden. Tasks should be completed as stars become available to advance dialogue and unlock subsequent checklist items.

  • Ground Clearing: Cleans away residual brush and levels dirt plots along the water bank. These single-star foundational tasks open space for larger installations.
  • Pathways and Rock Accents: Installs stone pavers and positions rock garden features connecting the outer perimeter to the central pond.
  • Water Basins and Lanterns: Places traditional stone lanterns and bamboo water mechanisms. These multi-step installations generally require two to three stars each.
  • Botanical Planting: Adds ornamental greenery, bamboo groupings, and flowering trees to complete the landscape layout.

Managing Customization Choices

Major installations prompt a choice among three distinct aesthetic themes, such as weathered natural stone, granite, or lacquered woodwork.

Selecting an initial design does not permanently lock that style. To change an installed decoration later:

  1. Tap and hold the target decoration in the garden.
  2. Select an alternative design from the pop-up menu.
  3. Confirm the change using in-game coins or temporary customization perks.

Selecting a consistent palette during the initial walkthrough avoids spending extra coins on early redesigns.

Claiming Day 3 Rewards and Starting Day 4

Completing the final task fills the tablet meter to 100 percent and triggers a concluding dialogue scene with Austin. After the cutscene, open the day-end reward container.

The reward chest grants:

  • Bonus coins
  • Utility boosters (such as the Shovel or Rake)
  • A timed unlimited lives buff lasting 30 to 60 minutes

Because the unlimited lives timer begins immediately upon opening the chest, complete the final Day 3 task only when prepared to play match-3 levels during that active window. Once the reward screen is cleared, open the tablet to begin Day 4 tasks.
