To complete Days 4 through 6 of the Institute of Modern Butlers in Gardenscapes, clear match-3 puzzle levels to earn stars, then redeem them through Austin's tablet to progress through courtyard repairs, indoor training rooms, and final ceremonial installations. Because multi-star costs increase across these later days, banking your stars before tackling linked objectives prevents progression stalls and keeps your reward boosters timed effectively.
Day 4: Courtyard and Pathway Restorations
Day 4 focuses on rehabilitating the outdoor grounds and structural access routes of the academy. Secondary decorative objectives remain locked until structural tasks are resolved, making the order in which you spend stars critical.
- Clear masonry and hedges: Austin and the staff must remove broken masonry and overgrown hedges before carpentry or interior tasks appear in your task list.
- Pave the central courtyard: Completing the central path restoration establishes routing across the grounds and unlocks task chains for adjacent outbuildings.
- Select decorative fixtures: Day 4 milestones introduce three cosmetic variants for lampposts, benches, and stone fixtures. Choose your preferred look immediately, because altering decorative styles later requires spending in-game coins.
Finishing functional outdoor repairs early advances the day's completion meter steadily toward the mid-day reward chest.
Day 5: Classroom and Etiquette Training Facilities
Day 5 moves indoors to establish formal instructional areas, podiums, and dining practice stations. These carpentry and furnishing tasks frequently require compound star investments for each individual action.
| Stage | Primary Objectives | Player Action |
|---|---|---|
| Early Day 5 | Clear debris, repair walls, install flooring | Save 4 to 6 stars before starting to finish basic structural repairs in one session. |
| Mid Day 5 | Place instructional boards, podiums, and desks | Select matching wood and upholstery variants to keep room styling consistent. |
| Late Day 5 | Install dinnerware, service stations, and display cases | Complete the remaining chained tasks to trigger the day's final cutscene. |
Avoid spending coins to alter furniture trims during Day 5. Saving your coins for puzzle boosters or extra moves ensures you can continue earning the stars needed to finish the indoor facilities.
Day 6: Ceremonial Features and Academy Completion
Day 6 serves as the final renovation phase for the Institute of Modern Butlers, shifting from building restoration to ceremonial decoration and formal presentation.
- Grand installations: Place high-tier garden centerpieces, mount commemorative plaques, and unveil the institute's official heraldry.
- Landscaping: Plant formal flowerbeds and install lighting fixtures to prepare the grounds for arriving dignitaries and academy personnel.
- Claim completion rewards: Finishing Day 6 concludes the location arc and grants completion rewards, including utility boosters and unlimited lives.
Star and Coin Management Strategy
Later institute stages scale up star requirements, making puzzle efficiency essential to maintaining momentum:
- Maintain win streaks: Keep active win-streak bonuses, such as the Magic Hat or Chest events, while collecting stars. Beginning levels with free bombs and Rainbow Blasts reduces the move count needed to clear boards.
- Bank stars in batches: Accumulate 10 to 15 stars before spending them on tablet tasks. Completing narrative beats all at once prevents you from losing track of linked multi-step requirements.
- Save coins for move extensions: Restrict coin spending to +5 move extensions on super hard puzzle levels instead of spending currency on cosmetic re-selections.
