Perky Park Walkthrough: Leaves, Fountain, Swing, Bubbles and Selfie

Perky Park In One Pass

Perky Park is the first location on the map, and the game's tutorial in park clothing. The briefing walks you through the map, the job list and a short test in the office, then issues a permit: zoom with the mouse wheel and shoot Perky Park to travel there.

Five jobs sit in the list on the right of your screen: remove the leaves, start the fountain, push peep, blow bubbles and take a selfie. None of them is written as an instruction. Each is somebody's complaint — “raking leaves is so boring”, “Handy Hank has no idea how to turn on the fountain”, “my lips are too dry to blow bubbles” — and that complaint is the clue. The advice covers the whole location: scope the scene, spot the problems, shoot the solutions.

You start with three hints and can trade reputation for more at the Magic Market, so a job you cannot read is never fatal. Hints are still worth hoarding: the review counts them, along with bad hits, failed jobs and your time against the park's par.

• Remove leaves — the park worker's “raking leaves is so boring”.
• Start the fountain — “Handy Hank has no idea how to turn on the fountain. Maybe that pipe goes somewhere.”
• Push peep — the rider's “wee, push me higher, higher”.
• Blow bubbles — “sigh, my lips are too dry to blow bubbles”.
• Take a selfie — “say cheese” from the photo crew.

How A Clue Becomes A Shot

Every park job is the same chain: a character with a small problem, an object that solves it, and the line between them. The tutorial notes that picture clues are revealed by targeting parts of a job in a location, which is why a slow sweep of the scope beats staring at the obvious character.

Shooting the character who asked for help is the mistake the park is built to catch. It does not complete their job, it books a bad hit, and it burns a shot you then reload inside a timed shift. Players who try it on the swing have to find a second firing angle, because their line runs straight through the child sitting on it. Firing at scenery is barely better: hit the fountain's basin and the scene animates, nothing else.

The confirmation you are waiting for is small — a valve turning, a line of dialogue, a tick disappearing from the job list. If nothing confirms, you hit the wrong thing, so change your candidate rather than repeating the shot. A clue that reads as nonsense is usually obvious once you have solved the job next to it.

1. 01Right-click to move focus to the job list and use the scroll wheel to sift through the five jobs.
2. 02Read the complaint rather than the title; the complaint names the problem you are meant to fix.
3. 03Sweep the whole scene with the scope and hover over candidate objects before you fire.
4. 04Shoot the object — pipes, swing, camera, litter — and never the person attached to it.
5. 05Watch for the small confirmation, then check how many parts of the job are still unticked.

Starting The Fountain: Follow The Pipes

Handy Hank's job is the clearest clue in the park. The text says “maybe that pipe goes somewhere”, and it does: the target is the pipe run leaving the fountain, not the fountain itself. Fire at the water feature and you get animation, not the objective: the valves along the pipe are what matter.

The job shows three parts to hit, each confirmed with a short message as it turns, and one of them is usually awkward — behind foliage, or where your line of fire crosses a bush or a stall. Zoom in to find the handle, then shift your position instead of firing blind; one recording shows a player hunting the last valve and asking how to get the bush out of the way.

If you think you have turned them all and the job is still open, check its ticks before hunting again. Players in the footage count valves out loud, lose track and re-shoot ones they have already done, which costs reloads and nothing else.

1. 01Find the fountain, then follow the pipe away from it instead of studying the basin.
2. 02Turn every valve you pass; the game confirms each one you get.
3. 03Use the zoom to spot a valve hiding behind planting or a stall.
4. 04Take a second angle when a bush blocks the shot rather than firing through it.
5. 05Re-check the ticks: the job closes when the water starts, not when the first valve turns.

Leaves, Swings And The Selfie Job

The leaf job belongs to a park worker who is fed up with the piles. They are spread across the whole location, at ground level beside bins, paths and planting, and the counter is the only scoreboard. Brown ground is not a pile: one recording fires at what looks like leaves and gets nothing.

Push peep is the swing. The rider is yelling for height, and the object that answers the clue is the swing, not the passenger. Players hunt for a firing position first because the direct line goes through the child, and once the swing is struck the rider is flung off it. The tick is what confirms it.

Say cheese is the camera job. Find the photo crew or the person posing and put the shot into the camera; players describe aiming at the camera itself and wondering whether the shutter button counted. Hitting the subject leaves the job open and counts against your run.

Blowing Bubbles: The Water Clue

Blow bubbles is the job that stalls most runs, because the clue is deliberately indirect. The character cannot blow bubbles with lips that are too dry, so the answer is moisture. Two recordings reach the same reading — one with “I have to do something with the water”, one with “I need to get him some water cuz his lips are too dry”.

So sweep the park's water first — the pond edges, and the fountain once its pipes are open — for whoever is holding a bubble blower; in earlier demo footage the solver works the bush beside one pond. What you shoot is the bubble or the blower itself, and the payoff is a giant bubble that swallows the character.

Two recordings stumble over the same detail: the job may want the same shot made three times, or three separate bubble characters. Check the counter after every shot before deciding which it is.

The publisher's store copy notes that some task solutions change between plays, and this is the job where that matters most. Read your current clue, not a remembered screen position.

Clue Table, Scoring And Extras

Treat the middle column below as a search area, not a coordinate: positions move between runs, and props that are not solutions can sit on a different patch of grass.

The shift review judges the route: hits, bad hits, hints used, jobs completed and failed, and your time against the park's par. It then pays cash and reputation.

There is more in the park than the five jobs. Banana peels are litter, and clearing them adds a litter objective beside the main list; coins are shootable and tucked into odd corners of the scene. Those extras are optional, so a collectables sweep is a decision about cash rather than about passing the shift.

• Re-check the job list after your first banana peel; a litter objective appears alongside the five jobs.
• Sweep for coins between jobs — they are small and easy to pass straight over.
• If you are chasing rank, leave the extras: the review scores hits, bad hits, hints and time.
• When the review clears, the map points you at the Magic Market to spend your cash and reputation.
