Awards

  • 1 of 14: Here are all the awards and how to get them. When you do what's needed to get one of these awards, the "Menu" button at the lower left of your screen will briefly turn into a golden trophy. Have fun!
  • 2 of 14: High Seas Captain: Take the dinghy out more than 20 times.
  • 3 of 14: Keepsake Kitsch: Buy every souvenir in the gift shop. This will cost you a total of 38,620 kronur (unless you use the eggs to trade for stuff, which you can't do for the book, the batteries, or the sword). Since you can only have 9,999 kronur at one time, you'll need to make money, buy stuff, then go make more money to buy more stuff.
