Gifts from Secret Admirer

Receive gifts when opening the shutter with Secret Admirer. The main gifts form a priority chain; cassette and note rolls are additional.

Availability and notes

  • Choose Secret Admirer at the start.
  • Day 2 gives the special gift for certain. On other days a gift comes rarely at first; the longer you go without one, the more likely it becomes, and one is certain within 12 days of the previous gift.
  • When the daily gift arrives, the main gifts are checked in priority order and the first one that applies is given. Cassettes and notes are extra chances and do not replace the main gift.
Frequency
On gift days, occasionally chosen when its turn in the priority order comes.
