In-Game Awards


At the moment, there are no Steam achievements for this game. However, there are achievements available in-game. They are presented upon completion of the game. These are really just for your own enjoyment!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Big Spender
When price doesn't matter

Buy the question mark box from the general store for $99.90 (9990 Pa Pennies).

Tip
In Pa's museum, play Land Rush and successfully beat all four levels. Once you've completed all four levels, replay Level 4. After making your first move, back out of the level before the Sooners have a chance to make their move. This action will reward you with a bunch of Pa Pennies, and you can repeat this process as often as you like.

Candy Dispenser
For sweetening the days of others

Offer every type of candy to everyone.

Tip
Do each type of candy separately. Nancy won't allow you to choose which candy to give to each person, so having multiple candy types in your inventory increases the chance of Nancy giving the same candy to one person multiple times.

For instance, purchase four Cowabubbles, and offer one to each of the following: Scott, Debbie, Chase, and Frosty. Then, acquire four of the next candy type and repeat the process. Any leftover candy can be used for the Sweet Tooth award.

NOTES:
  • There is just one variety of Koko Kringle bar, despite it appearing twice in the display. You only need to buy one.
  • Pa won't take any candy, but you must still offer it to him once.
  • Scott has an aversion to chocolate and won't eat Koko Kringle, Auntie's Acorns, Cudsmackers, or Cow-A-Mel, but you still need to offer them to him.
  • Nobody will accept Moon Chunks.



  • Udder Pops
  • Koko Kringle
  • Koffee Kandy
  • Auntie's Acorns
  • Lickie Loo Lollipops
  • Cudsmackers
  • Cowabubble
  • Raging Infernos
  • Cow-A-Mel
  • Moon Chunk
Couch Potato

Homesteader
Staking claim to your lands

In Pa's museum, play Land Rush and successfully beat all four levels.

Tip
Once you've completed all four levels, replay Level 4. After making your first move, back out of the level before the Sooners have a chance to make their move. This action will reward you with a bunch of Pa Pennies, and you can repeat this process as often as you like.
