Pool Slide Story 100% Achievement Guide and Tips

Introduction

This guide contains information on how to get all the achievements Pool Slide Story on Steam. I’ve also tried to include some prerequisites and other information I found helpful.

Achievement: Dye into your Color

Proof of fulfilling wish for the first time

This one is fairly straight-forward and will be the first one you receive. As you progress through the game a pool guest will leave a message on your social media with a request (this is a wish). Once you fulfil the wish this achievement will appear.

Achievement: Scream by the pool!

Proof of building a water slide.

This one is also pretty self explanatory. For this you’ll need to build your first water slide.

At the beginning of the game the water slide will not be available. As you progress through the game you’ll eventually unlock it and all you’ll need to do is build it.

Achievement: The park that recognized by the world

Proof of becoming the 5-star water park.

For this one you’ll need to meet all the requirements for a 5-star park. When you start you’re at rank zero, however you can rank up whenever you meet the requirements (under actions, rank up).

Tips for how to increase park rank:

• Try to match the scents and colors to the season for popularity (sometimes this may reset popularity, but should rebuild quickly)
• When possible run campaigns which advertise the park. These provide base popularity and additional visitors which bring in more money
• Complete certifications as these also help popularity
• Cooking additional dishes can result in higher priced dishes which you can add to menus (only unlocked after a certain point)

Achievement: Gourmet that make stomach growls

Proof of improving a lot of cooking levels.

In order to gain this achievement you’ll need to hit level 10 in cooking. Each time you create a dish (even if you’ve already created it) you’ll receive experience.

I’d recommend doing this once you start earning enough money to be able to easily afford buying lots of ingredients. Also make sure not to use items you’ll need in your upcoming certification as the store only has a limited amount until it restocks.

Note: this isn’t initially available and unlocks after a bit of playthrough

Achievement: Always make memories here

Proof of running water park for many years.

To earn this achievement you’ll have to finish Year 8 – which is when the main story ends. At the end of Winter of Y8 this achievement will pop (you may have to wait for your high score to be calculated).

Achievement: Surrounded by Kairobot

Proof of building Kairobot’s pool.

To get this achievement you have to complete the Tropical Challenge Certification (Rank B). When you pass this you will receive the Kairo Tiles. Then all you need to do is build a pool (or change the tiles of an existing pool) and the achievement will unlock.

For this certification you’ll need: Palm Trees (which are unlocked fulfilling a wish), Tropical Scent and Rainbow Color (one of each color except white).

Additionally, since the pool scent won’t be tropical when it’s rainbow, you may need to place trees with a tropical scent (Pineapple and Banana) around the pool.

Colors and Seasons

Below are the popularities of colors for each season. When using a popular color in the right season you get a Seasonal Popularity Bonus. You can also view the popularity of the current pool color and season in the pool details.

Rating is out of 5.

Note: Rainbow occurs in a pool with an equal number of Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime, Green, Blue, Purple and Pink items

Scents and Seasons

Below are the popularities of scents for each season. When using a popular color in the right season you get a Seasonal Popularity Bonus. You can also view the popularity of the current pool scent and season in the pool details.

Rating is out of 5.

Note: Money is from items which you’ll unlock as you go through the game. They include the Antique Pillar (Utilities), Golden Kariobot (Utilities) and Performing Kariobot (Attraction)

Recipes

These aren’t all the Recipes, just some I found useful. Additionally, you’ll know if a standard recipe will be successful as it will come up saying you can make the snack/dessert/main/drink.

Drinks:

• Sodas – Almost any fruit plus soda
• Juices – Two pieces of the same fruit

Snacks:

• Popcorns – Sweet corn, salt and either Caramel, Strawberry or Matcha
• Riceballs – Rice, Salt and either Salmon, Charcoal or Hazelnut
• Fried Calamari – Squid and Charcoal
• Melon Bun – Flour, Yeast, Melon

Mains:

• Curries – Rice, Garam Masala and either Meat, Seafood or Tomato
• Boiled Noodles – Flour, Soy Sauce, Green Onion
• Shio Ramen – Noodles, Hot Water, Salt
• Bone-In Roast – Chicken, Pork Beef

Desserts:

• Churro – Flour, Sugar, Olive Oil, Almond
• Snow Cone – Ice and either Strawberry, Melon, Lemon, Orange, Grape or Sugar
  • Ice and Sugar make a Honey Snow Cone
• Chestnut Cream – Flour Egg, Butter, Chestnut
• Matcha Snow Cone – Matcha, Red Bean Paste, Milk, Ice

Kariobot:

Note: these won’t show a text bubble but will still create the food

• Burnt Toast – Flour, Yeast, Hot Water
• Lye – Vinegar, Soy Milk, Soy Sauce
• Veggie Peeling – Any Vegetable

Also, sometimes visitors will request an additional recipe where you’ll need to add an additional item to an existing recipe, such as BBQ Kebab and Lemon. When this happens since you can’t use a complete dish you’ll have to put all the initial items for the recipe and the new one to create it.

Tips and Tricks

Here’s some tips and tricks to be aware of:

• Pool Design
  • Popularity impacts Swimmers’ satisfaction bars, as the more popular the pool the more they fill.
  • Temperature of the pool impacts how long the Swimmers stay in the pool. If the pool is below optimal temperature (shown in pool details) then they’ll leave the pool early.
  • Try to match the scents and colors to the season for popularity (sometimes this may reset popularity, but should rebuild quickly).
  • Intensity of a pool can impact certain certifications. If you don’t get a high enough score try increasing the intensity of the scent/color.

   
• Campaigns
  • When possible run campaigns which advertise the park. These provide base popularity and additional visitors which bring in more money.

   

• Certifications
  • Complete certifications as these also help popularity.
  • Complete wishes as they come appear as they unlock additional items which are used in later wishes or certifications.
  • Look at certifications ahead of time to ensure you have items needed or pools available.
  • Sweet scent is Chocolate (It can say Cookie as the scent, but the certification will ask for Sweet).

   

• General
  • Some restaurants have scents and will impact pools if they are placed next to them.
  • Cooking additional dishes can result in higher priced dishes which you can add to menus (cooking unlocks after a certain point).
  • You don’t start with the ability to move items which you misplace, so be careful. After a while the pool president will give you an item which allows you to move items.
  • If you try to move and item and place it on the same space it will count as moving it and cost you 200g.
  • Money Scent can be achieved from the Antique Pillar (Utilities), Golden Kariobot (Utilities) or the Performing Kariobot (Attraction).
  • Rainbow is created in a pool with an equal number of Red, Orange, Yellow, Lime, Green, Blue, Purple and Pink items
