Quest
Despite appearing as a simple pet simulator for the first week of in-game time, the player eventually unlocks the Quest Log. Quests are triggered either by the chomby's current stats, receiving items (in the mail or during certain events), or just by the passage of time.
I. Chomby Party
The first and main quest of the game is to achieve the ultimate Chomby Party. The Chomby Party will occur after fulfilling certain criteria or reaching the last day of your chomby's lifespan, whichever comes first. The player is graded on the quality of their party, which is reflected in subsequent playthroughs by unlocking unique decorations or profile badges.
II. Torment of the Flies
The first obstacle the player must overcome are the lalaflies. The first lalafly will invade the nest after the 2nd day. The second lalafly will arrive after collecting 100qL of nectur, which activates the quest.
This quest simply asks the user to rid the nest of the lalaflies. As lalaflies will continue to come back, this quest cannot be resolved until completing a certain end-game quest.
- Reward: None
III. Chomby Upsetty
After reaching 50 Happyness or below, this quest is unlocked. Chomby will be locked to max 50 Happyness until this quest is resolved. The player must contact the Chomby Whisperer, which allows the user to communicate basically with their chomby. The chomby will then express want for either food, decoration, or iPhone. Upon being given what is asked for, the quest is resolved, and your chomby is reset at 100 Happyness.
- Reward: x1 Pity Pebble
IV. Chomby Family
The game often prompts the user to engage in its social element, where chomby owners from across the globe can connect and view each others' chombies. The player must give their chomby a picture of another user's chomby.
On subsequent playthroughs, if the user has a Girl Chomby, this quest will allow the chomby to have a chance to lay eggs.
- Reward: x1 Family Foto
V. Pearberry Island?
If the player upgrades the nest to be coastal, this quest unlocks. The chomby will whine, signaling that it sees the distant silhouette of Pearberry Island on the horizon. This quest exists to advertise the Pearberry Island live-service game and cannot be resolved.
