Tide Bistro: Seaside Merge

Forty days after Grandma passed, Lin Xi comes home to Tide Bay to run the little bistro she left behind. On opening day, an anonymous complaint nearly shuts it down. Who made the call—and why?

MERGE & SERVE Tap generators for flour, tea leaves, clams and more. Drag matching items together to make new dishes, serve the townsfolk's orders, and clear the sea mist from the board. Link five matching items for a double merge. Now and then a shiny item drops—serve it in an order for double coins.

RESTORE GRANDMA'S BISTRO Fix up 38 spots across the bistro, its seaside garden, and Season 2's lighthouse café, pier market, and beach campsite. Choose one of three styles for each spot, and switch styles for free.

FOLLOW A SEASIDE STORY Season 1 has 8 story days and 38 scenes: a pay phone, half a land deed, and a missing recipe page. Season 2, “The Shop by the Lighthouse,” unlocks one chapter every Friday—a storm night, old photographs, a summer night market, and choices you make in the conversation. Story days are chapters, not a required daily schedule.

TIDE SEASON: SOMETHING TO DO EVERY DAY Each four-week season brings a 108-card album of small Tide Bay stories, a 30-tier pass with every reward free, a Weekend Market, and a weekly event that alternates between the Decor Ladder and the Order Sprint—plus three daily goals. Events run on your device's calendar, with no internet required.

THE PEOPLE OF TIDE BAY Serve the regulars to raise their hearts and unlock short scenes and memory cards. Check the gossip board by the door for the town's latest news. Sometimes a message bottle washes up with an old story, or a VIP stops by for a limited time.
