About Garden Paws
You inherit your grandparents' farm and must help rebuild the nearby town. By running a shop, farming, fishing, mining, crafting, and completing quests you earn coins that fund home expansions and new town buildings, each unlocking fresh quests, shops, and areas to explore.
Garden Paws supports up to three friends in co‑op and a Creative lobby for up to 32 players. Ten animal characters, over 400 skins, and extensive clothing customization let you personalize your avatar while you grow the town together.
01 / THE GUIDE
Town Building & Upgrades
Work with Frank at the construction shop to commission new buildings. Each building adds unique upgrades, shops, quests, and sometimes new areas such as the mining camp that opens caves and geodes.
When a building is completed the town expands, and natural disasters may strike. Helping the townsfolk rebuild after these events unlocks additional quests and keeps the town’s development moving forward.
- Prioritize buildings that introduce new quest lines for steady content.
- Watch for disaster notifications; repairing them often yields extra quest opportunities.

Farming & Crops
Collect seeds from wild flowers or buy them from Sammy the Seed Seller, till soil with a hoe, and water daily until crops are ready to harvest. Harvested produce can be sold, cooked, or turned into bouquets for higher profit.
Rainy days water crops automatically, and sprinklers let you automate watering so you can focus on other tasks without crops withering.
- Place sprinklers early to free up time for mining or quests.
- Keep an eye out for rainy days and plan your watering tasks around them.

Shop Management
Open your shop between 12:00 and 18:00 to sell over 1,000 items, from raw materials to crafted goods. Upgrading the shop changes a single‑table stand into a larger display with mannequins for accessories.
If you need a break, you can hire an assistant to run the shop while you explore, fish, or craft elsewhere, keeping sales steady.
- Upgrade the shop to grow from a small single-table stand into a larger, more extravagant display.
- Schedule an assistant during peak hours to maintain a constant income flow.
04 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer & Creative Lobby
Invite up to three friends for online co‑op or host a Creative lobby that supports up to 32 players who can build and hang out together. As host you control public or private access, letting friends fully interact in your world.
Twitch integration lets active chat viewers appear as customers and type commands that affect the game, adding another layer of interaction during streams.
- Start with a small co‑op session to coordinate building projects before expanding to a large lobby.
- Enable Twitch integration for streams that want live viewer participation.

Character Customization
Choose from ten animal characters, each with a unique appearance, and personalize them with over 400 skins and more than 150 dye‑able clothing items found in chests, quests, or purchased from Splash.
Home interiors can also be painted with classic colors or galaxy‑themed walls and floors, letting you match your farm’s aesthetic to your character’s style.
- Mix dyeable items to create distinct looks without spending extra coins.
- Collect skins from quests to diversify your wardrobe without purchasing.
