Tiny Bookshop Tourists: How to Deter Visitors

In Tiny Bookshop’s The Waterfront area, removing tourists ties into a memory challenge and involves a clever environmental tactic. The key lies in utilizing the **Spoiled Fish** decoration, which naturally deters unwanted visitors by attracting seagulls.

Unlocking Tourist Removal Mechanics

  • This feature becomes available during Walt’s memory challenge: The Cruise Ship Must Go.
  • Tourists only appear when the cruise ship event is active at The Waterfront. Track event timing via the Bookstonbury Review calendar.

Deterring Tourists Effectively

  • Place at least one **Spoiled Fish** decoration in/near your shop to attract seagulls.
  • Multiple Spoiled Fish decorations amplify the effect: more fish = faster tourist departures.

Acquiring Spoiled Fish Decorations

  • Obtain this item by interacting with the garbage bin at Cafe Liberte during the Harde Times stamp challenge.
  • Once unlocked, add it to your shop using the customization menu.
