    HOW TO PLAY
    Once you’ve checked a guest into your loft, chat with them often to keep them happy: Try, “Alexa, talk to my guest”
    Guests check out the next day. The more stars you’ve earned, the more they’ll pay you. You can spend your hard-earned coins in the store to buy new decorations, props, and wallpapers: Try, “Alexa, what’s for sale?”
    All items in the game rated for Comfort, Coolness, and Weirdness. The higher each of these ratings get, the more new guests you’ll unlock. At any point, you can check your Guest List to see who’s in town, and invite back your favorite people: Try, “Alexa, open my guest list”
    You can tap on an item to move it, sell it, or transfer it into Storage, where you can access it later. You can rearrange the furniture in your loft at any time: Try, “Alexa, design mode”
    To move through your loft, you can try, “Alexa, go to the living room,” “Alexa, go to the bedroom,” or, if you’ve unlocked it, “Alexa, go to the library”
    HINTS & TIPS
    If you get a guest’s happiness to 5 stars, you’ll get a special, unique gift. Try to collect them all!
    To access your storage, try, “Alexa, open my storage”
    If you’ve purchased in-skill purchases, they’ll always be available from storage. Try, “Alexa, open my storage”
    Didn’t hear what a guest said? Try, “repeat that?”
    Items in the store refresh every hour or so – check back often for those rare items!
    Sometimes guests get tired of chatting. Give them an hour or so to rest up, and they’ll be ready to talk again soon.
    Tired of an annoying guest? Try, “Alexa, kick out my guest”
    Everybody likes to dance. Try, “Alexa, ask my guest to dance”
    You can turn off the music, by saying “Alexa, mute music” or “Alexa, turn music on”
