Life at P.C.A.
So you've met your roommates, unpacked your things and hopefully claimed the single bed. What now? Why, it's time to get out there and meet your fellow Stingrays, of course! Everyone at P.C.A. is a member of one of three groups: the Boys, the Girls, and the Faculty.
Basic Controls
•
+Control Pad: Move Between Groups/Group Members
•
A Button: Select Group/Group Member
•
B Button: Cancel Selection
Select a group to highlight individual characters. Each character will have a Request for Zoey. Completing a Request will earn you Friendship Points. The better you do, the more Friendship Points you'll earn.
Finish all of a group's Requests and they'll issue you a Dare. Complete the same group's Dare and they'll offer you a Challenge. You can move on to the next semester as soon as you beat a single Challenge, but you'll make more friends by helping out everyone you can.
Extracurricular Activities
In order to complete Requests, Dares, and Challenges, Zoey will have to win a variety of mini-games. No matter what game you're playing, you can press START at any time to bring up the pause screen. From there you can resume the game, read the instructions again, or exit back to the group select screen. Here are some of the games you'll find yourself playing as Zoey tries to make new friends at P.C.A.
Pause Screen Options
Disc Golf
The girls realize they can get out of running laps in gym class if they play a sport, so they form a disc golf team. But of course, a disc golf team has to play disc golf.
