How to Unlock & Upgrade Hobbies in Heartopia

Heartopia is a peaceful and laid-back life simulation game where you can enjoy activities like fishing, gardening, cooking, and taking care of animals. Hobbies are key to the game – they’re fun, and they also let you earn money, experience, and special badges that unlock new things. Currently, Heartopia features seven different hobbies. This guide will show you how to unlock and improve each one.

How to Unlock All Hobbies in Heartopia

In Heartopia, you can enjoy seven different hobbies: Fishing, Gardening, Bug Catching, Bird Watching, Cooking, taking care of Cats, and taking care of Dogs. To start any of these, you’ll need a Hobby Expansion Ticket. You earn these tickets by completing the game’s tutorials, leveling up as a developer, or just playing the game. Keep in mind that tickets are limited, so choose your hobbies carefully!

The table below details all the hobbies in Heartopia and how you can unlock them:

Hobby How to Unlock
Fishing Fishing is unlocked during the early tutorial. Vanya, the Fishing Mentor, pays a visit to your house with a fishing rod and a Hobby Expansion Ticket. You need to use the ticket to unlock Fishing right away.
Gardening Gardening is unlocked during the tutorial, along with Fishing. Blanc, the Gardening Mentor, brings a watering can, planters, several tomato seed packets, and a Hobby Expansion Ticket to unlock Gardening immediately.
Insect Catching At Developer Level 6, you receive a Hobby Expansion Ticket and can choose one hobby from Insect Catching, Bird Watching, or Cooking. Meet Niawa in their garden near the river and talk to all three mentors to learn about Insect Catching. Return with your ticket to unlock it.
Bird Watching This hobby unlocks at Developer Level 6. Talk to Bailey J upstairs at the pet store and complete the mentor conversations. Return with your Hobby Expansion Ticket to unlock Bird Watching.
Cooking This hobby also unlocks at Developer Level 6. Visit Masimo outside his café in the town center and talk to the mentors. Use your Hobby Expansion Ticket to unlock Cooking.
Cat Care This hobby unlocks at Developer Level 12. You need to buy a kitten from Mrs. Joan at the pet shop, then use a Hobby Expansion Ticket to activate Cat Care.
Dog Care This hobby is also available at Developer Level 12, but requires completing Cat Care first. Buy a puppy from Mrs. Joan and use a Hobby Expansion Ticket to unlock Dog Care.

How to Upgrade Hobbies in Heartopia

Once you start a hobby, you can improve it with Hobby Upgrade Tickets. The more you engage in hobby activities – such as fishing, gardening, or insect catching – the more proficiency points you’ll gain. You’ll also earn extra points by completing collections and discovering new items.

Once you’ve maxed out a hobby, you can improve it further using a Hobby Upgrade Ticket from the hobby menu. Upgrading your hobbies unlocks new recipes, increases your chances of success, and provides other benefits, making them even more enjoyable and productive.
