Mastering the Surprise Guest interaction is crucial for maximizing Devil Point (DP), Grimm, and item rewards in Obey Me. Here's the optimal strategy:
Mastering the Interaction Process
Always aim for Excellent interactions:
- Know Your Demon: Immediately scan the Surprise Guest for 1-2 icons indicating their preferences (Food, Drink, Game, etc.). Prioritize matching icons over mismatched ones.
- Perfect Timing & Sequence:
- Icon Tap: Tap the matching icons as soon as they light up. Hesitation often leads to a "Good" rating. Prioritize order if multiple light up simultaneously.
- QTE Circles: Tap the shrinking circle precisely when it aligns with the white outline. Perfect timing yields points toward "Excellent."
- Memory Management:
- Save Memory: Never burn through high-capacity memory items (Bottles, Chains, Cans) frivolously. These are finite.
- Prioritize Events: Use significant memory primarily during High-Yield Events or when you desperately need points or rewards.
- Daily Grind: Utilize the low-capacity daily free resets (Shards, Fragments) strategically to extend interactions without wasting premium items.
Strategic Preparation & Execution
- Plan Around Events: Surprise Guest performance is critical during Pop Quizzes, Birthday Events, and Nightmare events for bonus points. Focus intensely on getting "Excellent" consistently during these times.
- Maximize Free Resets: Daily free memory resets are valuable. Use them to push for extra "Excellent" ratings or collect specific rewards (like Grimm boosts) without consuming Bottles/Chains.
- Reward Selection: After multiple "Excellent" interactions, you'll unlock bonus reward choices. Prioritize higher-value rewards like Demon Vouchers (if offered), UR Jokers, or large amounts of DP/Grimm based on your current needs. Avoid low-value items like small amounts of AP.
- Location & Setup: Interact in a quiet location to minimize distractions and focus on precise timing during the QTE stages.
Maximizing Long-Term Gains
Consistency over Bursts: Regularly achieving "Excellent" using free/refillable memory yields more resources in the long run than infrequent bursts using all your Bottles/Chains at once. Patience pays off.

Resource Allocation: Hoard high-capacity memory items for crucial moments where extra Surprise Guest runs significantly boost your event ranking or help clear a key battle stage node during Pop Quizzes. Treat them as strategic assets.
