Plan your next Mayor May Knott session

Our independent guide breaks down Mayor May Knott’s core loops—ghost communication, music‑driven recipes, monster residency, puzzles, and community growth—so you can see how each piece fits together without missing any documented content.

01 / THE GUIDE

Ghost Name Log

Write down each ghost’s name and the clue that revealed it. Cross‑reference this list with the Hall of Records to locate matching records quickly.

  • Listen for name clues in each ghost’s dialogue before heading to the Hall of Records.
  • After naming a ghost, head straight to the Hall of Records to locate the matching record.

02 / THE GUIDE

Record‑Recipe Tracker

After playing a record, note the song title and the recipe it taught. This helps you remember which items you can craft for future ghost requests.

  • Play every record you discover; each adds a useful recipe.
  • Keep a short note of which recipe each song provides for quick reference.

03 / THE GUIDE

Monster Schedule Chart

Mark the times each monster appears during day and night cycles. Use the chart to plan when to deliver house keys for new residents.

  • Observe when each monster appears to plan key deliveries.
  • Check the town after delivering a key to confirm the monster has moved in.

04 / THE GUIDE

Puzzle Mechanics Review

For each puzzle you solve, jot down the main mechanic (deduction, item collection, etc.). Reviewing these notes can reveal patterns that simplify later challenges.

  • Take brief notes on puzzle clues; they may reappear later.
  • Try each minigame at least once to discover what it yields.

05 / THE GUIDE

Community Progress Sketch

Mark every repaired building and new resident on a simple sketch of the town. Visualizing growth helps decide where to focus next for maximum impact.

  • Keep helping ghosts to collect house keys and grow the town steadily.
  • Balance day and night activities to interact with both ghosts and monsters.
