Instructions
Load a saved garden using Player 1's Xbox 360 controller. Couch Social is more enjoyable for both players if there is already a somewhat developed garden to play in.
Plug in or activate a second controller to the Xbox 360 console. Either plug the controller into one of the two USB ports on the front of the console or hold the central "Guide" button until it activates.
Press the "A" button on Player 2's controller to start playing Couch Social. The second player will have access to basic tools such as the watering can and the shovel, but will not be able to do potentially unwanted actions such as selling pinata animals to the store.
