What Are the Factory Requests on Viva Pinata?

Factory Requests Basics

• Children around the world need Pinatas at birthday parties and other celebrations. Pinata gardeners, such as yourself, supply the Pinatas that parents request. All requests go through the "Pinata Central" organization. Langston, a "Pinata Central" representative, tells you about requests. Children at the party break the Pinata to get the tasty candy inside, but this actually makes your Pinata happy. "Pinata Central" repairs the Pinata after the party, and the Pinata is ready to fulfill a "Factory Request" again.

Getting Factory Requests

• To get "Factory Requests," you need to prove your Pinata-raising ability to "Pinata Central." You do this when you reach level 14 as a gardener. To get to level 14, plant trees and flowers to make your garden hospitable to Pinatas. Attract many different Pinata species and breed them. You earn experience for each action you take in your garden. At level 14, Langston sends you your first "Factory Request."

Sending Pinatas to Parties

• When you get a "Factory Request," you can accept or reject it. If you think you can fulfill the request, accept it, and a shipping crate appears in the garden. Read the request carefully to find out the type of Pinata needed. Some Pinatas need to wear a certain outfit or accessory before they can go to a party; if so, the "Factory Request" will tell you this. A Pinata must also reach maximum candiosity before it can leave for the party. Give the Pinata its favorite food, such as happy candy, to make it reach maximum candiosity.

  When the Pinata is ready to go, hover the cursor over the crate. Press the "Y" button. Highlight the Pinata you want to send and press "A" to pack it. If you need to send another Pinata, highlight it and press "A." The box ships automatically when you fill it properly.

Rewards and Benefits

• After a few days, your Pinata leaves the party and goes to "Pinata Central," where workers refill it with candy and repair it. When the Pinata reaches your garden, it drops several pieces of happy candy. Happy candies are a Pinata's favorite treat. When eaten, they usually fill a Pinata to maximum candiosity. When you fulfill five "Factory Requests," you earn the 20-point "Challenger" Achievement. At 20 fulfilled "Factory Requests," you get the 20-point "Master Challenger" Achievement.
