Owl Helpers – Automate Your Tavern!



In response to player feedback, we’ve introduced  owl helpers  to the game! These cute, intelligent creatures are here to assist with the daily operations of your tavern. Whether it’s cleaning, collecting dirty dishes, taking orders, or serving meals, the owl helpers will automate much of the tavern routine, giving you more time to explore and focus on other activities.

Cleaner Owl
Helps with cleaning the tavern and maintaining order.

Waiter Owl
Takes orders and serves food to the customers.

Players can easily activate these helpers by purchasing their respective owl houses from the in-game shop. This feature was highly requested, with over 80% of players asking for automated helpers, particularly for solo players who found the tavern work overwhelming. Now, even solo players can enjoy a more relaxed and engaging gameplay experience!
