How to NOT fail Week 1
By mikufranzu
A guide on how to NOT fail Week 1 of Hush Hush. In order to get through week 1 without anyone dying is to meet all the 5 main girls before July 7th. This guide also explain which traits you should upgrade in order to get all best possible dialogue options for dates. On week 1 atleast. Also do a habit of saving every point of the day (ex. July 1 Afternoon, July 1 Evening) just in case you messed up or missed something.

NOTE: this guide will only use Light Karma only as Im aiming to get the "Summa ♥♥♥ Laude achievement".

Choose the Mall first to meet Cassie

Evening
-Meet the Fortune Teller and the other Purple event ones
then go meet Mio at the Arcade

Night

then Flip burgers at Dawn for coffee money
July 2
Morning
- You will get a text from Eli for Iro's first date, any answer will trigger the date schedule anyway.
- Get coffee from the Cafe to get +1 light karma trait (it will differ depending on which dialogue Lotus or Dmitri will say, sometimes they give Suave or Techsavvy, most of the time its Motivation)
- Always go to the purple events as it wont advance the time.
- Choose to go to the Beach event to meet Lotus, picking the first dialogue option will grant you +1 on each light karma traits.

Afternoon
- You will get a text from Mio asking you on a date, at this point you need to refuse since we don't have enough Techsavvy trait to have the best score for her date. Don't worry since Mio is one of the girls you can resched without being upset.
- Choose the Bakery event to meet Elle.

Evening
- You will get a text from Cassie, ignore it for now and don't reply anything.
- Go to the Beach event to get +3 Lucky trait.

Night
- Its a bit tricky for this one, you need to check if you have enough Motivation trait for Iro's date the next day, so if you have atleast 4-5 motivation, then just choose to flip burgers. If not then get the motivation trait.
- Flip burgers at Dawn as well. (You need atleast $10 for an event in the afternoon the next day)
July 3
Morning
- You will get a text from Bonbon asking you on a date. I accepted it since there's no other main girl events for the evening the next day.
- You will also get a text from Elle asking you on a date, choose to say you'll try to make it since we're gonna have to stood her up for Cassie's date. (Elle's more forgiving than Cassie so prioritize Cassie first)
- If you have enough money for a coffee then choose to buy it, also for the fortune teller. Make sure to save atleast $10 for an event in the Afternoon.
- Then go on Iro's date at the park.

Dialogue choices for Iro's first date in order:
"Well, I THOUGHT I was jogging, but then I saw you do it. I think I've been doing it wrong..."
"That's the best idea I've heard all day. Let's do it." needs Lvl 2 Motivation
"I've been working on my Motivation Stat. I can do this all day."
"So, your name is Iro? Is that Canadian or something?" followed by "Haji may you what now?"
"So, tell me about Eli." followed by "You guys have similar taste in hairstyles."
"Can I say something a bit crass? You are fit as hell. You look amazing." followed by "Yup. (Flex)" needs Lvl 1 Buff
"Side note: I love your hair. It's subtle."
"The burning is good right? Im digging the burning." needs Lvl 4 Motivation
"So I've got a ridiculous question for you. Permission to ask." followed by "Paleo or Keto?"
"May I ask you something sensitive?" followed by "What its like having a large family? Do you get on with your parents?" asking this will trigger Iro's first secret.
"I've got an inappropriate question. May I ask?" followed by "Do you ever skip a leg day? For real. Be honest."
"Thank you for taking my survey. I'll get you that $5 Amaze-on! gift card."
"I'm game. Let's hit that second wind and finish strong." needs Lvl 6 Motivation
"So what's your favorite thing to do? Other than climbing and running and all that jazz." followed by "Sounds amazing."
"So is there any sort of tragic past I should know about you? Any oaths of vengeance you want to share?" followed by "Good. Better to run towards something rather than away."
"So... run any good marathons lately?" followed by "Is that good?"
"Looks like the lighthouse is just ahead."
"YES. I mean... Yes please. Or something. Sorry - Dehydrated."

- After the date you should be able to get the A+ achievement on the first date with Iro.

- Choose the Park event and throw in the $10 you saved up to get +1 on all light karma traits.

Dialogue choices for a successful flirt with Nimh in order:
(Signal: It looks so handsome on you)
(Signal: Not sure I would have to check. *Wink wink*)
(Signal: Ask him what he wants to drink again!)
(Signal: Ask for his number!)

Iro Date - July 3 Morning
Elle Date - July 4 Afternoon
Bonnibel Date - July 4 Evening
Cassie Date - July 4 Afternoon


July 4
Morning
- Go to the Beach event and choose to take a stroll. (You need to be Lvl 8 Lucky in order to trigger this option) This is very crucial to your date for Cassie since you'll need atleast $160 dollars to impress her. (Also atleast Lvl 4 Buff) If you picked this option it'll give you +1 Lucky trait and $777.

Afternoon
- Here you got 2 dates: Cassie and Elle which is inevitable, you'll have to prioritize Cassie since she's not the forgiving type. Don't worry about Elle as she'll gladly resched the next day.
- Go to the Mall event for Cassie's first date.

Dialogue choices for Cassie's first date in order:
"I ain't done. What would you suggest I 'whip' out?" needs Lvl 2 Buff
"Minsc no. 5? Is that why you smell like a grandmother?" followed by "Babe Im just playing. No offense, but you're pretty hot when you're pissed."
"I just got paid. I've got cash and time, girl. Give me your three wishes." needs $160 to unlock
"Bring it on." needs Lvl 5 Buff to unlock
"Eli's legit. Hooked me up with your number, actually."
"Your wish is my command." needs $160 to unlock
"Real talk - that bra is mega cute on you. Just wanted to say. Let's roll." needs Lvl 2 Suave
"So... the shoplifting thing.." picking this dialogue will unlock Cassie's first secret.
"I just... I think its kind of hot. That's all." needs Lvl 4 Suave
"(Flex) Hmm? Oh sorry, were you saying something? I was thinking about you naked again." needs Lvl 3 Buff
"Back up. Before I knock up every damn tooth out of your mouth." needs Lvl 7 Buff
"Yeah I can reschedule. You promised to embarass me. Im not gonna let you break that promise."

-After this date, it should unlock the A+ achievement on Cassie's first date.

Evening
- Eli will send you a text, asking you on a date. Accept it. or not, its just a side quest like Bonbon. (why not tho he's the best character in the game tbh)
- Go to the Cafe for Bonbon's first date.

Dialogue choices for Bonbon's first date in order:
"Given present company, I figure I'd have a grand time just waiting in line at the bank."
"I'll have a caramel macchiato with sprinkles."
"I like coffee like I like my women. A whole lot."
"Fear not. My love for pastries is only outdone by my adoration for charming accents and pretty eyes."
"I kind of love them."
"So you're a full time baker? That's a sweet job."
"I've only been here for a short time, but this town is giving me a mixed vibes. Like its fun, but also kind of... you know?"
"My cookies always come out a bit... foamy? Bubble-y? Its hard to describe. Any ideas?"
"Forgot to cheers. Here's to good coffee and great company."
"I use my hands. My cookies suck."
"Oh no. if its 'Bless your heart', I have been grossly misinterpreting how my friends in Kentucky feel about me..."
"I'd say 'Thank goodness for those eyes'" needs Lvl 10 Suave but since we don't have enough Suave lvl for this trait, choose "Like looking at the sun. Quick peek. Then enjoy the after-burn." instead. NOTE: this is the only date that we don't have enough Light Karma trait to choose the best dialogue option, but its not much of a big deal since she's not one of the main girls. I guess?
"My calendar just suddenly cleared completely."

Night
- Get Suave +2 (We need to increase our Suave trait for Elle)
- Get TechSavvy +2 at Dawn (For Mio, I guess)



July 5
Morning
- You will receive a text from Elle to resched the date. Do it.
- For the event, I chose the Arcade since you'll get to meet Ruri here and unplugging the Guy's plug will grant you +1 Techsavvy and $1000. ;)

Afternoon
- You will receive another text from Mio and accept it this time.
- Go to the Park event to go on Eli's first date.

Dialogue choices for Eli's first date in order:
"Walking around places is tight."
"Things started off a bit slow, but are just now becoming interesting."
"I've got my Red Zeal in fumbling. I could do it with one hand tied behind my back."
"Favorite dish? You couldn't cook it. You'd have to order it from Zanzibar."
"Hmmm.. Maybe. If you're good."
"Holy crap! I... I had no idea..." (any dialogue is good for this but I picked this option.)
"So... Are you a girl? A guy? Do you have a preferred pronoun?"
"Wait, Are you into guys? Or girls?"
"Is this, like, an open secret?"
"Well... This has been educational."
"Im actually even more interested now. If that's possible."
"You had me at 'fashion show'."
"(Kiss him.)"

-After the date, it should unlock the A+ achievement for Eli's first date.

Evening
- Go to the Arcade event for Mio's date. (You need to be atleast Lvl 6 Techsavvy to get best result)

Dialogue choices for Mio's first date in order:
"Threatening me that I'll be the one "going down" tonight is a critical error. Do what you will - I've already won." needs Lvl 4 Suave
"I was just looking for a tourist trap to fall into for a month. Sun, surf, game, flirt."
"Tell me about yourself. You probably like stuff, hey?"
"So let me guess: you're a gamer girl with a heart of gold, on the search for... missing diamonds?"
"So... Time for the big question. What's your favorite video game?"
"Is this the scene that will get our dialogue censored in Australia?
"Set my controls inverted. I play 98 style." needs Lvl 2 Techsavvy
"Give it your all! Surely you can defeat an alt." needs Lvl 4 Techsavvy
"Play to win." needs Lvl 4 Techsavvy
"(Activate casual mode. Give her a chance.)
"Don't worry. The stuff on the bottom always tastes better than on the top."
"So may I ask you something kind of ridiculous?" followed by "If you could be any item in Smashed Bruhs, what would you be?"
"Can I ask you a sensitive question?" followed by "Can you prove to me you're a REAL gamer girl? What's your ping?" needs Lvl 8 Techsavvy (choosing this dialogue will trigger Mio's first secret"
"So can I ask you something maybe a little... inappropriate?" followed by "What is your deepest, darkest secret?"
"This concludes the question and answer potion of our date."
"I love motion controls. There I said it." needs Lvl 10 Techsavvy
"Jokes on you. I'm into that ♥♥♥♥."
"Not exactly the most romantic setting for that, but I'm following you."
"Hahaha! That's crazy AND dumb. And I love it."
"Tickle Mio" followed by "Have a tickle fight? Yes, yes I do."

-After the date Im not sure why it didn't give us an A+ instead of A but we got all the traits covered and that's good enough for me.

Night
- Here I just went for Lucky and Suave trait. Just make sure you got atleast Lvl 14 in Suave and Lvl 10 in Lucky for Elle and Quill date.
July 6
Morning
- Pretty much uneventful since we just need to complete 2 dates at this point. Just go to the Cafe to get +1 on all light karma traits from Lotus's coffee.

Afternoon
- Go for coffee for the +1 light karma trait
- Go to the Reed Mansion for Elle's first date. (need atleast Lvl 14 Suave for best results)

Dialogue options for Elle's first date:
"I leave business at the office. But it would be my pleasure coming in. Miss Reed is expecting me."
need Lvl 7 Suave to unlock
"Nice to meet you. I see pink hair runs in the family. Or perhaps you have the same hair stylist?" NOTE: I think this dialogue: "Ahh yes, Dorian Reed. Your reputation precedes you. The pleasure is mine." is the best option but since it needs Lvl 1 in Manipulation - which is a Dark karma trait, we cannot use it to get the "Summa ♥♥♥ laude" achievement, which is strictly no use of any Dark karma traits or jobs. Just putting it out there.
"I haven't really known Elle enough to have established intentions..."
"I met Elle in the Bakery, and she seemed wonderful. I just wanted to ask her out, get to know her."
"I'm so glad to see you. When I saw Dorian's hair, I thought he was you for a moment and started flirting with him."
"Well, as I like to say - only precious things are worth protecting." needs Lvl 15 Suave to unlock
"Wouldn't miss it for the world."
"I don't even know what 'parvenu' means, but it sounds really pretty the way you say it." needs LVl 16 Suave to unlock
"The view is definitely pretty, from where I'm standing."
"Should... Should I say it out loud? I thought you looked kind, interesting and pretty. It took all my nerve to say hello..."
"I've always wanted to ask someone with a mansion - is there a secret cave underneath it? Like, in case you wanted to become a superhero?"
"I do have a burning question. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? I MUST KNOW!"
"Your brother said something about a 'bad spell'? Can I ask what he meant?"
"Isn't that where you can create and control zombies?"
"Just my opinion - but it sounds like you've got it handled. Is your brother overdoing the whole 'protect Elle' thing?" choosing this option will trigger Elle's first secret.
"You took the words right out of my mouth. So I'll take the answer I'm hoping for right from yours: yes."
"The pleasure is all mine."

-After the date, you should have the A+ achievement on Elle's first date.

Evening
- You'll get a notification on your phone that someone was on your house. And that's where you'll meet Quill and have the "first date" with her. (need atleast Lvl 10 Lucky for best results)

Dialogue options for Quill's first date:
"Uh, sure. But I guess I should interview you first? Can't just let any old porch sleeper guard my porch."
"Alright, let me ask you a question... The porch is on fire. What do you do?"
"Hey listen... It's really dreadful out. Do you want to just come inside? I've got... milk? Probably some tuna?"
"Frankly, I'm not sure where I'm sleeping. So let's both find out, together."
"Don't worry about the water. It's no match for the power of 'ignoring it until it dries'."
"Are you sure you want to lick yourself clean? I can't imagine it would be entirely pleasant."
"(Help bathe her, but try not to look and give as much distance as possible.)"
"Yeah. I chased away the owner, and took all his canned fish."
"(Scratch her ear)" this will trigger Quill's first secret.
"I was just thinking how lucky it was that it was raining. Otherwise I might not have met you." needs Lvl 10 Lucky to unlock
"There's a bunch of stuff I'm really worried about too. Like... I'm in danger, sometimes."
"You're not really a shy kitty, are you? Is it OK if I give you pets?"
"Why don't you take my bed tonight, and I'll sleep out here? We'll figure out the rest tomorrow."
"Good night, Quill."

At this point, if Fumi didn't knock on your door then you know you did it right. Congrats! I had to replay the game multiple times to figure out how to NOT let one of the girls "die", so if you're one of those ppl then you're not alone ;)

Ayeun 31 Aug, 2022 @ 10:22pm

mikufranzu  [author] 30 Aug, 2022 @ 10:02am 
made a video about week 2.. will post a guide soon ^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LozYYB88Vs
olliedragon 29 Aug, 2022 @ 11:44am 
i think that the way to get A+ on mio's date is to say "segue away". forgot to save so cant check right now, but she says smth about "always wanting to hear that" so it might work?
SimpButBroke 29 Aug, 2022 @ 11:35am 
I can't wait for the full guide, if that is happening of course. This game is Rough
SimpButBroke 29 Aug, 2022 @ 11:18am 
This was good guide, thank you. It was quite painful without this guide honestly
stevenhorbury622 28 Aug, 2022 @ 7:02am

mikufranzu  [author] 27 Aug, 2022 @ 5:21pm 
yes, I think it'll be about 5 weeks? since you get to date all of them once per week and they have 5 total secrets each. not sure since Im still on the 3rd week ^^
stevenhorbury622 27 Aug, 2022 @ 5:17am
