For answers to commonly asked Willy Builder questions, see below.


All piñatas need a place to call home. Housing provides a safe and private space for piñatas, where they can rest or romance. In fact, building a house for a species is one of its Romance requirements.


Each species of piñata has its own unique style of house, that no other species can enter. After you place the desired housing piece, a shop owner named Willy Builder will wander over to construct it. Once he is finished, you can use your shovel to smash the temporary construction barrier, and reveal your piñata's new home.


Selling a house lowers the happiness for all piñatas of that species. If you sell a house that has an unhatched egg, the egg will be destroyed.


Piñata Housing

Housing for a species is available from Willy Builder once that species becomes a resident (in the case of the Mystery Home both the Rashberry and the Swanana must have been a resident).

Commonly asked questions
Why do all pinatas [of a species] tend to flock to the same house?

This is an innate ability that all pinatas possess, illustrating the adage 'Birds of a feather flock together.' Fortunately it only applies to when they're tired and want to sleep. When romancing, they'll seek the closest house. Clever gardeners who desire to mass-romance a species can use this to their advantage, by carefully situating multiple houses in a garden.

My Helper House has disappeared. Any ideas?

The most likely culprits are the Ruffians. If they've been visiting your garden, one of them probably smashed it while your back was turned. Get yourself a Captain's Cutlass to keep them out of your garden. The other (less likely) possibilities are that it's turned invisible, or that someone else has been playing in your garden, and sold it. View thread


What level do you have to be to get the Mystery House?

The Mystery Home should show up in the Housing list (not Special Buildings), once you've got a Rashberry. It should initially appear as Mystery Home (with a ? icon or Pigxie icon). View thread
