The charming world of Hello Kitty Island Adventure is growing! What started as an Apple Arcade exclusive is now heading to Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox in 2025. With exciting new content, features, and updates, players have a lot to look forward to—whether they're returning fans or newcomers ready to embark on their first island adventure!
Hello Kitty Island Adventure is a cozy life-simulation and adventure game developed and published by Sunblink in collaboration with Sanrio. The game first launched on Apple Arcade in July 2023 and quickly became a fan favorite among players who enjoy relaxing, wholesome gameplay.
In Hello Kitty Island Adventure, players take on the role of a visitor to Big Adventures Park, a tropical paradise filled with Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty, My Melody, Keroppi, Pompompurin, and many more. The goal? Help restore the island to its former glory by completing quests, crafting items, solving puzzles, and forming friendships with beloved characters.
The game features a variety of activities, including:
With its adorable art style, relaxing atmosphere, and expansive customization options, Hello Kitty Island Adventure has drawn comparisons to games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley—offering a similarly immersive and heartwarming experience.
A Pickaxe is an essential tool for breaking boulders and uncovering hidden treasures on the island. Here's how you can craft one:
To unlock the Pickaxe, you must reach Friendship Level 11 with My Melody and complete the quests 'Dessert-ed Boat' and 'Parched' (which requires Friendship Level 4 with Pompompurin). Once you start 'Revive the Oasis', follow My Melody and Keroppi to the blocked water source, where they'll suggest talking to Chococat for a solution.
Chococat will provide the Pickaxe Crafting Plans, allowing you to craft it at any Crafting Station using:
Once crafted, the Pickaxe allows you to break boulders across the island, revealing treasure chests, hidden paths, and other surprises.
Yellow Power Crystals are key to unlocking different areas of Big Adventures Park, specifically the Resort Gate leading to Spooky Swamp. You'll need three of these crystals, which can be found in the following locations:
Located left of Chococat's tent, this puzzle room contains the first Yellow Power Crystal. Solve the bridge puzzle to obtain it.
Located on the far left side of Seaside Resort, past Tuxedosam's shop. Complete the puzzle here to earn the second Yellow Power Crystal.
Cross the broken bridge north of Resort Plaza (repaired with 2 Strawberry Crates from My Melody). Once repaired, head to the right side of the Cozy Islands Beach to find the final Yellow Power Crystal.
After collecting all three crystals, interact with the Resort Gate near Chococat's tent to unlock Spooky Swamp!
With the console release of Hello Kitty Island Adventure coming soon, many players are wondering about save data transfers and cross-play. Here's what you need to know:
Unfortunately, if you've been playing on Apple Arcade, your save data will not transfer to the Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation, or Xbox versions. Players who switch platforms will have to start fresh.
Multiplayer will be restricted to players on the same platform, meaning Apple Arcade users cannot play with console players.
Players opting for the Deluxe Edition on Switch & PC will receive exclusive event items, crafting recipes, and a starter bundle to help speed up early progression.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure continues to evolve, bringing exciting tools, quests, and updates. With the upcoming console release, players can expect even more ways to experience the cozy world of Sanrio's beloved characters.
