Why this order works
The telescope, sad ghost, and barbell form a compact opening loop and provide Talented, Strong, and Quick. The two music objectives then unlock Flying, which removes the main traversal barrier.
Flowers unlock Cleaner; bottles unlock Engineer. Those jobs feed directly into cleaning the island and fixing the leak. Cleaning unlocks Cool, the last trait needed to sell the house.
Finish at 10 of 11
When the first ten entries are crossed out, return to the two parent ghosts near the starting home. Complete their farewell conversation to mark Tell Your Parents and show the ending group photo.
The task list can reveal every objective: open it with T, then press I. This is an in-game option, not a cheat code.
