11Overview22Scratch Cards are a lottery-style minigame available at the Chrono Arcade in Starsand Town. Players purchase scratch cards from lottery machines using Tokens (the arcade's internal currency) and scratch them to reveal prizes. There are two types: a cheaper single-panel card and a more expensive multi-panel card with better odds.44The arcade is run by Loren, who gives you 20 free Tokens daily and exchanges Gold for additional Tokens at the cash register. Scratch Cards are one of several activities at the Chrono Arcade alongside the Starblock and Foodybara arcade games and Gachapon machines.66Quick Reference88DetailInfoLocationChrono Arcade, Starsand TownNPCLorenArcade hours08:00 to 22:00 dailyCurrencyTokens (10 Gold = 1 Token)Free daily tokens20 Tokens per day from the cash registerMax purchasable tokens80 Tokens per day (800 Gold)Daily token cap100 Tokens total (20 free + 80 purchased)1111How Scratch Cards Work1212Scratch Card machines are located outside and in the lower section of the Chrono Arcade. Walk up to a machine and interact with it to purchase a card using Tokens. Two types are available:1414TypeCostGold equivalentNotesSingle-panel5 Tokens50 GoldOne panel to scratch.

Up to 80 purchasable Tokens per day (800 Gold total). The exchange rate is 10 Gold per Token.Spend tokens: Use Tokens on Scratch Cards, Gachapon machines, and arcade games.Win tokens back: Winning scratch cards award Tokens, recycling your investment into more attempts.2121With a daily cap of 100 Tokens, you can buy a maximum of 20 single-panel cards (5 Tokens each) or 10 multi-panel cards (10 Tokens each) per day.2323Arcade Games2525The Chrono Arcade features two classic-style arcade games in addition to Scratch Cards. Both games award Tokens on completion, with better rewards for higher cumulative scores and personal bests.2727GameTypeHow to playStarblockTetris-style puzzleRotate and fit falling blocks to create complete lines. Game ends when blocks reach the top.FoodybaraSnake-style gameControl a capybara eating items while avoiding walls and self-collision. Grows longer as you eat.2929Arcade game rewards come in two categories: Cumulative (points accumulate across multiple sessions) and Personal Best (requires beating your own high score). Players win Tokens every time they play, with better rewards for increasing totals.3030Gachapon Machines3232Gachapon machines cost 20 Tokens per pull. They dispense random rewards including resources (Tin, Copper, Stone), crafting recipes (e.g., Wok Spatula), furniture, wardrobe items, and blueprints.3434The machines come in different colours (Golden, Purple, Blue, Green, White), but the colour does not affect reward rarity. Outcomes are completely random regardless of which machine you use.3636Scratch Master Buff3838The Star Canelight food item grants a 2-minute Scratch Master buff that improves Scratch Card odds. The buff adds 1 lucky number to scratch cards, boosts win rates, makes earning Tokens easier, and gives a chance for a full refund on payouts. The recipe is available for purchase at the Aureleaf Kitchen.4040The Scratch Master buff does not stack. Eating a second Star Canelight resets the 2-minute timer but does not double the effect. Eat one right before scratching for maximum coverage.4242Starsand Scratch Card Item4444In addition to the arcade machine scratch cards, there is a separate Starsand Scratch Card inventory item: a consumable that can be obtained from events, gifts, or promotions. This item functions similarly to the machine-based cards but is used directly from your inventory.4646Exploit fix (Patch 0.2.1185): An early bug allowed the Starsand Scratch Card item to be used infinitely under certain circumstances, letting players repeatedly claim prizes from a single card. This was fixed in Patch 0.2.1185 (February 2026). The card now correctly consumes on use.4848Loren5050Loren is the manager of the Chrono Arcade and one of the 15 romanceable characters in Starsand Island. He is found at the arcade roughly 90% of the time, either playing games on the main floor or the lower floor. He is developing his own video game.5252Gift typeItemsAffectionLoved giftsCoconut Latte, Lunar Crystal+15Liked giftsCaco Laco, Grilled Fish, Cappuccino, Plain Noodles, Purple Hydrangea, Sweet and Sour Pork, Veggie Noodles+10Disliked giftsBlue Sleep Lily, Yellow Sleep LilyNegative5454Tips5555TipDetailsCollect your 20 free daily TokensVisit the Chrono Arcade register every day even if you do not plan to play immediately.
