Problem-Solving: The Aim of the Game Part 1

The objective in Tomodachi Life is to ensure the continued happiness of the Mii characters that you populate the island with. You do this by solving their problems. When problems are solved, this contributes to the happiness of the Mii, filling the meter on the top screen. When the meter is full, the Mii levels up, and you may reward them.

You can give any Mii anything at any time, not just when they ask for it.

Problem Categories
Problems can be divided into four types: Love, Friendship, Maintenance or Play. The first two require interaction between Miis, the third needs food, décor, clothing or just answering their questions. The last category, Play, involves completing a minigame. This will net you a treasure to sell at a later date.

Playing the minigames does not count towards the total number of solved problems. Like with the problems, you can choose to ignore the request at no harm to the XP already gathered.
