Happy Room Academy

The Happy Room Academy (HRA), is a housing association. The HRA inspects your house each day if you choose to sign up, and score it depending on the furniture inside. Ways of boosting your points score are by placing rare or expensive pieces of furniture in your house, or completing furniture series. These each give out point bonuses (see below). It is run by Lyle.

The Happy Room Academy is mainly made to help the player design their home, but if they score a lot of points there will surely be a reward (see below).

You can earn special gifts by obtaining a certain amount of HRA points. One story model, two story model and mansion model.

The HRA headquarters is located in the City, where they player can view their friends scores via Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. Lyle now works in this building.

On Sunday the HRA sends the player their evaluation results on academy paper. If they don't want to receive the results by mail, the player can ask Lyle at the HRA headquarters to stop sending them; and by asking him the same question afterwards, he will send them again. The player can always check your HRA points with Lyle.

What seems to be the easiest and possibly cheapest way to collect HRA points is to acquire as many lucky items as possible - 10 lucky items alone gets the player well over 75,000 points.
