Bakso Simulator 2 Points of Interest
Points of interest in Bakso Simulator 2 are the vendors, quest givers, mini-game locations, and interactive landmarks that drive progression beyond your restaurant kitchen. Knowing where each NPC stands, which hours they operate, and what services they offer prevents wasted trips across the village. This page catalogs every major POI in unlock order with cross-links to items, upgrades, and guides for deeper detail.
Restaurant and Immediate Vicinity
Your bakso shop is the primary POI — customers, delivery crates, the newspaper stand, and the tablet station inside define your core gameplay loop. The second-floor bathroom contains the RABAS727 hidden code and serves as a landmark for vertical navigation inside the building. The rear alley loading zone connects to supply deliveries and a path toward the market once tutorial obstacles clear. Inspect neighboring stalls for ambient NPCs who later offer side quests about local food competition and supernatural rumors.
The restaurant district POIs update as you purchase shop upgrades — new floors, expanded kitchen stations, and decoration slots change the interior layout while exterior landmarks remain fixed. Keep the newspaper stand and front queue area in mind as consistent orientation points when returning from village errands.
Market Vendors and Service NPCs
The market square clusters the most important commercial POIs. Ingredient vendors sell meat, noodles, spices, and broth bases at varying price points depending on your reputation level. The security tools vendor — marked with a shield icon — sells alarms, locks, and anti-Tuyul items essential before supernatural story events. A general supply NPC near the fountain sells miscellaneous items including cleaning tools and packaging upgrades for takeaway orders.
Quest givers rotate through the market based on story chapter. The merchant who introduces laptop supply ordering appears here after chapter one. The supernatural quest chain starts with an elder NPC near the market back alley once evening falls following your first Tuyul encounter at the restaurant. Match vendor visits to your supplies workflow — buy in person when you need immediate stock, use the laptop when planning overnight deliveries.
Arcade, Fishing, and Leisure POIs
The arcade POI includes the token exchange counter, mini-game cabinets, and an exterior bulletin board posting high scores and occasional quest notices. Tokens cost money but mini-game rewards scale with practice — dedicated players treat the arcade as a supplementary profit center during slow restaurant days. Environmental secrets sit outside the arcade door and in the adjacent alley, not inside active mini-game sessions.
The fishing spot POI at the riverside includes the angler quest NPC, a dock with interactable fishing positions, and a small tackle vendor who upgrades your rod after you catch milestone quantities. Fishing does not replace bakso income but provides ingredients for specialty recipes and calm downtime between rushes. Combine fishing trips with recipe planning to know which catches unlock new menu items for higher customer ratings.
Rabas's House and Story NPC Homes
Rabas's house functions as a multi-room POI: the laptop desk for supply orders and email-style quest updates, the bed for sleeping and time skips, bedroom drawers that reveal items after chapters, and the backyard where post-Tuyul events leave environmental changes. Treat the house as a daily checkpoint — visit every evening before closing your session to catch new laptop messages and drawer contents.
Additional NPC homes unlock as side quests require visits — the supernatural chain alone sends you to three residential interiors with unique dialogue and collectible items. None of these homes appear on a formal in-game map, so use this wiki list alongside the town overview and staff hiring guide when quests send you to find specific characters across the village.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which POI should I visit first each day?
Start at your restaurant for the morning setup, check the market for any immediate ingredient needs, then return to serve customers. Visit Rabas's house in the evening for laptop orders and sleep.
Where is the security tools vendor?
The security tools shop is in the market square, marked with a shield icon above the entrance. It opens after chapter one when the market district becomes fully accessible.
Do POI locations change with staff hired?
Staff affect restaurant interior POIs and operations but do not relocate village vendors or quest NPCs. Market and arcade locations remain fixed throughout the game.
Can I fish without completing the quest?
No. The angler NPC near the wooden bridge must give you the introductory quest and basic rod before the fishing spot becomes interactable.
Are there POIs inside mini-games?
Mini-games like the arcade and fishing have their own interactable zones, but hidden codes and most collectibles are found in the regular exploration environment adjacent to those activities.
