Welcome! Please find below the most Frequently Asked Questions about the game Romance Club. If your question isn't listed, please comment below and we'll answer your question and add it to the list.

Note: we strive to keep the FAQ spoiler-free so details on the gender of a love interest or the precise identity of minor characters that can be romanced might be omitted.

General Questions

Is Romance Club free to play?

Yes. The game is free to download and play. Premium scenes/outfits require in-game currency (💎diamonds) in order to be played or worn, and each episode requires a "cup of tea" to be played. By default, you get three cups of tea maximum, which regenerate every three hours, starting after one cup is used. The in-game currency is very easy to obtain, so it is easy to enjoy this game without spending real money. Both in-game currency and "cup of teas" can be also purchased with real money if so you wish.

How often does the game update?

This game updates every seven weeks. The developers usually announce the release date every month or so. For more precise info about when the next update is due and to pass the time with fun activities and discussions in between updates, come and join us on the Reddit fan community!

Do my choices really impact the story?

Yes. In this game, choices really impact the plot in a significant way, and the plot branches are many and vastly different from each other, including multiple endings. Each book has various choices that put you on different "paths". These paths influence the story, and in some books also the outfits you will have available, the characters you will interact with and the scenes you play.

Bugs and issues

I don’t get adverts any more to watch for diamonds. What do I do?

  • IOS user: go to (Setting - Privacy - Advertising - Reset Advertising Identifier)
  • Andoid user: go to (Google setting - Ads - Reset advertising ID)

If this still does not work, email RC customer support at: support@yourstoryinteractive.com

When contacting support, make sure to include your User ID with your query. To find your UID click on the cog on the top bar of the app, then on Tools: your UID is the long string with letters and numbers at the top of the box.

Why I can't see a certain story in my game?

This Wiki covers what's available if you play in English. If you are playing in any other language, some stories might not have been translated yet, and hence might not be available. You can switch your language to English from the Settings button and you will see all stories.

Why is the episode not loading and stalling at 73-75% or other percentage?

Most probably this episode contains a video and it is too heavy for your device. We recommend going to Settings (the little cog at the top of the screen) and switch your game to Lite mode. This should disable videos and music and will allow you to load the episode. You can re-switch the game to Full mode once you have completed that specific episode.

Why do I get a 003 or 005 error message?

Close the story and restart the episode. This should fix this issue.

The app is using a lot of space on my device! What do I do?

Usually you should get a 'clear cache?' prompt before it gets to a breaking point, but if you don't, you can just delete the app and re-download it. First, make sure you're logged in with Google, Apple, Facebook or the RC login. As an extra layer of protection, copy your UID and save it somewhere. Your UID is under Settings >> Tools >> the long string with letters and numbers. After that, you can simply delete the app and re-download it and you'll be able to log in again and restore your progress.

Gameplay Questions

How do I get diamonds?

Some choices in this game are premium choices and cost in-game currency, which is represented by 💎blue diamonds.

  • You can earn diamonds by logging into the game every day: the longer you log in for, the more diamonds you get, up to a maximum of 💎10 diamonds a day. If you fail to login within 24 hours from your last login, the counter is reset to zero.
    • Until day 5: 💎1 diamond per day.
    • From day 6 to day 14: 💎2 diamonds per day.
    • From day 15 to day 25: 💎3 diamonds per day.
    • From day 26 to day 49: 💎4 diamonds per day.
    • From day 50 to day 100: 💎5 diamonds per day.
    • From day 101 to day 200: 💎6 diamonds per day.
    • From day 201 to day 400: 💎7 diamonds per day.
    • From day 401 to day 700: 💎8 diamonds per day.
    • From day 701 to day 1000: 💎9 diamonds per day.
    • From day 1001 onwards: 💎10 diamonds per day.
    • Note: you can also occasionally get some cups of tea or diamonds as extra gift, either with your daily login or separately, but this seems to be happening randomly and not on fixed days.
  • Watching adverts: You can earn 💎3 diamonds per advert, watching adverts that are available every 29 minutes and 30 seconds. Adverts are also available after every episode you read (with the exception of the very first episode).
  • Reading episodes: Reading the first episode of a new book will reward you with 💎30 diamonds (there is no advert after the first episode). Every new episode you read after that will give you 💎10 diamonds (plus extra 💎3 if you watch the advert after each episode) and reading the very last episode for the first time in a book will reward you with 💎100 diamonds (plus extra 💎3 if you watch the advert after the episode). Since March 2024 update, re-reading episodes you have previously read award you with 💎5 diamonds (plus extra 💎3 if you watch the advert after the episode) - with the exception of the first episode which you don't need a cup to read.
  • Completing achievements: As of January 2024, you can also earn diamonds by completing certain plot paths that will unlock an achievement. Each achievement can only be unlocked once per account. Beware: plot spoilers by clicking the link, but you can find an achievement list with all the requirements here.
  • Purchasing them with real money: Several options are available. Packages from 💎60 diamonds up to 💎1500 diamonds are available for purchase in your local currency.

It is easier to earn in-game currency in this game compared to many competitors, and the range of free/cheap options is also really good, so you definitely don't need to spend real money to enjoy this game.

How do the special events work, how often do they happen, what about diamond choices I unlock during an event?

The diamond rush / tea party / shopping events or any other special event don't have a set schedule. They are random and the developers are the only ones who know when they will happen and how long for. We usually get the announcement in the app the day before they start. Once the announcement is in the app, there is a timer on the event cover that will tell you how many hours are left before the event starts, or, once the event has started, how many hours are left until the event ends.

All premium choices you unlock during any of the free diamonds/free play events remain unlocked even after the event has ended, forever and in all future replays.

Can I personalize my MC? (Main Character - you the player)

Yes. You can customize your MC's skin tone, hairstyle and wardrobe. Although not in all, in most books you can choose your character's first name. The books where you can't change your name are: Moonborn, Legend of the Willow, Sophie's Ten Wishes, Arcanum, Theodora (in the first season), Kali: Call of Darkness, Kali: Flame of Samsara, Song of the Crimson Nile, Psi. Generally you cannot choose your character's last name, but Queen in 30 Days and Love from Outer Space allow you to do so. In some of the most recent books you can also customise your character's body shape choosing between slender, athletic or curvy options.

Can I play as male/female?

Yes. At the moment of writing this game has a female main character by default in all books apart from one - Gladiator Chronicles - the first book to have a male main character.

Can I date both female and male Love Interests?​

Yes. In each book, you have the opportunity to establish a romantic relationship with either male or female characters, although generally speaking, the male characters seem to have longer scenes and more space in old books, while new books have expanded on the female LI content.

Which characters can I romance in each story?

Please keep in mind that this list might not be exhaustive as we might have not played all the possible routes and that we will update it as more episodes are published and we find out new info. The books below are listed in order of release. The characters that we know are romanceable so far are: [⚠️ Please note that clicking on the names that have links will bring you to the individual characters pages where plot spoilers are revealed]

In which stories can I/should I balance my stats?

  • Sails in the fog – YES for your magic points. PARTLY YES for Diplomacy and Strength, you have to calculate the points carefully and can only pass both from S3 on-wards. Please check Story achievements under "Absolute Balance" for more information on how to do this.

Can I restart a single episode?

Yes. If you want to replay an episode, you have the option to restart from the beginning of it, as long as you have not already marked it as completed. This new feature started in the September 2024 update. At the end of the episode, you can easily choose whether you want to complete it or restart it immediately. Please note that it costs one teacup to restart, unless you are playing the first episode of a story.

Can I restart a single season?

Yes. If you want to replay a book, you have the option to restart from the beginning of each season. Please note, however, that you cannot play two different seasons of the same book at the same time. If you are on season 3 and decide to restart season 1, your progress for the whole book will be reset back to season 1 and you won't be able to change your mind and replay season 3 until you play your way back to it.

Note about Bonus Episodes: this is now a discontinued feature and they no longer appear in the game. If you see Bonus Episodes referenced anywhere, they were extra episodes at the end of a book's season that to be unlocked needed you to either wait 24h or pay a certain amount of diamonds (100 at first, then down to 10 in most recent times). This is not to be confused with Special Episodes, which are a different thing.

If I restart a book, will my premium choices be saved?

Yes. If you restart a book from the beginning, all the Premium (diamond) choices you have previously unlocked will be saved. However, if you decide to change the path you were on - for example, you played on the diplomatic path and decide to now replay on the fortitude path - all the outfits/scenes that belong to a path you are no longer on will not be available to you, including the ones you might have purchased, and you will have the choice to purchase new ones that correspond to the path you are on. Not all books have different outfits for different paths but all books have different premium options based on different choices the player makes.

Also please note: each outfit/accessory/hairstyle you unlocked will only be available in the story from the moment it is offered, so if you restart the book from episode 1, you can't wear a dress you obtained in episode 5, even if this dress appears in the general MC wardrobe that is accessible from the front page of the book.

How do slots work?

This new feature, launched in August 2024, allows you to play multiple paths at once by easily switching from one slot to another. Any diamond choices unlocked in one slot will automatically unlock in all other slots. All playthroughs on all slots count toward achievements and top matches in My Profile (Romance Club’s social feature).

You will need teacups to play episodes on all slots. Assigning or editing a name to your save slots works by clicking on the pencil icon. It's possible to clear a slot at any time and rewrite it with a new path.

For stories that have a sequel, the slot that will count towards carrying over your choices to a second volume or new story will be the last slot you played, that is, the slot that is currently active. For example, if slot 3 is active (the number indicated in the top left corner when you click on a story cover) in HS, the information from that one will be pulled when you start a new playthrough in HS2.

Romance Club offers 3 slots per story for free, but you can unlock 7 additional slots for all stories, present and future, with a one-time purchase.

What are special episodes?

Special episodes are extra short stories set in the same universe as the main book they are connected to. Since they are usually set after the main book ended, you can't play them unless you have already finished reading the full book. We don't know which books will get special episodes, as the developers just announce them on a case-by-case basis.

Why is the special episode locked for me?

The special episodes released so far have been set up so that only people who already completed the main book are able to play them.

My Profile and game settings

How do I change my welcome screen?

The welcome screen can be changed in the settings. Currently you are able to pick between two versions – Mystery or Spring. The characters shown on your welcome screen change depending on who you are closest with. You will see Felonia/Imani/Threxia, Mehmed/Minhyuk/Volot and Amrit/Malek/Orion.

Previously you could choose between Fairytale or Winter. The characters that were shown on your welcome screen could be Ava/Tata/Regina, Cain/Tai/Ash and Shen/Cassiel/Doran. The main character in the middle was Lane and her features were the ones you had chosen for her.

Previously you could choose between Holiday and Mystical. The characters that were shown on your welcome screen could be Mary Brown/Shino-Odori/Saraswati Basu/Bonne, Vincent/Ivo Martin/Ram Doobay/Dean and Zain Al-Abbas/Malbonte/Amen/Vlad.

What is My Profile?

My Profile is Romance Club’s social feature. It shows your level, reading stats, wardrobe and story achievements, and other information that describes you as a player. Your level is calculated using a formula based on the number of episodes and stories you have played. The wardrobe achievements depend on how many players have the same (or more) number of outfits - the lower the %, the more special the achievement. Each achievement is automatically updated when new episodes are completed. If all available episodes are completed, you need to select the story cover from the main menu and click on the wardrobe icon. The story achievements are rewards you get after mastering a specific task or challenge within a book. All available achievements are listed here.

Your profile is visible to other players unless you disable the "social mode" in the game settings. You can see and heart random player’s profiles if they are filled out completely, and return to your own profile by selecting the star icon. A compilation of all available avatar images can be found in the gallery of each story's main book page here in the wiki.

You can also add friends by their profile or User ID and exchange gifts, send messages or share diamonds. Currently you can add a maximum of 50 friends.

How do I add favorites and how do I change the genres I originally selected?

The new user interface, launched in July 2023, allows you to add books to a favorite tab. Please note that the tab will only become visible once you have selected at least one book to be your favorite. To do so, click on the cover and then click on the heart in the top left corner. To remove a book from your favorites, click the heart again.

When you start playing the game, you are asked to pick the genres you are interested in. This will populate the For You tab, as well as the carousel at the top, with suggestions about books you might like. You can click on the crossed arrows button on the carousel to refresh your suggestions and have different books appear. If you want to change the genres you selected initially, click on the For You tab, and click on the icon with a cog and a bookmark, on the right of your screen. That button will bring you back to the page where you can select your preferred genres again.

How do I save cutscenes (CGs) for My Profile?

When you encounter a CG, a square icon with a heart and a + sign appears in the bottom right of the screen. Tap on the icon, name the file, and it will be automatically saved on your profile. Once you go to your profile, scroll down to the favorite cutscenes section and click the icon showing an eye with a pencil on the side. It will show you all the CGs you saved. You can pick 18 to show on your profile as favorites. You can also rename your cutscenes by clicking on the pencil icon.

What are Collectible Cards?

Collectible Cards are limited-edition items that will be available only for a certain period of time and are organized in volumes. They can be won by spinning the Wheel of Fortune, be purchased from the in-game store or unlocked with Treasures. By unlocking a volume, you will receive a twin set of each card, one for your collection and one that can be gifted to another player and is also packed with diamonds or tea that you can gift to your friends. These resources are exclusive to the gift cards. Cards won on the Wheel of Fortune do not contain gift resources and cannot be gifted.

Cards have different rarities: they can be common, uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary. If a volume becomes unavailable, you can still collect all its cards by getting them as gifts from friends or winning them on the Wheel of Fortune. Once you have collected all the cards in a volume, you will receive a Volume Badge, which will contribute to your Hall of Fame goal.

You are also able to "break" your Collectible Card if you find yourself with multiple copies of the same one. Each card will turn into a random amount of Treasures, which you can use to unlock more card volumes.

What are Badges?

Badges are tokens you get after reaching a certain Romance Club related goal. You can unlock all the Badges and be featured in the Romance Club Hall of Fame to celebrate your enthusiasm, love and dedication to being part of the Romance Club stories.

What are Treasures?

Treasures are resources that you can earn by leveling up or win on the Wheel of Fortune. They can be used to unlock Collectible Cards.

Heart Flames embody the essence of passion and desire, born of intense emotions and meaningful connections.

Tear Crystals are delicate shards formed from the emotions of souls experiencing profound grief and loss. Known for their ethereal glow, they are prized for their power to unlock new features.

Sun Sparks are fragments of pure light captured from moments of joy and hope. They radiate warmth and positivity and are essential for unlocking exclusive features.

What is the Wheel of Fortune?

The Wheel of Fortune is a feature to win rewards, from tea and diamonds to treasures and collectible cards. Currently, two spins a day are free and more can be purchased in the in-game shop. For a price of 150 diamonds, you can double your chances of winning collectible cards for your next 3 spins.
