Megastore: Tidy Up Together Beginner Guide: Find the Right Shelf

You start in the Toy Store. The floor is covered with products, but the game gives you clues before you move anything: large wall directions, smaller hanging shelf signs and the name of the product you are holding at the lower left of the screen. Work through those clues in that order. The screenshots below are real official game images, not a mock interface.

In this image, the two counters at the upper left show shelf and product progress. The carry count is at the lower left. Do not read those numbers as directions: use the big words and arrows on the wall to pick the right area first.

Choose one visible product from the pile. Use the Take control shown on your screen, then look at the lower-left product label. That label tells you what you are carrying and how many of that exact product have been placed. The button hint can differ if you remapped controls or use a controller, so follow your own on-screen hint instead of memorizing a key from this screenshot.

Notice the trap: the item can be beside a shelf that is not its destination. If the name does not fit the hanging category sign, keep looking. Do not place it just because that shelf is closest.

If the pile hides the product in your hands, use the blue strip above the carry count at the lower left. The close view below is cropped from the same official screenshot. It shows the product name and its placed/total count; it is not a new game screen.

Now follow the department direction into the aisle. Read the smaller sign hanging above each shelf. In the screenshot below, “Toy Figures” is the category above the display. The green outline shows which shelf the player is aiming at. Compare your held product name with the shelf’s product-name tooltip when you inspect it; Update 1.0.5 added that tooltip. A green outline only identifies the shelf you are targeting—it does not mean every toy figure in your hands belongs on every position of that display.

When the label and shelf match, move close enough for the game’s Place interaction to appear and use the button it shows. If it does not accept the item, check the product name and shelf tooltip again: the broad category can be right while the exact product slot is wrong. Then try the matching part of the display, not a random empty shelf.

After you finish the Toy Store, the Electronics Store unlocks as the second map. It was added September 18; players whose existing save already completed Toy Store get it automatically. Its blue-and-orange ElectroMart look is different from the Toy Store, but the search is the same: read the large area sign, then the smaller category sign, then the product name before placing.

This store includes large appliances as well as tiny accessories. A washing machine is easy to recognize, but a small cable or battery pack may need the lower-left product label. The developer says large items use different carrying and throwing animations, but they still fit in the game’s inventory.

Check these in order: (1) held product name at the lower left; (2) department direction on the wall; (3) hanging category sign above the aisle; (4) exact product-name tooltip when inspecting the shelf. The screenshots beside the steps show where each clue appears. If a product does not fit, carry it to the right category instead of testing every shelf.

You do not need to finish a whole shelf before making progress. Since Update 1.0.6, correct placements award 75% of that shelf’s XP gradually, while completing the shelf gives the remaining 25%. This guide is about finding the first correct shelf; for prices, co-op and the current four-store lineup, see the game hub and the linked overview.
