People other than me can edit this FAQ and give input. I highly suggest that the current and any future BMPP event threads have this linked at the top of the main post as such:

(Jump to the Question)
< Under Construction >Go to Top
[ General ]1)
How do I find anything in this application's layout?The bottom menu bar can be manually scrolled left and right if you swipe with your finger. You can view your story stats, such as Story Level (chapter) and Your Compatibility rank, by tapping the screen where the prince is located on your My Page.
Your other stats can be found by clicking the picture of your avatar in the top left corner. It replaces the prince's picture on the My Page, and you tap the screen in the same manner to view your current Charm, Princess Mates number, RF, TRF, Chemistry amount (basically Your Compatibility in number form, based on your answers), and Town Level.
The "Secret Date" button, which leads to your My Town, disappears while on this screen, but you can still access it from the Menu in the top right corner and from the scrolling menu buttons at the bottom. The "Pick Up" box shows available Royal Collection Gachas, discount opportunities, and current Story Event banners that lead you to the events. They scroll, so there is a drop-down arrow to make it easier to click on what you want.
The Top Page contains announcements and surveys, but you must scroll below all of the banners before you can see them. You can only fill out one survey per day. If you answer multiple surveys on the same day, you will get an error message in Japanese. Your Invite Code is located at the utmost bottom of the Top Page. This code can be entered by other players to receive rewards. You do not get unlimited prizes with every use. You can use another person's Invite Code in the same location, where it reads, "Input invite Code."

2)
What time zone does this game follow?The game uses the Universal Time Clock (UTC), but some times will
(infuriatingly) be based off of Japan Time. Japan Time is often used whenever the date does not explicitly state "UTC." Sometimes the deadlines will be incorrectly marked and never fixed, so be wary.
Go to Top
3)
Is there a way to skip text?No.
Go to Top
4)
What does Blocking a player do, and how do you Block someone?Click the person's avatar > Block.
During an event:
Event Mates > click on mate > Talk Board > Back to <insert person>'s my page > Block.
If you have been blocked:
You can see that you have been blocked and still view the persons profile, but you cannot post on the person's Talk Board. You will get a rebound message stating that you have been blocked if you try to leave a message.
If you block a player:
The player will remain your regular/event mate, but you will not be able to access her Profile or Talk Board anymore and you will not get their messages on your Talk Board. During an event, you will not lose any LF. You will still see the player's information and LF on your list. The player's personal LF will still contribute to your TLF. While searching for mates, she will no longer appear in the random search. There is no effect on your current event. You can unblock someone and the player will be visible again.
Personally, blocking someone should only be done if the person violated a code of ethics, not because of poor performance during an event...
Go to Top
5)
Can I play other music while the game is running?No, but you can cause a glitch to allow you to play other music at the same time. You can lower the BGM volume, too.
Go to Top
6)
How do I get more Closet and/or Warehouse?The game will prompt you that you have no space when you try to accept an item, and you can get Closet/Warehouse that way. Alternatively, you can go to Items > Gems tab > Closet/Warehouse. It is better to use 2 Gems for 10 Closet/Warehouse than it is to use 1 Gem for 3 Closet/Warehouse.
Go to Top
7)
How do I delete avatar/clothing items?If they are already in your Closet, go to your Closet and hold down the picture of the item. A popup will appear, asking how many you would like to sell. Press 'OK' and you get additional Cruz. You must un-equip an avatar item before you can sell it. You will know if you are wearing an item if the number on it is one less than your total of that item. That said, it will usually show a 0 because only Avatar Gachas will cause you to get multiples.
Go to Top
8)
How do I delete Town (Spots) and Town (Objects)?If they are already in your Warehouse, click on the item and press 'Sell.'
Go to Top
9)
How do I get more Cruz?Selling avatar items, Town (Objects), and Town (Spots), and random chance on Dates. Event Dates give more Cruz than regular Dates. The best way to build Cruz for free is to replay the same character's main story for a different ending. You must keep your main route clothing so that you will not need to spend more than necessary.
Go to Top
10)
How do I get the Illustrations/Pictures/CGs?They are found in the Album, but you must first view your mail, which unlocks them. They require Gems during avatar missions to view the scene containing the CGs. Some illustrations come from message cards bought with Gems.
Go to Top
11)
How do I choose a different answer choice?If you want to choose a different answer, you can do either method:
a) Click the Menu button at the top corner while in story mode. Click My Page. If you are lazy, you can press the Back button after returning to the My Page and resume from the beginning of that scene. This works in both the main story and event stories.
b) Close and reopen the application and Resume Romance.
Go to Top
12)
What do you win from Daily Missions?500 RF/LF = 300 RF
5 Secret Dates = 300 RF
3 Secret Dates = 500 Cruz
3 Travel Dates = 500 Cruz
5 LP = 500 Cruz
Voltage used to give Gems as a Daily Mission reward...
Go to Top
13)
How can I collect Gems?You can get Gems from Town Events, entering Story Events, random probability while going on Dates (both regular and event Dates, but this function may no longer be applicable), game invitations using your ID, and purchases with real money. The easiest way to gain Gems is from the Town Level Up Bonus, which only increases if you have enough Warehouse items. If people use your Invite Code, you can get up to 8 Gems for free. Voltage has removed the capability of gaining Gems through Daily Missions.
It is not efficient to spend those Gems on Royal Factors, by the way.
Go to Top
14)
How do I increase my Love Passes with items?In your Items page, click Love Passes. The +1, +2, +3, +4, and +5 indicate how many of your total Love Passes will be added to your current Love Passes. Each slot says the same number because each are linked to the same pool of Love Passes. It does NOT mean that you have X-sets of Love Passes.
Go to Top
15)
When do Love Passes refill?Love Passes recharge at 11:00am (UTC). Voltage mistakenly set it at 7:00pm (UTC) when the application was released.
Go to Top
16)
When can I Travel Date again?Travel Dates become available again at 7:00pm (UTC).
Go to Top
17)
Where can I find my items?Menu > Items, or scroll the bottom menu bar. When you enter your "Items" page, you must manually switch to the "Items" tab to view your earned items. However, you are always linked to the "Gems" tab first, which is a purchase window. The only way to learn about what Gems are is to click the "+" sign in the top right corner of that page and click the "About Gems" button at the bottom of the following page.
Go to Top
18)
What are Dates worth?One Date is at least 100 RF and 50 Cruz without Bonus Chance.
Go to Top
19)
What does Bonus Chance give?You get RF (regular Dates) or LF (Event Dates), Cruz, or Gems. The probability for Gems seems to have plummeted, supposing that Voltage had not already removed that opportunity, too.
Go to Top
20)
What do Town (Spots) and Town (Objects) do?Town (Spots):
After the final upgrade, you will receive a Special Story. Mates can Travel Date at these Spots to help you decrease the number of Dates required to Grade Up. Some Spots require two spaces to set in the Town itself. You can buy multiple cheap ones and upgrade each for quick Town Event points.
Town (Objects):
They cannot be upgraded but are sold for 75 Cruz each. They take up one space but can overlap Town (Spots). These items can cause princes to appear wearing special outfits.
Go to Top
21)
Does Voltage censor the Talk Boards and blurbs?Yup. Forbidden things to post:
Go to Top
[ Main Story ]1)
What different endings can I achieve?Secret Happy End (SHE)
Secret Normal End (SNE)
Happy End (HE)
Normal End (NE)
Go to Top
2)
What are the requirements for each ending?Go to Top
3)
Does choosing the Sweet Stories help in Compatibility?No. Choosing to read the Sweet Stories (special stories) does not impact Compatibility, and it does not alter your route's ending. Only selecting answers will contribute to your Compatibility. Furthermore, reading the Normal Stories does not impact Compatibility, either.
Go to Top
4)
I have enough Royal Factors for the SNE/SHE. Can I still read the Normal or Happy End, instead of the Secret Normal or Secret Happy Ending?Yes. Remember that whether you get “Normal” or “Happy” is based on your Compatibility. The “Secret” ends of any path are based on the final (optional) RF achievement.
Go to Top
5)
When do mate limit increases occur?The mate limit increases after Royal Factor Missions.
Go to Top
6)
Does my old RF get carried over to my next route and/or character?No. Your RF will restart at zero. Whatever RF you did make will be counted towards your TRF seen by other players, but only the current route's RF means anything.
Go to Top
7)
How do I get every picture?Sweet Stories give you CGs, while the Normal Stories will not. You will need to buy the outfits that require Gems during Avatar Missions. Other CGs are received by passing the Happy Ending.
Go to Top
8)
Can I replay the Common Route?I asked the game support this (because it used to be available to restart in GREE), and they gave a roundabout answer which I am sure meant 'no.' They generically said that they'll think about it.
Go to Top
9)
Can I change to another prince while I am in the middle of another route?Yes. Menu > Change Prince.
Go to Top
[ Story (Avatar) Event ]1)
What time do Story Events begin?3:00am (UTC). Sometimes events will begin immediately after the previous Town Event ends, or even a few hours before the Town Event ends. Some Story Events will begin exactly a day after the previous Story Event.
Go to Top
2)
What time do Story Events end?Story Events end at 8:00am (UTC).
Go to Top
3)
What is the next Story Event? When is it?How should I know? You can refer to Love Tiara (the Japanese equivalent of BMP: PARTY), but sometimes Voltage skips events that occur in the Japanese version.
Go to Top
4)
Can I make it in the Top 100 during Story Events without spending real-world money?During Story Events, it is realistically unlikely. One condition requires that you must have event mates significantly higher than what a non-spender can make. Either you have enough Gems or Banquets stocked up from being especially lucky, or ranking that high will be an extreme challenge.
Go to Top
5)
I do not have enough Total Love Factors to proceed to the next scene in a Story Event. How can I increase my TLF?Your TLF is based on the combination of your overall individual LF and your Event mates' overall individual LF. Only 10% of each mate's LF will be added to your TLF, and your TLF will continue to increase on its own, as long as your Event mates keep winning their battles. I suggest choosing mates from your MR, since you can better determine who is actually active. If none of your MR mates have a relatively high amount of LF, you can invite one of the Recommended mates who do.
TLF drastically increases with every HE, so it is more efficient to complete the SHEs before moving on to any HE. If you are waiting for new routes to be released and do not have particularly high LF event mates, do not move on to an HE and keep Dating on your current route. Voltage has seemingly been increasing these TLF requirements so that Happy Endings are more difficult than Secret Happy Endings.
Go to Top
6)
My event mate is not active. Can I remove her/him from my list during this event?No.
Go to Top
7)
Will the Love Factor and/or Gacha Medal items in my Gift Box and/or Event Items page work in future events?No.
Go to Top
8)
How do I get every picture?Play the Secret Happy Ending. Even if you see the CG before the ending, if you do not play the SHE, the game will not reward you with that CG.
Go to Top
9)
How do I get the Double End bonus?Play both the SHE and HE of one character. You will get nothing from only the HE.
Go to Top
10)
How can I maximize my LF without spending money?Gems, Banquets, and high LF event mates. Keep choosing the best answers for the additional 200 LF per Episode. You should begin an event with full or almost full Stamina so that you can make use of the Start Dash Fever boost, which only lasts three hours. LF will not roll over to other routes outside TLF, so do not keep dating until you have switched routes. Only switch routes when you are at full or almost at full Stamina for the Start Dash Fever. Do not click the "You have been invited to an Event Date!" button before you have switched routes because the LF will only add to the route you are currently on.
If you do not have event mates with high enough LF, you can and will get stuck in a Love Factor Mission if you choose to play the Happy Endings first. In the long run, it is better for your LF accumulation to stay on consecutive SHEs because your LF will be reset if you play that same character for the alternative ending.
Also note:
Event Items > Gems tab > Increase Love Factor > 3 Gems = 1000 LF (versus 2 Gems = 5 Stamina; 4 Gems = approximately 1000 LF without Fever)
Go to Top
11)
How do I find good event mates?You can talk to them so that they remember you, or go to the Recommended tab and refresh until you find one, but the latter is up to chance. It would be beneficial to you if you have sufficient regular mates who you can choose at the start of the event.
Go to Top
12)
Can I change to another prince while I am in another route?You cannot change your prince/route in event stories until you have fully completed that event route.
Go to Top
13)
What types of Story Events are there?There are two types of events - birthday events and all character events. Birthday events feature three types of routes for one prince. All character events feature every prince, so there are six routes with two endings each.
Although Zain is a playable event character in at least one event...
Go to Top
14)
What type of endings are there?Events only have Secret Happy Endings (SHE) and Happy Endings (HE). Sometimes the HE is in the prince's perspective of the SHE (and skips over details), but other event HEs are butler perspectives.
For the sake of mentioning, however, some of these events existed in the GREE days, and the SHE was only achieved if you had an excess of personal LF by the end of the HE. PARTY's Happy Ending was GREE's Normal Ending...
Go to Top
15)
Where can I find my event rank?Click the Event Ranking button (sixth button at the bottom when you scroll to the right). Your current rank is the flashing orange number at the bottom of that page.
Go to Top
16)
How do I get my Ranking Reward(s)?You can either wait for a popup to lead you to the ranking page after the event ends, or you can go to the Top Page, scroll down, and click the event banner. The prize(s) will enter your Gift Box after you click the button at the top.
Go to Top
17)
What are Event Dates worth?They give at least 100 LF and 100 Cruz without Bonus Chance. You get at least 200 LF with Fever, but Start Fevers at the same time will give at least 300 LF.
Go to Top
[ Town Event ]1)
What time do Town Events begin?3:00am (UTC).
Go to Top
2)
What time do Town Events end?8:00am (UTC).
Go to Top
3)
What is the next Town Event? When is it?How should I know? You can refer to Love Tiara (the Japanese equivalent of BMP: PARTY), but sometimes Voltage skips events that occur in the Japanese version.
Go to Top
4)
Can I make it in the Top 100 during Town Events without spending real-world money?Yes, but you will likely need to use Gems or Pastas to maintain that position.
Go to Top
5)
Will the Fever Ticket items in my Gift Box and/or Items page work in future events?No.
Go to Top
6)
How do you get points during Town Events?Secret Date = 1 point
Travel Date = 1/5 point
Grade Up = 3 points
Read Story = 1 point
Complete Chapter = 2 points
Mission Completion scene = 2 points
Complete Mission (after beginning an ending included) = 3 points
Complete Ending = 5 points
These values change when there is a campaign Fever. Read the My Page popup and/or Fever banner on the My Town page for details, as sometimes the Fever is only for Cruz, or it can increase points by double or triple. If not stated, the doubler or tripler will NOT affect Grade Ups. Fever can start at 3am (UTC) or 11am (UTC).
You can buy multiples of the cheapest Spots and upgrade each during campaigns because they take the fastest to Grade Up.
Go to Top
7)
Where can I find the Town background that I won?The Town (Sky) and Town (Road) is found in the Warehouse. Click the 'Scenery' button in the top right corner. You can only use one set of Sky and Road. They cannot mix.
Go to Top
I hope that was beneficial~
