Heartopia offers a cozy and charming world, but behind the decorations and neighbor favors is a system that controls how much of the game you can actually access. The D.G. Member’s Guild is the main system that guides your progression, unlocking new features and areas at a steady pace.
Your D.G. Member level impacts everything—from which hobbies you can try to how much land you can expand. It rewards consistent play and daily effort rather than rushing through content. If you’ve ever wondered why some parts of the game are locked or when the town begins to open up more, understanding the D.G. Member’s Guild helps everything make sense.
What Is The D.G. Member’s Guild?
The D.G. Member’s Guild serves as Heartopia’s primary progression system. It works like an experience level linked to your everyday activity. As your Member level goes up, you unlock new hobbies, get more land to build on, and receive special items that expand what you can do in the game.
Instead of being tied to story events or combat, the Guild rewards consistent engagement. It encourages you to interact with residents and complete routine daily tasks, helping to steadily grow your town and abilities.
What Are The Rewards?
Each new D.G. Member level gives you a set of rewards. These rewards include access to more hobbies, additional home plots, bigger storage, and extra features like emotes, new recipes, and events. As you level up, the rewards become more impressive, giving you more ways to enjoy and customize Heartopia.
Keep track of your progress because the higher your level, the bigger the unlocks become.

How To Level Up?
Leveling the Guild mainly involves earning Contribution Medals, which act as experience points. You can complete up to five resident requests each day, earning a total of 50 medals. These requests are quests or neighbor tasks that refresh daily.
Skipping days slows your progress, especially as you reach higher levels where bigger features and expansions become available. To keep a steady pace, try to complete all five requests every time you play.
How To Unlock And Expand Home Plots
Unlocking additional home space depends entirely on your Guild level. As you progress, new plots become available as a reward. To expand your property, you need to manually access the Guild screen:
- Open the D.G. Member’s Guild menu.
- Tap the four-square icon in the top-right corner.
- See which plots are unlocked and available for expansion.
- Manage and develop your land as your membership level increases.
These expansions are not automatic—they require you to act. Expanding your land allows for more buildings and decorating possibilities.
How Do Hobbies And Hobby Progression Work?
Heartopia has seven hobbies, but you won’t unlock them all right away. Some appear during the tutorial, while others are locked behind your Guild level, unlocking gradually as you progress. Each hobby introduces new ways to gather resources or add to your daily routine, including:
- Fishing: Catch and sell fish or use them in cooking.
- Gardening: Grow crops for cooking or sale.
- Cooking: Prepare meals with ingredients from fishing and farming.
- Insect Catching: Capture and sell insects.
- Birdwatching: Photograph and catalog birds.
- Cat Caring: Adopt and raise a kitten.
- Dog Caring: Adopt and care for a puppy.
Unlocking each hobby requires a Hobby Expansion Ticket, which you earn at certain Guild levels, mainly levels 2, 3, 5, 8, and 11. The later hobbies, Cat Caring and Dog Caring, become available after reaching Guild level 12, with Dog Caring requiring you to unlock Cat Caring first.
Once a hobby is available, you can improve it using Hobby Upgrade Tickets, also earned through your Guild level. Each upgrade enhances your resource gathering capabilities and customization options.
