How endings work in Say Cheese!

The camera is the only input. Your photo becomes the next TV headline, the park reacts to that headline, and the route escalates until an ending card appears.

You do not choose an ending from a menu. You build it, one photo at a time.

  • A photo of conflict feeds the hate chain; a photo of kindness feeds the Good route.
  • Some routes end with a last-photo prompt; take it to close the run.
  • The two secret endings break the rules: one wants no photos, the other wants one perfectly timed scream.

Normal endings (1–12)

These are the routes listed on the original endings menu. They range from a 20-second cricket joke to a five-minute kindness chain.

Suggested order

How to see all 14 endings without wasting runs

  1. Start with the quick novelty routes. Cricket (about 20 seconds), TV, Breaking News, and Reverse teach you how the camera and TV respond.
  2. Then learn the story chains. Viral is the gate to Hat and Eyes Closed. Good and Peace need specific beats, and Follow the Money needs the suit.
  3. Save the mood routes for last. Scared and Say Cheese are easier once you can read headlines and keep a single subject in frame.
  4. Finish with the secrets. Off Air needs one photo-free run; Star needs one caught scream. Both are tracked as 13 of 14 and 14 of 14.

Route times are approximate and measured from the full-ending walkthrough by Gdog's Atelier. Early Access updates can change trigger conditions.

Say Cheese! endings FAQ

Short answers before you pick a route.

How many endings does Say Cheese! have?

14: 12 normal endings and 2 secret endings. Some early guides list only 12 because the secret endings were added in an Early Access update.

Why the numbering changed
What is the fastest ending in Say Cheese!?

The Cricket ending, at about 20 seconds. Find the cricket in the grass, photograph it, and do not film anything else.

Do I need to unlock endings in order?

No. Each run is independent. You can go straight for a secret ending, although the story chains are easier once you recognize the TV headlines.

Is there an ending for doing nothing?

Yes. The Off Air ending requires a full run without a single photo. The station runs out of material and the park starts talking to itself.
