What triggers the Say Cheese ending
The ending triggers when smiling becomes the park's only news. Photograph figures who are smiling or posing, and the broadcast moves from Why is everyone smiling? to Everyone say cheese and The happiest park on earth.
The run is about consistency. A fight, a hat, or an empty patch of grass gives the station a different story, and the smile chain stops advancing.
What to photograph
Smiling and posing figures. Any happy face works, including figures that crowd the lens or photobomb the shot. Keep the frame full of people who want to be in the picture and avoid anything that reads as conflict or fear.
Step-by-step route
- Find figures who are smiling or posing and photograph them.
- Follow the TV headlines Why is everyone smiling?, Everyone say cheese, and The happiest park on earth.
- Do not photograph hats, fights, or empty scenery. Keep the broadcast on smiles.
- When the crowd starts competing for the frame, keep photographing the happy group until the ending card appears.
Common mistakes
Photographing a hat can pull the run toward the Hat storyline, and photographing a fight can start Viral or Scared. The Say Cheese route needs a single, cheerful subject.
Do not worry about a perfect composition. A crowded, chaotic smile photo still counts as long as the park is happy and the TV keeps talking about smiles.
How to confirm the ending
The card reads Say Cheese Ending, ending 11 of 12, with the tagline "everyone wanted to be in the picture. only one of them fit". The PEEP SAYS CHEESE broadcast is the clearest visual confirmation.
Headlines to watch for
These are the on-screen captions that tell you the route is on track. If the TV stops using them, the run has moved to another story.
