Dream Town Story – Ultimate Combos Guide

Charles Judd
(Last Updated On: May 24, 2023)

Dream Town Story, developed by Kairosoft, is a unique city-builder with brilliant mechanics. The game looks simple at first, but it gets very exciting once you discover combos. This feature is activated when you place compatible buildings next to each other.

However, the game doesn’t explicitly tell you which groups of structures are considered combos. You can either pay with diamonds or manually guess to discover them. One way might be too expensive for you, and the other takes a lot of time and luck. You might waste resources in the process. This ultimate combos guide for Dream Town Story can help you avoid that.

Activating Combos

The structures that make up a combo are centered around themes. For example, the buildings that complete the Picnic Combo are the Park, Bakery, and Lunches 2 Go. Activating them doesn’t require you to place them in a particular order.

All related buildings must be adjacent, meaning their borders need to be connected for the combo to activate. Also, it won’t work if one structure does not have road access.

It is possible to play Dream Town Story like traditional town and city simulators, such as Bit City, where you don’t have to worry about building placements as long as you have space and money. However, implementing combos into your game gives you a tremendous edge.

Combo Bonuses

While individual buildings have resident impacts and treasures as bonuses, combos can multiply the land and product prices of all bordering facilities. Even structures that are not part of the combo can benefit from it as long as they are connected.

Product prices can go up to 65%, and land prices can balloon to 250%. This all depends on the combos you choose to set up.

Standard Combo List

Over 180 standard combos are in the game, but only about 60 can be discovered with diamonds. The rest are hidden. You don’t have to worry about any of that, though, because this free guide has every combo you will ever need in Dream Town Story.

The following tables are combos categorized by the bonus effects they give.
