- Smoothie Showdown is a multi-part customer request centered on a blender stand and its missing parts.
- Search systematically: sweep the scene left to right and check every interactive container before leaving.
- Interactions first: several required objects only appear after you open, move, or examine cluttered props.
- Hints are limited: save the hint function for the final stubborn object, not the first few finds.
- Double-check optional discoveries before exiting the scene so you don't have to replay it later.
Smoothie Showdown Overview
The Lost and Found Co smoothie showdown request is one of the game's most chaotic hidden-object scenes, cramming dozens of fruit, kitchenware, and stand-equipment items into a single cluttered market environment. Like every request Ducky and Mei handle, your job is to read the customer's list, locate each requested object in the scene, and hand them over in the correct condition — some items must be repaired, cleaned, or reassembled before they count.
The scene follows the same core loop the rest of the game uses: examine cluttered areas, locate requested objects, and progress through the customer's list. What makes this request trickier is how heavily it leans on scene interactions. A significant portion of the required smoothie-making equipment is tucked inside crates, behind counter props, or blended into fruit displays, so a passive visual sweep alone will not clear it.
Open the request list first and separate the required objects from optional discoveries. Note which items look like they belong inside containers — those are the ones that will need interactions to reveal.
Here is how the main object categories break down in this request:
| Category | Examples | How They Appear | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blender parts | Pitcher, lid, blade assembly | Hidden inside crates and under counters | ★★★★ |
| Fruit items | Berries, bananas, citrus | Scattered across displays, some blended into decor | ★★ |
| Kitchen tools | Spatula, cups, straws | On hooks and shelves, partially covered | ★★★ |
| Repair targets | Dented pitcher, torn poster | Need a puzzle or repair step before hand-in | ★★★★ |
| Optional finds | Juju, special collectibles | Off the main path, easy to overlook | ★★★ |
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Follow this sequence to clear the request efficiently without backtracking. The order matters because several objects only become visible after earlier interactions reshape the scene.
Read the Full Request List
Open the customer's request and review every listed object. Identify anything that sounds like it sits inside a container — pitchers, tool sets, packaged goods — and mentally flag those for interaction checks later. Confirm whether any item is marked as damaged and needs repair.
Sweep the Scene Systematically
Scan from one side of the scene to the other, covering foreground and background layers separately. Collect the obvious fruit and loose tools first so the clutter thins out and harder objects become easier to spot. Match shapes and silhouettes rather than assuming expected locations.
Trigger Scene Interactions
Open every clickable crate, cabinet, and container in the stand area. Many blender components only appear after these interactions. If an item on the list refuses to show up, look for a prop that logically could hold it — a locked box, a covered basket, a stack of crates.
Solve the Repair Puzzle
Damaged items require a short mini-puzzle or repair sequence before the customer accepts them. Follow the on-screen logic — usually pattern matching or piece assembly — and the repaired item is added to your hand-in set automatically.
Verify and Complete
Cross-check the request list, confirm every item is either found or repaired, then hand everything in. Before leaving the scene, do one final pass for optional discoveries and collectibles.
Leaving the scene with an incomplete request forces a replay of the search later. Verify the request is fully checked off — including repaired items — before moving to the next customer.
Key Item Locations and Interactions
The objects that stall most players in this request are the ones hidden behind interactions. This table summarizes the common sticking points and how each one is resolved:
| Sticking Point | What Blocks It | How to Resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Blender pitcher | Tucked in a crate behind the counter | Open the crate interaction, then collect |
| Blade assembly | Partially covered by fruit display props | Clear the flagged foreground objects first |
| Requested berries | Blended into decorative fruit arrangements | Match color and shape, not placement |
| Damaged cup set | Requires repair before hand-in | Complete the repair mini-puzzle |
| Missing straw bundle | Inside a container on a high shelf | Trigger the shelf interaction |
| Optional Juju | Off the main path near scene edges | Check corners after the main list is done |
Some interactions chain — opening one container reveals a second clickable prop. If a scene interaction produces nothing immediately, look for what changed in the surrounding area before moving on.
When an object still will not appear after a careful sweep and interaction pass, use the hint function. Hints work best when most of the list is already cleared, because the remaining object is usually the one hidden behind a non-obvious interaction.
Search Strategies Compared
Different search approaches suit different players. These three methods all work, but they trade speed against thoroughness:
Systematic Sweep
- Left-to-right, layer by layer
- Most reliable for first visits
- Slower but rarely misses objects
- Best for completionist runs
Interaction-First
- Open every container immediately
- Reveals hidden objects early
- Faster on repeat visits
- Risky if you skip visual checks
List-Driven
- Hunt one item type at a time
- Good for large lists
- Keeps focus on silhouettes
- Can waste time on misplaced items
For the smoothie showdown specifically, the interaction-first method pays off because so many required objects sit inside containers. Combine it with a final systematic sweep to catch the optional discoveries.
Complete the main request list first, then re-scan the scene for collectibles. A cleaner scene — with the main clutter gone — makes hidden Juju and special items far easier to spot.

FAQ
Q: What is the Smoothie Showdown in Lost and Found Co?
It is a hidden-object customer request centered on a smoothie stand, where Ducky and Mei must recover scattered blender parts, fruit, and kitchen tools — some of which require repairs — before handing them back to the customer.
Q: Why can't I find the blender pitcher in the smoothie showdown scene?
The pitcher and several other components are hidden inside interactive containers. Open every crate, cabinet, and covered prop in the stand area — the pitcher typically appears only after one of these interactions resolves.
Q: Should I use hints during this request?
Save hints for the final one or two stubborn objects. Hints are most effective after the obvious items are collected, because the remaining objects are usually the ones hidden behind non-obvious scene interactions.
Q: Can I return to the scene later for missed collectibles?
Yes, but replaying a completed scene costs time. A final sweep for optional discoveries and Juju before you leave is the more efficient approach, especially since cleared clutter makes hidden items easier to spot.
