Mochi StyleHow to earn coins in Mochi Style
Judges, runway battles, daily gifts and a few optional extras. Here is what each one pays, and how to fill your coin purse just by playing.
In this guide
You earn coins in Mochi Style by playing. Tapping Judge pays 8 coins for every star plus 4 coins for every heart item you wear. A runway battle pays 50 coins for a loss and 160 or more for a win. The daily gift adds coins on three of its seven days. Optional videos can multiply a reward or add 60 coins, but you never have to watch one.
You found the perfect cardigan, tapped it, and saw a little lock with a coin price. Now you are wondering where coins come from and how long it takes to save up.
The good news: every part of the game that is fun also pays. This guide explains how to earn coins in Mochi Style. It lists each way to get them, shows what it gives, and ends with a short routine you can follow each time you play. Every amount below matches what the game shows on screen.
What coins are for
Coins are the yellow currency in the top bar. Gems are the pink one next to them. A new doll starts with 120 coins and 10 gems.
Locked closet items show one of three labels:
- A coin price. Items in the closet cost 60, 90, 140 or 200 coins.
- A gem price. Some pieces cost gems instead.
- A green "Free" label. These unlock when you choose to watch a short video.
So coins open a big share of the closet, and you can earn all of them without spending money.
Way 1: let the judges score your look
Tapping Judge is the steady way to fill your purse. Three judges each give one to five stars, and the coin total follows a simple rule:
- 8 coins for every star
- 4 coins for every heart item you are wearing
A heart on an item means it fits today's theme. The scene, the pet and face choices such as eyes and blush can carry hearts too, so they add coins as well as stars.
The picture below shows a real example. Miso gave five stars, Pudding three and Bean two. That is 10 stars, or 80 coins. Two heart items added 8 more, which makes 88.
A full row of 15 stars is worth 120 coins before the heart bonus. If your stars are low, our guide to how the three judges score your look explains what each judge counts.
After you collect, the next theme comes up straight away. You can dress for it and tap Judge again as often as you like.
Way 2: win runway battles
Runway battles pay the most per round. You pick 3 of 5 parcels, dress in 60 seconds and walk the catwalk against a rival.
- A win pays 150 coins plus 10 for each win in your streak. Your first win pays 160, the next one in a row 170, then 180.
- A loss still pays 50 coins. Nobody leaves the runway empty-handed.
Winning has a second prize that saves coins: you keep one item from the parcels. That is a piece you no longer need to buy.
Your streak goes back to zero after a loss, so a careful look beats a rushed one. The runway battle guide covers parcels and the timer step by step.
Way 3: open your daily gift
Tap the Daily button on the left of the dress up room once a day. The gifts run for seven days and then start again:
- Day 1: 50 coins
- Day 2: 80 coins
- Day 3: 5 gems
- Day 4: 120 coins
- Day 5: a mystery box
- Day 6: 10 gems
- Day 7: the Fairy Wings and 20 gems
That is 250 coins a week for one tap a day. Missing a day does not send you back to Day 1. The next gift simply waits until you return.
Way 4: optional videos
Some rewards offer a short video for a bigger prize. All of these are choices, and the plain Collect button is always right there.
- Triple the judges' coins. "Get ×3 coins" turns 88 into 264.
- Double a battle reward. "Get ×2" turns a 160 win into 320.
- Free coins in the shop. Tap the coin counter, open the Coins tab and watch for +60 coins. You can do this three times a day.
- A top-up when you are short. If you cannot afford an item, the game offers +60 coins for a video.
If no video is ready, the game says "No video right now" and nothing is lost. Parents who want to know how ads in children's games are set up can read how child-directed ads work.
Way 5: swap gems for coins
The Coins tab in the shop also lets you trade gems you already have: 30 gems for 500 coins, or 75 gems for 1,400 coins.
Gems arrive slowly from the daily gift, so think before you swap. Some closet pieces can only be bought with gems. If the item you want has a coin price, a swap helps. If it has a gem price, keep your gems.
Gems can also be bought with real money, which is an optional in-app purchase and a decision for a grown-up. Nothing in this guide needs it.
A simple daily coin routine
Follow these steps each time you open the game.
- Claim the daily gift. One tap, and on coin days it is the easiest income of all.
- Open the free mystery box if it is ready. It gives an outfit piece, not coins, but every free piece is one less to buy.
- Read the theme card. Note the three style words.
- Wear heart items. Each one is worth 4 coins and helps Pudding's stars.
- Add details and the theme scene. A hat, glasses, wings and a pet lift Bean's stars. Each star is 8 coins.
- Tap Judge and collect. Then dress for the next theme and repeat.
- Play a runway battle. Wear at least two parcel items for a score bonus, and pick the parcel item you like most when you win.
- Spend on pieces you will use often. A top or shoes in a colour you love will appear in many looks.
Spend coins wisely
Earning is half the story. These habits make coins last.
- Try before you buy. You can put on a locked item to see how it looks. The game only asks you to unlock it, or take it off, when you tap Judge.
- Check the hearts first. An item with a heart for several themes earns its price back through the judges.
- Recolour what you own. The colour row changes almost every piece, so one top can become five outfits. The kawaii pastel colour palette guide has easy pairs to copy.
- Let prizes do the work. The mystery box, battle wins and Day 7 of the daily gift all hand out items without touching your coins.
FAQ
What is the fastest way to get coins in Mochi Style?
Runway battles pay the most per round: 160 coins or more for a win and 50 for a loss. Judging pays less each time, but you can do it again and again with no waiting.
How many coins do the judges give?
You get 8 coins for every star and 4 coins for every heart item your doll wears. A full row of 15 stars is worth 120 coins before the heart bonus is added.
Do I have to watch videos to earn coins?
No. Videos are always optional. They can triple a judging reward, double a battle reward or add 60 coins, but the Collect button gives you the normal amount every time.
Do I lose my daily gift if I miss a day?
No. The seven gifts go in order, and a missed day does not reset them. When you come back, the next gift in the row is waiting for you.
What is the difference between coins and gems?
Coins are earned by judging and battles and buy most closet items. Gems are rarer. They come from the daily gift, buy certain pieces and can be swapped for coins in the shop.
Do I get coins if I lose a runway battle?
Yes. A loss still pays 50 coins. Your win streak goes back to zero, so the next win pays 160 again and grows from there.
