Meet the Matchmaker
From Grouse House Wiki
This month's storyline is interwoven with its mechanics. By playing this event normally, you will be able to progress in the story! You can begin this story right when the event begins at 00:00 on February 1st.
The storyline is separated into two branches - one for the matchmaking part of the event and one for the dating part. You may notice some crossover between these two as you progress, but each is controlled only by how many matches you make and how many dates you go on, respectively.
Completion of each storyline branch rewards you with 100 
Lovebugs!
After you've started the Meet the Matchmaker storyline, you'll have access to daily quests which will grant Lovebugs, new applicants to your matchmaking agency, and one new dateable wolf if you don't already have them all!
You can take the quest once per rollover from the Matchmaker page. Eranthis will task you with advertising their matchmaking agency to other wolves who you come across while exploring. Each quest will require you to advertise to 5 wolves. In order to complete this quest, you can just explore normally! When you happen across a befriendable wolf, you'll notice a new option has appeared. Spreading the Word to one befriendable wolf will count as one wolf for your quest. After you've done this five times, you can navigate back to the Matchmaker page to complete the quest.
The reward for completing a daily quest is 5 Lovebugs. You will also get 5 new applicants to your matchmaking agency and one new dateable wolf. If you've already obtained all of the dateable wolves you're able to, that part of the reward will be left out.
If you don't complete the quest before rollover, it will reset, and you will have to start over with a new quest the next day, so make sure you get your quest finished in time!

It's the season of love! Your packmates and wolves from other packs have been mingling and socializing, and there's been an abundance of frolicking going on. It's been busy, and the energy in the air crackles with electricity.
Before you've gone more than a few feet, a purple-and-gray furred wolf bounds up to you, excited and out of breath.
"You there! You seem like you're the perfect candidate for love!"
Their eyes dance happily as they assess you. Love? What is this strange wolf talking about?
"Love is in the air, you see, and I mean to find every wolf their happy ending. I have no interest in the intricacies of love myself, but I do like helping others find their perfect match!"
They tilt their head and study you curiously.
"My name is Eranthis, by the way. I can't quite get a read on you...what say you? Do you want to help me and help your fellow wolves find their perfect match? Or are you lonely and want to find love yourself?"
Template:H2Hidden Progression of chapters in this storyline branch is dependent on the amount of matches you have made in Matchmaking. To quickly see how many matches you've made so far, you can follow this user log link and count the entries.
The following chapter begins first if you chose I want to be a matchmaker during the introduction, or the first time you visit the Matchmaking page otherwise.
"Splendid! Just the answer I was hoping for. You know this area and the wolves here best; you'll be famous for your matchmaking abilities in no time!"
They sit beside you, and with a claw they begin to scratch out a diagram in the dirt.
"There's just a little bit that you need to know about making the perfect match..."
"You can have a total of up to 10 wolves in the agency at one time. Hopefully, you'll be able to find a match there! But don't worry, if you can't, you can always ask wolves to leave and wait for new wolves to join."
"Matching wolves is about matching up traits. All wolves have their own preferences, and the more preferences you can match, the better the outcome!"
"Wolves can go on a total of 3 dates each. They can only date a particular wolf once, and the outcome of that date will determine how likely a match between the two wolves would be."
"Make sure to give both wolves an item for the date, and try to make sure it matches their preferences, or it might end up disappointing them!"
"After the date is over, you can go back to take a look at how it went. If it went well, you could think about matching them! Matching them is final, but the end goal for you and the wolves. Once the wolves are matched up, they'll leave the agency as a couple, and the success of the match will determine what kind of tip they'll leave you!"
"Got all that, huh? You learn fast! Now let's see how you do with some real clients. I have some lovely wolves that would like to be matched. Think you can find at least one match?"
The storyline will continue after you send a pair of wolves on a date.
"Perfect! A natural, like I knew you would be. Let's send them off on their dates! After the dates are completed, try to match at least one pair!"
The storyline will continue after you send successfully match one pair of wolves.
"I think the word is starting to get out... More wolves are starting to arrive. Can you keep matchmaking them?"
The following chapter is unlocked after making 5 matches, then re-visiting the Matchmaking page.
Wolves have been vying for your attention all day it seems. Eranthis trots into the clearing, trailed by a small cluster of wolves. They're chatting excitedly, and gesture the group over to you when they catch your eye.
Oh boy--more customers!
"[NAME]! I've found you some more wolves that want to try out your matchmaking skills!"
They wag their tail with a grin.
"That's the spirit! The proof is in the pudding, eh? You've got more customers!"
The wolves behind them look hopeful and eager, and begin to crowd around.
"Hey, one at a time!" Eranthis barks, not unkindly, and turns to you. "Are you ready for some more matchmaking?"
Eranthis nods in understanding.
"Of course! You haven't done too many matches yet so that makes sense."
The wolves behind them begin to crowd up behind them, and they're nearly shoved into you.
"Okay, okay!" They bark out a laugh and shoot you a grin. "There's only one way to get better--do some more matchmaking! Are you ready?"
They tut and bump your shoulder with their head encouragingly.
"Nonsense! You've made successful matches already--if you weren't any good, you wouldn't have been able to do that!"
Excited murmurs pop up from the wolves behind Eranthis, and they wag their tail expectantly.
"See? They can't wait to have you match them!"
The following chapter is unlocked after making 15 matches, then re-visiting the Matchmaking page.
