A new quest was added to Dress to Impress after the Summer Update 2025 (Part 2) that focuses on going for a vacation that’s hopefully monster-free. This page explains how to start and complete the Chapter 1 quest in the DTI Summer Update. As well as every decision you can make! Use our guide to get the Scarlet Fierce Top and Scarlet Fierce Skirt by completing both endings.

How to Start the Chapter 1 Quest – DTI Summer Update
There are two ways to start the Chapter 1 quest in the DTI Summer Update. First, you can enter the big blue portal in the Intermission area out on the beach. You can also find it if you pick the Regular Mode option when creating a private server.
The second way is even easier! All you have to do is open the menu at the bottom left corner, tap the Teleport button, and then pick the bottom right button that says “Quest. Limited time event!” on it.
Once you teleport over to the new island, you’ll need to continue forward along the path to get to the yacht. On the dock, you can pick the size of your lobby if you’re looking to play with others or alone. The four lobby sizes are one, two, four, and six.
How to Complete the Chapter 1 Quest
After you finish the cutscene where you’re happy to start your summer vacation, it’s time to head up to the boat’s deck. A little bit of dialogue about the yacht will appear before you can head to the deck up top and make a decision.
Make sure you’re ready since you’ll only have 15 seconds to decide where to go next. Depending on your decision, you’ll end up on a different path for the Chapter 1 ending. Click either of the links below to see where each decision goes:
Investigate Fog in Chapter 1
This choice in the DTI quest leads to a spooky island after investigating the dark green fog in the distance. You’ll need to explore the island to discover its secrets. Before you can do much here, you’ll need to head to the center, where a cave is.
Entering the glowing circle on the floor will activate a 10-minute timer and a goal to find clues. These are small notes spread throughout the island that you can collect. You’ll need to find every clue to learn the code to the door inside the cave. Once you get every clue, the symbols on the wall next to the door will have numbers inside them. You can then enter these numbers in order from left to right onto the keypad on the floor.
The tough part about getting those clues, however, is that there’s a tall, creepy monster wandering the island. You’ll need to avoid them and the many bear traps they’ve placed in the area. If your heart starts beating, that means they’re very close and you should try to get away. You can sprint away using the green bar at the bottom of your screen. For those on PC, use the shift button to run.
If the monster chases you, be prepared for a jump scare and losing a life. While you have three lives to complete this part of the DTI quest, getting caught won’t reset the timer or your progress. If you’re having trouble finding clues, they can appear on the ground and trees. Also, they’ll make a sound as you get closer to them.
If you get caught in a bear trap, don’t panic! You can get out of one by completing the quick time event where you have to tap as the line moves into the purple bar. You’ll need to succeed three times to move on, with it getting tougher after each success.
Once you successfully open the cave door, run inside before the monster gets you. This ends the Chapter 1 questline in DTI’s Summer Update. You can continue reading below for what happens if you make a different decision or try it on your own.
Investigate Music in Chapter 1
This choice leads to an island with a dance floor some Dress to Impress players may recognize. You’ll need to step onto each tile with a seashell to fill the party meter for this quest step. As you fill the meter, the island will come to life as different objects appear. Everything from surfboards to speakers and even entire huts.
Once you finish filling the meter, hang out for 60 seconds before making it to the next step! Now you’ll need to make 10 smoothies for the island’s coconut residents. Each straw hut has a glass and two blenders you can use to make smoothies.
Before you make a smoothie, you should speak with one of the coconut people who have red exclamation points above their heads. This will start a 45-second countdown, and a bubble will appear telling you what smoothie they want. Since there’s a short timer, you should only help one or at most two people at a time.
Plus, there’s no timer on how quickly you have to finish all 10 smoothies. So you can take your time even if you just want to hang out on the dance floor. Alright, here’s how to make smoothies in DTI:
- Grab a glass inside a straw hut.
- Interact with a blender while holding a glass.
- Pick the smoothie flavor you want to make.
- Wait for the blender to finish and then grab your smoothie.
- You can now bring the smoothie to whichever coconut person wants that flavor.
If the timer runs out or you make the wrong smoothie, don’t worry. If you run out of time, the person will disappear and another one will appear. Or if you make the wrong smoothie, you can drop it on the floor by pressing the drop item “X” button near the bottom of your screen.
Once you’ve finished serving up 10 smoothies, you’ll automatically return to The Yacht for the next step in our quest. Head back to the deck up top for your next 15-second decision.
Just Keep Sailing Decision
This decision is a continuation of the Investigate Music choice. It’s essentially the same as the first choice you can make to Investigate the Fog. If you’ve already done that, you won’t find anything new for DTI Chapter 1 Summer Update along this path. If this is new to you, click the following link to jump to our guide for this area:
Search For Treasure Decision
This decision is a continuation of the Investigate Music choice. Continuing your journey on the yacht, you’ll come across a shipwreck potentially filled with treasure. It’s time to leap off the yacht and investigate the wreckage. Who knows what you might find?
Similar to a Roblox obby, you’ll need to jump between platforms and objects to get across the water. If you fall into the water, it’ll knock you back out into the air or reset you to a checkpoint. Try not to spend too long on any object in the first area since they’ll sink if you stay too long.
Fortunately, the second and third section has parts that won’t sink on you. But the fourth area inside the shipwreck itself does. After reaching the first checkpoint at the rock with a glowing circle, you’ll need to move upriver along the platforms.
Sometimes there isn’t a clear path, so you may have to wait or move back to find the right way. Just make sure the river doesn’t take you with it because those objects won’t last forever if they reach the end. Once, you reach the third section, you’ll need to move downriver toward the shipwreck.
The area inside the ship is a little tight, so it can be tough to see where you are. You may need to zoom your camera in a bit. Once you get to the wooden plank with a white arrow pointing up, hop onto it and jump up. This leads to a new decision with a 15-second timer again.
Returning With The Harp or The Ocarina in Chapter 1
This decision is a continuation of the Investigate Music choice, which leads to the Search For Treasure. Now that you’ve picked either The Harp or The Ocarina, return to the yacht with your new reward. You’ll need to work your way back through the river, but you can jump off the side of the ship here. This shortcut makes it so you don’t have to go back underneath.
Once you’ve made it back to the yacht, you’ll get the Dress to Impress badge, Pirate Takeover. This triggers a cutscene where pirates board the yacht, and it introduces Scarlet Fierce. This marks the end of the Chapter 1 Summer Quest in DTI’s Summer Update. If you haven’t completed the other path yet, you can replay the quest or read about it in Investigate Fog.
