Your tourists will occasionally pop up Quest Bubbles above their heads. Clicking on them and accepting their request counts towards some Awards as well as give you a chance to pick up a Resource which you can use throughout the game. Watch out when actioning a Quest Bubble on the second part of the island: the Bubbles look the same but sometimes the tourists will ask you to buy Keys from them.

* These drop rates come from combining probabilities from different configuration files and giving educated guesses to the results. If you think these drop rates are wrong, please tell us why in the comments.
- Note: When a bubble appears and you action it, the person continues walking as normal. Unless: if everyone is returning to the ship and everyone else has boarded but there is one last person walking towards the ship and that person gets a quest bubble, the ship "gives that person up" and departs, then when you action the quest the person vanishes. It is ironic if this quest bubble happens to be the "!" "I'm running late for the ship" quest.
- Note: It is strongly suspected given the description of the Recipe quest of them buying the recipe from you, that the original intention was that this quest would give you money and/or XP, but that the programmer assigned this section of code accidentally linked the "effect" to the Cocktail quest so both the Recipe quest and Cocktail quest give you the same large negative $ charge.
- Note that the $ amount on the quests varies slightly each time, averaging around a certain number. As you go up XP Levels, the average $ amount and the XP amount slowly increase.
- Note: The islanders do not appear if your graphic detail is set to "Low detail".
- Pre v1.2 the quest bubbles were titled "Congratulations!". v1.2+ they are titled "Help tourist"

Notes:
- 156 to 160: Disagreeing to a quest does NOT count
- 161: Only Disagreeing to a quest counts
- Some new players attempting this quest on v1.2+ have indicated they are positive they have disagreed over 100 times and not received this award. The current speculation is that this Award is only triggered when Disagreeing to the original 4 Quests: Medusa, Thirsty, Lost and Hungry.
