When the difference between ending up in paradise and inferno comes down to a single choice, you really need all the help you can get. The island of Inferno is as hot as it gets — in terms of its population of attractive residents, and also in terms of tempers, should you play the field a little too aggressively. Make it through enough challenges, though, and your time there could give way to something a bit more luxurious. Specifically, a ticket to Paradise. That’s where this guide to Single’s Inferno: Choices, the mobile game, comes in.
It won’t always be just hanging out at base camp with the larger group. You’ll get plenty of chances to sneak away for more intimate encounters, like prepping for a meal with someone special, scouring the island for appropriate firewood, and maybe even an oceanside confessional. Then there’s Paradise — should you and your boo make it past the island’s challenges. But even then, success isn’t guaranteed. Coming back from Paradise, Inferno lights up with a new round of singles to test your fidelity. It’s starting to feel like hell truly is other people.
Is there a specific type of wood you need to start a fire? Err ... yes, there is. It becomes very clear that Eun-ji might’ve never been outside the city before coming on Single’s Inferno. And it isn’t long before you realize that, of the three of you, only Seo-jun has actually started a fire before.
When your hands are full, Seo-jun gets flirty and offers to help with your load. The thing is, Eun-ji sees what’s happening. Her hands are full, too, and she isn’t shy about letting everyone nearby know. Are you gonna stake your claim, or is your friendship with Eun-ji more valuable? Your choices here are the start of your journey to Paradise and its 10,000-thread-count sheets. Pick wisely.
Nothing says romance like a private oceanside gazebo all to yourselves. Conversations get a little more vulnerable when it’s just you, a fellow hottie, salty air, and some time spent away from everyone else’s prying eyes and ears. This type of setting is kinda perfect for learning more about your potential mate, while still staying within the island’s guardrails.
For example, is 11 heartbreaks a lot? They weren’t all recently, for the record. Really, it all depends on the way you look at it. If you’re trying to take the single who reveals this to you to Paradise, maybe don’t tell them they’ve had too many exes. It’s not like they could control how the other person felt about them anyhow, and you’ve got nothing to gain by being cruel.
You’ve survived the grueling challenges the ever-present island speaker boxes have thrown at you, and it’s finally time to escape somewhere a little north of hell. This is your chance to eat food you didn’t have to cook first, and to ask all kinds of probing questions about your match.
Your curiosity could be a double-edged sword here, though. Maybe learning too much about the other person will pour cold water on your budding romance. Or perhaps the physical connection just won’t be there. Either way, just try to enjoy yourself and a night of privacy and not sleeping on the floor of a shipping container. It’s the little things.
Or is it? Forming bonds with someone isn’t about the location, it’s about the person. Paradise is what you make of it. A deep oceanside conversation offering a peek into someone’s inner world is valuable, too. And it’s not like you’re stuck on Inferno forever. Luxury hotels likely won’t always be a way of life. So long as the company and vibes are present, does it matter where you are?
To make the mobile version of Single’s Inferno feel authentic to the source material, the hosts are never far away. Sometimes, the drama is too good to pass up, and Jun-hee, along with series alumni Gwan-hee and Ha-jeong, will pop up on screen to comment on whatever juicy tea is spilling, or while you’re baring your soul to your latest crush.
Other times, it’s a bit more involved, like when Gwan-hee, Ha-jeong and new character Jun-hee pop up in the lounge to recap the events of the previous scene. These help refresh you on what happened if you had to put the game down for a second — like if a phone call comes in, or you’ve gotta get off the train — and you can’t quite remember what just transpired.
Depending on your conversation skills, by the time you reach the end of the game, you could have yourself a collection of special photos. Treat people with compassion and kindness, comforting and reassuring those who are comfortable enough sharing their darkest secrets, and you’ll unlock a special photo of them. You can check out your collection at any time, straight from the rewards tab on the main menu.
