Say Cheese ending choices: Step-by-Step Ending Guide

The Say Cheese ending choices revolve around photographing events in a strange public park while a news station demands increasingly dramatic footage. Each scene changes according to the subject you capture, the moment you wait, and whether you keep following the station’s instructions.

The game presents a point-and-click structure rather than a traditional combat or progression system. Most endings come from directing your camera toward a specific subject, repeating a choice several times, or refusing to focus on the obvious spectacle.

Video Highlights:

• The route includes all 12 known story endings.
• Several endings begin with the hat, crowd conflict, or circle-and-square scenes.
• Waiting can reveal hidden events involving the TV, protesters, or watching crowd.
• The final outcomes range from sensational news coverage to peaceful resistance.

The first group introduces the park’s central news cycle: ordinary footage becomes conflict, conflict becomes spectacle, and spectacle becomes a story the station can sell. These choices are useful for learning how the camera changes the scene.

Viral Ending

Build the conflict by photographing the park’s hostile interactions. The scene progresses through fear, anger, and wider chaos. Continue selecting the most dramatic developments until the station confirms that the footage has become a viral story.

This route favors obvious spectacle. If you want to avoid accidentally switching routes, do not redirect the camera toward the television, cricket, or a peaceful crowd once the conflict has clearly escalated.

Follow the Money Ending

Look for the man in the suit after the park’s strange incidents begin. The story develops around a connection between the suited figure, the money, and the station itself. Continue following that thread instead of simply recording random violence.

The ending is investigative in tone. It rewards attention to the source of the chaos rather than only its visible consequences.

TV Ending

Choose the television repeatedly when the scene gives you the opportunity. The station questions why you keep filming it, but persistence causes the broadcast and the photographer’s perspective to blur together.

This route is easy to miss because the TV appears to be an unimportant object. Treat it as the main subject and continue selecting it when the game gives you a choice.

Cricket Ending

The cricket is another background detail that can become the entire story. Wait for the small event around it, then photograph the cricket-related action when it becomes available.

The route demonstrates an important rule: not every ending begins with a crowd or a fight. Quiet details can be just as important as dramatic scenes.

The middle routes explore what happens when the photographer either manufactures a headline, lets the crowd control the story, or refuses to prioritize anger. These endings share several scenes, so careful timing saves repeated attempts.

Breaking News Ending

Select empty or unhelpful images repeatedly. The station becomes frustrated because the news cycle is not receiving the dramatic material it wants. After enough repeated failures, the station creates its own story and turns the photographer into the headline.

This is one of the clearest examples of deliberate non-compliance. The goal is not to find a better subject; it is to keep providing material that appears to contain nothing useful.

Reverse Ending

Wait until the crowd begins watching the photographer. When the park’s attention turns toward the camera, continue taking pictures instead of leaving or trying to restore the old news cycle.

The route reverses the usual relationship between observer and subject. The people who were being photographed begin shaping the story, and the camera operator becomes part of the event.

Good Ending

Move through the park’s conflict scenes without continuing to feed the anger. Allow the squares and circles to cooperate, share space, and behave peacefully. When the station complains that peaceful footage will not attract viewers, continue supporting the calmer direction.

The Good ending is a useful contrast with the Viral and Scared endings. It shows that the park does not have to remain trapped in the station’s preferred cycle of outrage.

Hat Ending

Photograph the hatman when he appears, but pay attention to the timing. The character can return during the conflict route, and the story changes when the camera finally notices him in time.

The hatman route is easier to miss if you focus only on the crowd. Watch for his appearances and choose him when the scene clearly presents him as the important subject.

The final four routes involve public emotion, group identity, protest, and the consequences of refusing to look. They often require returning to a familiar conflict setup, so use the route table to identify the correct final focus.

Say Cheese Ending

Photograph the crowd as it smiles and gathers for the camera. Continue taking pictures when the scene becomes increasingly focused on who gets to be famous. The station treats the cheerful image as a strong headline, but the final result carries a darker implication.

This route uses the game’s title as part of its central joke. A request for everyone to smile becomes a competition for attention, and only one person can fit the station’s chosen story.

Scared Ending

Create the fear route by photographing frightened subjects and continuing to capture the park’s distrust. The station encourages suspicion, and the crowd begins fearing everyone rather than identifying one clear threat.

Keep selecting fearful developments when they appear. If you shift toward the hatman or peaceful protesters, the route may move toward another ending.

Peace Ending

Return to the conflict setup, then photograph the protesters as the march begins. Each additional image helps the peaceful march grow. Continue documenting the movement even when the station insists that peace does not sell.

The Peace ending is built around amplification. The camera does not merely record the march; it helps make the march larger and harder for the station to ignore.

Eyes Closed Ending

Begin with the familiar conflict route, but avoid focusing on the hatman when he appears. Let the surrounding panic continue while refusing to give that figure the camera’s attention. Eventually, the story reaches a point where observation stops feeding the fear.

This is a timing-sensitive route. The goal is not simply to photograph nothing from the beginning. Instead, progress through the scene and then stop watching the important figure at the correct moment.

Use this checklist after completing the major branches. Because several endings reuse the same opening sequence, mark each result by name rather than counting attempts.

Recommended Completion Order

A practical order is to complete TV and Cricket first, then investigate Follow the Money. After that, work through Breaking News, Reverse, Good, and Hat. Finish with Say Cheese, Scared, Peace, and Eyes Closed while the shared conflict sequence is familiar.

This order is not mandatory, but it reduces confusion between routes. Hidden-subject endings teach you to inspect the scene, while the later routes require more deliberate emotional or timing choices.
