How do I earn higher numbers of magnifying glasses in the cafe?

League points (pictured as blue ribbons with magnifying glass) are earned through team competitions and Help Wanted Cases. In the Time Rush competition, expect 4-7 ribbons per scene, and in Spot the Difference, expect 5-9, depending on scene advancement, speed, and score. Players who have learned to use the Magic Eye technique can complete many more scenes, so they will earn much more league points. There is no booster for league points, and using lantern hints will neither increase nor decrease your points, per se.

In Help Wanted cases, use strategy to get the most league points, such as refraining from claiming Estate coins, giving bushes, updating landmarks, opening star boxes, sending Jack on deliveries until asked. Also have some scenes reserved with low scores, so you can beat your own score. Have an abundance of coins and don't claim the grand prize, so you keep getting HW cases to buy seasonal items. Keep items in storage, ready to level up when asked. For player who have caught up to developers, stay one chapter behind, so you can still be prepared to find scene story clues and travel to a new chapter.

Then there are players who have multiple accounts. When the main account cannot earn more points, they switch in a 2nd account to play and earn points for the team. Usually they switch back to their main account to claim rewards, since only one account can claim.
