Welcome! This guide is focused on the practical steps you need to take to find and successfully join an organized group activity in Palia, such as a Celebration Cake Party or a large Flow Tree hunt.

Finding Your Perfect Party

Use the tools here to quickly identify the group activity that fits your goals and schedule.

Browse and Filter

  • Public Parties List: View a clear, real-time list of all public parties that are currently looking for members. Look for events that are Ongoing now or Scheduled for a time that works for you.
  • Activity Filter: Easily sort the listings by what you want to achieve:
    • Cooking: Find groups focused on mastering specific recipes.
    • Foraging/Mining: Locate large-scale resource gathering events.
    • Gifting: Find partners for coordinating daily Gifting Rounds.
  • Time Check: The time for every scheduled party is automatically displayed in your local time zone, so you can confidently plan your arrival.

Signing Up for a Role

  • View Details: Click on any party listing to review the full description, including the Host's in-game name and any special plot instructions.
  • Claim Your Role: For Cooking parties, select the specific role you want (e.g., "Mixer," "Chopper," or "Oven").
  • Over Prep (OP): If the primary roles are filled, sign up for an Over Prep (OP) slot. This confirms your participation, allows you to contribute ingredients, and ensures you still receive the recipe reward and experience.

How to Join the Host's Server

Once you have signed up for a party and claimed your spot, you must connect with the host in the game.

  1. Get the Host Name: Note the Host's In-Game Name listed on the party's description page.
  2. Send Friend Request: Log into Palia. Press O (default key) to open your Social Menu, and immediately send a friend request to the Host Name.
    • Tip: Ensure the name you signed up with matches your character name exactly to help the host identify and accept your request.
  3. Wait for Acceptance: Wait for the host to accept your friend request.
  4. Visit Plot: Once accepted, use your in-game Social Menu or your Home Plot Sign to select the host and choose "Visit Home Plot." This action is essential to load into the host's server instance and participate in the activity!

Be Prepared: Always read the description for instructions on when to arrive, and know what ingredients (especially if they need to be Star-Quality) you need to bring for your chosen role!
