Palia Party makes it easy to find an activity and commit to a specific role, ensuring every participant knows their job and the host has a full crew.

The Sign-Up Process

When you view a public party listing, you see the event's needs in detail.

  • Role Availability: For Cooking parties, you see the necessary stations displayed as icons (e.g., Chopping Board, Mixer, Oven). Next to each icon, you see a count of the required spots and how many are currently filled.
  • Role Selection: Simply click the available role you wish to claim. This instantly reserves that spot under your name and is reflected on the host's roster.
  • Commitment: By claiming a role, you are committing to bringing the specified ingredients (if any) and performing that task during the party.

Understanding Roles

We categorize party members into two types to maximize participation and reward.

Required Recipe Roles

These are the players performing the steps required to completing the recipe.

  • Essential: The party cannot function or advance without these roles being filled and performed correctly.
  • Full Rewards: All players in a required role receive the full reward for every round completed.

Over Prep (OP) Slots

These are additional spots designed to allow more players to join and earn rewards, even after the minimum required roles are filled.

  • What it is: Over Prep means you contribute extra ingredients to the preparation phase of a component (like adding an extra Sweet Leaf to the Chopping Board, even though the recipe only requires two).
  • The Benefit: While the extra ingredient may technically be "wasted" (not needed for the recipe itself), it registers your participation in the round.
  • Full Reward: Any player who registers a contribution - whether in a key role or an OP slot - receives full loot and XP.
  • Beginner Friendly: OP is often the easiest role to sign up for if you are new to the process, as there is no pressure to perfectly time your step.

Post Sign-Up

Once you are signed up for any role:

  • Confirmation: Your name is added to the attendee list for the host to manage.
  • Next Step: Your only remaining task is to gather the required ingredients and send a friend request to the Host Name usually provided in the party description or next to the green (host) or yellow (co-host) crown icon in the party attendees list, before the scheduled start time.
  • Signed Up Parties: All parties you've signed up for will be conveniently displayed on the front page under the Signed Up Parties tab on the homepage under the Parties section

Withdrawing from a Sign-Up

If you can no longer attend an event you've signed up for, please withdraw as soon as possible to allow others to take your spot.

  • How to Withdraw:

    • Navigate to the party listing where you're signed up
    • Locate your name in the attendee list
    • Click the Withdraw button next to your name
    • Confirm your withdrawal when prompted

  • Etiquette:

    • Withdraw at the earliest opportunity if you know you can't attend
    • If the event is starting soon, consider sending a quick message to the host to let them know
    • You can rejoin the event later if your plans change and spots are still available

  • Important: If you repeatedly sign up and withdraw from events without notice, hosts may restrict your ability to join their future events.
