Before you sign up
- A Palia Pal account with your in-game name (Settings → Account), spelled exactly as in the game, so the host can find you.
- Notifications on (Settings → Notifications), for the reminder, the World ID and the host's announcements. You choose which: reminders and changes, announcements, chat.
- The recipe or tools the party needs. Cooking parties list what each role brings; hunts and bug parties say what gear helps.
Finding a party
- Filter by kind (cooking, hunting, bug catching…) and day (today, tomorrow, this week). Palia Pal remembers your filters.
- Tell me about new parties: pick kinds, or a dish, bug, creature or fish, and get a notification when someone hosts one.
- Follow a host you like from their party page, and hear whenever they host. Tap a host's name for their page: what they have coming up, what they ran this week, and their record.
- Search by party, dish, host or Discord server, and see the Finished ones from the last week, newest first.
- The badges tell you up front: Streamed means the host streams or records it, repeats means it runs on a schedule.
Signing up
- Pick a role. In a cooking party each ingredient is a role with the amount for the whole batch. "More welcome" roles take extra people.
- Add what you bring to your shopping list with one tap.
- Full? Join the waiting list: first in, first moved up, with a notification.
- Sign-ups close at a time the host picks (usually when it starts).
- Can't make it after all? Leave the party so the next person on the waiting list gets your spot.
Getting into the host's world
- Check How to join on the party page: World ID, friends list, Discord, or ask for an invite.
- For a World ID, tap Copy and use it in game.
- For the friends list, add the host by their in-game name, or accept their request.
- Be there by the time the page says, if the host asks people to arrive early.
Stuck? Tap a quick reply like Can't find the World ID or Can I get an invite? and the host gets it at once.
During the party
Guests talk with quick replies so nobody types mid-cook: On my way, I'm here, Sent you a friend request, I'm in your world, Can't find the World ID, Can I get an invite?, Running a few minutes late, Disconnected, rejoining, My part's done, Thanks for hosting!, That was fun!, plus stickers. The host can write, and posts announcements everyone sees.
Hosts often ask for a few things; the party page lists them:
- No pets, animated outfits or nameplates (fewer disconnects)
- Bring focus food
- Bring the right tool
- Please be on time
- Stay till the end
- Giveaway at the end
- Join the Discord first
Afterwards, tap Thanks for hosting!: it counts on the host's page, so good hosts are easy to find.
Questions
How do I join a Palia party?
Open Social → Parties in Palia Pal, pick a party and tap Take this role. When it starts, copy the host's World ID from the party page (or add the host as a friend) and join them in game.
Where do I find the World ID?
On the party page, under How to join, once you've signed up. Only the host and people signed up can see it, and you get a notification when the host shares or changes it.
What if the party is full?
Join the waiting list. If someone leaves, the first person waiting moves in and gets a notification.
What does "be there by" mean?
Some hosts ask everyone to arrive a few minutes early (people often call it the sync) so the party can start on time. Your reminder comes before that time, not the start.
Can I sign up for two parties at once?
Yes, but Palia Pal warns you when the times overlap.
