Get together with your furry friends inParty Clubto serve, fight, and all-around do business with customers in your very own venue. Together, you can sail from isle to isle, opening up shop in a fun variety of areas, meeting half of the animal kingdom along the way.

One of the many merits of the game is the option to completely customise your little guys with a wide range of hats, outfits, and weapons. Want to protect your bar from revellers as a steel pipe brandishing tarsier or fill the club with red panda waiters? With the in-game shop, you may do just that.

You can also run around in your birthday suit without any hats or bodywear. They are animals, after all. You have to have a weapon, though, which by default will always be the wooden plank.

How To Customise Your Character Before Joining A Lobby

When youstart up a game in Online or Couch Mode, you’ll be given the chance toedit your character. Toggle the arrows to switch through which animal you are and which clothes you’re wearing.

The toggles are labelled from top to bottom to note which aspect of your character you’re customising.

How To Change Your Character Once In A Lobby

Should you change your mind about being a partying pangolin and would prefer to play as another animal, you can easily change it up after you’vestarted the game and picked which realmyou’re clubbing in.

Once the game has started,select whichever realm you wantto play in — such as the Old Village or Metropolis — and sail there. Wait for your character todisembark from their boatand walk off the pier onto land.

Now that you’re on land, there are two things you can do. You can walk to the building on the north of the island, where you select your level. Or, you canlook out for the blue telephone box to the westof the island.

Walk into the phonebox and interact with it. This brings up a menu that allows you to completely change your character, including picking a different animal or changing up your hat.

You canonly do this between levels. That means once you’ve started to set up shop, you’ll have towait until you clear (or fail) the levelto mix things up.

Although multiple players can walk into the phone booth at once, only one can actually interact with it at a time. That’s to say that even if you’ve successfully barged your way, you’ll still have to wait your turn.

Which Animals Can I Be?

When you first start out, you canplay as one of four animals:

You canchoose which animal you play as the same way you equip hatsand outfits. There areno stats differences between each animal, so go wild picking out whichever one you want to be.

How To Use The Shop

Youunlock new accessories and emotes using the shopfunction on the game’s home page. When you first boot up Party Club, you may start a lobby or togglethrough two other pages: shop and settings.Select shop.

How To Unlock New Accessories

Toggle to the shop pageto see the full range of wares on offer and select Cosmetics. Asub-menu will open upwhere you can peruse the hats, outfits, and weapons available. This page is important for unlocking things to customise your creatures with.

Select the item you want to unlock and interact with itto unlock it. This willcost acorns, one of the in-game currencies you’re able to earn by playing. Once unlocked, these items will beavailable when you customiseyour animal.

Some cosmetics are only available once you’ve completed a certain number of levels. When you hover over an item you haven’t unlocked, it will tell you exactly how to unlock it.

How To Customise Emotes

Emoting is useful for communicating with your co-workers during the last call rush. You canhave four emotes assigned at once, which by default will be:

Tilted!

You can alsounlock new emotes from the shop using acorns. Same as with accessories, you need totoggle to the shop menu. This time,select Emojisinstead of Cosmetics.

This shows awhole list of emotes availablefor you to choose from, with 23 in total available. They all depict animals with different emotions and fun illustrations, mostly associated with things you would want to do during a workday.

This reveals some of the animals that join the game later as customers, so if you feel like that’s a spoiler, don’t scroll too far.

Navigate to the emoteyou want andinteract with it. If you’re using keyboard controls, you may do this using WASD or the arrow keys and the spacebar. Now that you’ve done this, you can equip them.

Equip an emote by interacting again. Then,press the button you want to map the emote to and interactone more time. This is how you will use the emotes once you’re in-game.

After joining a game lobby or entering a level, you canemote using the mapped controlsyou set in the shop. When you use keyboard controls, this is done with the number keys or numpad, so be ready to hit 1 to 4.

Some emotes can only be unlocked by clearing certain levels, so be ready to start your clubbing empire before getting some of them.

How To Earn Acorns

Youearn acorns by completing questswhile running your bar. Youchoose which quests you will completewhile picking your game’s difficulty at the start of each level.

Playing the game onMedium or Hard will earn more acornsthan playing it on Easy. However, youonly earn the acorns if you successfully completethe quest. So, playingmore of the game on Easyto grind for acorns could be more efficient.

Pick which difficulty you play with carefully, depending on what the quests offer. Some will offer more acorns for easier jobs than others, andsome can even give you new accessoriesthemselves. The icon to the right of the quest summary will tell you what it pays.

You can redo levels just to unlock acorns. If you’ve started unlocking some tougher levels, why not go back and replay some early-game levels while you try to buy your Quokka a new outfit?
