Heartopia Adds New Party Modes Hide & Seek Party and Parkour Party

XD Games has dropped a new update for Heartopia today with a new Party mode. Actually, there are two of ‘em. They are called Hide & Seek Party and Parkour Party, and both let you mess around with your friends inside the houses.

Hide & Seek Party takes the normal childhood game idea and turns it into something supernatural. Matches support up to twelve players split into two sides. One team plays as hiders who are possessed by creatures called Mysterious Grimkin.

Meanwhile, the other side becomes Investigative Journalists trying to uncover them. The gimmick is that the Grimkin Hosts can shapeshift into identical furniture pieces around the house. The Investigative Journalists aren’t left behind either.

They get to run around with a gadget called the Survey Drone. It’s a special camera used to photograph suspicious-looking objects and expose hidden Grimkin. So, if you enjoy chasing and sneaking around, this mode’s for you.

The other new addition, Parkour Party, goes in a completely different direction. This one lets you build obstacle courses throughout your home using furniture, platforms, walls, pillars, and trap items.

Some of the new traps are available at Bob’s furniture shop and the Research Lab. Basically, this new party mode in Heartopia creates increasingly ridiculous platforming challenges. They let you jump between obstacles, dodge pitfalls, and race for the fastest completion times to climb leaderboard rankings.

The Heartopia party mode update also changes how parties and towns work overall

A new Party Festival event system now lets you join public parties outside your own town for the first time. Also, you can now enter towns as visitors even if those towns are technically already full. So, from now onwards, getting locked out should happen less often.

There’s also a limited-time event called Kid-at-Heart Party beginning on May 28th. Finishing the Party Mode Update tasks can unlock exclusive Heartopia accessories and furniture rewards. There’s also a new Exhibition called Lustrous Parade. It includes the Floral Note and Feather String outfit sets as well as the Paradise furniture set.

There’s a lot to experience in this update. So, grab Heartopia from the Google Play Store if you haven’t already.
