Party tips + meta's

Hey there after playing a lot of Party and having over 1200 wins and about 6200 stars in the Party beta. I figured I'd share some tips and tricks, this thread will be filled accordingly cause for some game modes I need to record and/or include screenshots since that makes it way easier for you to understand and for me to explain. I in no way intend to tell you that these are the absolute best tactics it's just those that I personally use and think are best.

Now let's get to the tips and meta's

Spoiler: PaintMatch

So this game mode is quite easy if you get the meta, I recommend only focusing on the wall that is continued all the way (see images) Using f5 is a very handy tool as you have a way bigger view. Other things that help you out is good reflexes and a decent aim is also very helpful to quickly snap to the blocks you have and react quickly using this meta compared to not knowing these tips makes a huge difference as you can see from the screenshot showcasing the difference in score.

Spoiler: SheepShear

This game mode is decently based on luck, you have to get lucky to have sheep spawn near you and if so, higher scores ones, Generally you want to go for the higher points, but don't blindly chase after 6 pointers only, because clustered 1 point sheeps can make you shoot up the leaderboard quite quickly as well, avoid walking in big packs of players.

Spoiler: OneInTheChamber

In this game mode, you have to have some decent skill with the bow. There isn't really a meta other than if you're confident with the bow to go to the middle, that's usually where most players are to kill.

Spoiler: FallingSandGame

This game mode is somewhat based on luck but also on planning and looking ahead. You want to look for the most blocks around you at all times. I always make sure I have at least a cross around me, so a block to the left of me and right but also my front and my back, this is easiest to remember as you only have to move 1 block left, right. forwards or backward depending on where the sand/gravel lands, of course towards the end of the game this becomes impossible but always try to strive for the most blocks around you. The Sand Shield, which you can buy in the /shop with coins, is very useful it works for 3 rounds and bounces off sand and gravel falling down. I recommend saving this for the end of the game when there is almost no blocks left.

Spoiler: MusicalMinecarts

This game is based a lot on luck where the minecarts will spawn. But there are some tips you can use. I recommend using f5 and looking up in the way you can see in the screenshots. This way you can see (nearly) all of the map and thus where the minecarts are dropping.

Spoiler: Frogger

This game is probably one of the hardest, the animals aren't hard at all In fact you can just sprint jump through them 95% of the time. Just jump on the slabs and sprint jump all the way you will make it 95% of the time. When it comes to the logs I recommend waiting for long ones and to avoid 2 3 or 4 block ones especially if they move very fast there is pretty much no chance you land on one of those AND jump of them as well. Again this game is rather hard and there isn't really a good "meta" to this as far as I know.

Spoiler: BuddyBounce

In this game you also have to have some luck with the points spawns etc. tips I can give is to not go for a +5 pointer if it's across the map. There are definitely going to be people that are quicker to get there as the further you are away the slower you take to get there. shooting up from directly underneath a point is the quickest and so you want to kinda avoid being in the corners as you have fewer points that are directly above you or around you.

Spoiler: Assassin

*Game has been removed*


R.I.P. Assassin 13-01-2021

Spoiler: BlockWar

For this game mode I recommend cranking up your mouse DPI or if you don't have a DPI button on your mouse crank up your sensitivity and just go wild swinging left and right while you place blocks on the floor. I recommend trying to fill up white spaces. Absolute don'ts are to try and erase someone's path chance is high they will try to get their path back and erase your progress again, this way you get in a battle that's rapidly losing you points.

Spoiler: WoolMixUp

This game is pretty based on luck but there are some tips I can give.

Stand on the edges of the color you're on and not in the middle this could make the difference between making the next one or not.
If you came from for example a yellow platform, and then jump to a new color, don't face back towards the yellow one again, the chances are very slim it will be yellow again, so it's best to face a direction that has different colors.

Spoiler: BoatRace

Again not a real meta to this, Only two tips I can give is to try avoiding colliding with players it slows you down and sometimes even glitches you behind them, and try to find a straight line down with as little amount of obstacles before the game started.

Spoiler: SnowballFight

Same as with one in the chamber try heading for the middle as most players are there usually. Practice makes perfect so after playing a lot of games you should get better and better at this.

Spoiler: RainbowJump

The only tip I can give here is to get the jump boost from the shop and use it right away it gives you a slight headstart. I will post videos of both maps in which I showcase what in my opinion the best routes are

Rainbow map 1:

good to note: the left is slightly quicker but much harder, so know your skill level to decide which route you take the video showcases the safe one.

Rainbow map 2:

Spoiler: SmokeMonster

This is quite a hard game and I recommend trying to learn all the patterns.
A tip I can give is to stay about halfway from the middle, don't get too close but also not too far away.

Too far away easily gets you killed if the swinging arms smoke is in play.
Too close can kill you when the smoke starts coming out giving you about zero time to react and dying instantly.

Spoiler: TridentParkour

In the beginning, don't aim too far up, the pools are quite close to each other, and going higher is quite slower than aiming pretty straight. I will be posting a video about how high you should be aiming.

Video:

Not the best example as I bumped into another player but as you can see try landing on the edges not in the water and try firing as straight as you can so you don't land too deep

Spoiler: RedAlert

This game is again based somewhat on luck but there are some things you can do, it's quite obvious but always try to stay on white/yellow blocks. Also don't stay in the corners as there are fewer options around you for blocks to jump to of course.

Spoiler: DiamondMine

This game is 90% Luck,
Just use the shovel and dig like a madman around you and don't do stuff like strip mining.

Spoiler: PotionDrop

A potion heals 2.5 hearts so make sure you don't drink potions at the beginning too quickly, many people already drink their potions after losing just 1 heart which I don't recommend as saving them can be vital.
You want to make sure that you have a full hotbar and in the end, spam the hell out of them.

Tip: You can "bypass" the slowness by sprint jumping (just spam control and jump) this way you can get to potions quicker.

Spoiler: BouncingBalls

This game is mainly luck after playing a ton of games I've come to know that it barely matters where you stand and it's all about being lucky.

Spoiler: GhastBall

Try to stay on the edge of the map, sneak on the stone brick so you're pretty much hanging over the edge. This way when a ghastball shoots at you, you can simply dodge it, it will go out of the map as the ghast will shoot at you but since you are at the edge it won't hit the floor/map, so at that point all you have to do is dodge them.

Spoiler: LaserTag

This game requires some skill and ability to aim.

Tips: the lasers have no lead/bullet drop so always aim directly at the player, from other games you might have the tendency to lead your shot but don't.
-If you're in a 1v1 battle they will most likely be jumping around, don't try to shoot them when they're in the air that barely works. wait for them to land from their jump and then shoot, that's the easiest way in my opinion.

Spoiler: RedLightGreenLight

A very simple game so I don't really have any tips (yet)

Spoiler: Smash

I recommend from the start dropping down one floor and let the people fight it out. As you may or may not know the more damage you take the more knockback you take so dropping down and avoiding fights at the starts gives you very little damage and thus very little knockback towards the end. The people that have been fighting at that point have a lot of damage and thus knockback so you should be able to beat them rather easily at that point.


Dropping down one floor to here:

Spoiler: InfectionTag

I highly recommend buying the invisible potion for this mode, this again is buyable with coins in the /shop. You will be invisible for 20 seconds after using it which is (maybe perhaps even too) op. I recommend hiding around a corner and sneaking and trying to wait as long before using the invis at the last moments of the game if you use the invis near the end of the game (20 seconds left) you pretty much can't lose anymore and you're guaranteed at 1st (shared) place.

Spoiler: Hot Potato

Your XP bar is a timer to show how much time is left to blow up, make sure you pass someone the TNT at the very end of that XP bar so they have no time to hit you back.

For the last two players, the XP bar is disabled, I recommend getting the speed boost from the shop. If you have the TNT wait a few seconds about 10 seconds give them the TNT, use the speed boost and run away the furthest you can. You should be able to win like this.

Spoiler: ChickenGame

The same principle as sheep shearer, don't focus too much on the 3 and 4 pointers especially in the game it's really underestimated how quickly you can gain points by killing the chickens.

I don't recommend going for the foxes you waste a lot of time trying to kill them as they are very hard to kill. Only kill Llama's if there are no players near you get killstealed quite often.

Spoiler: DeadEnd

Try to avoid trying to cut people off and rather focus on getting the most space, trying to cut off people usually goes wrong or goes to a cost of the size of your ''island''. Try to get a big island with perhaps an island next to it and buy the jump item and use the jump item to jump to the other island when you need to. Note: the jump item doesn't exactly make you "jump" it launches you in the direction you are looking at, so don't look at the ground when using it, as it will just shoot you in the ground making you lose.

Also: Don't sprint!! You can easily walk around by just tapping w somewhat rapidly. Which is significantly slower buying you way more time but still quick enough to outrun the blocks disappearing behind you.

Spoiler: SheepShooter

Right now a lot of people are slowly starting to figure out the pink ones give the most points (7) So if you are in a lobby with many players and more importantly players, that know about the fact that pink scores the most. try going for cyan as they only give 1 point less (6 points). This is because everyone will focus on the pink ones and because of that you often don't get the pink sheep because someone else has already gotten it.

One of the biggest tips I can give is not to fully charge your bow, as can be demonstrated in this video:

It genuinely makes a huge difference.

Down here is a list of all the points.

Black = Removes all points!!!
Pink = 7
Cyan = 6
Blue = 5
Green = 4
Yellow = 3
Orange = 2
Red = 1

Spoiler: MineField

Try to find a path before the game starts that makes you able to sprint jump without obstruction, if there is obstruction try using the jump boost from the /shop to jump over it.

Spoiler: KingOfTheHill

Stay as much in the middle and sneak, I don't recommend targeting which I see a lot of people doing which creates individual fights that make you both lose a lot of points. Try to avoid sprint jumping as you take the most knockback like this.

Spoiler: AnimalRace

Sneaking makes you step off your animal and makes you walk all the way up to the glass of the start line. Being the first to get to the powerups pretty much guarantees you the win, you need a bit of luck to get the speed boost, those are very overpowered. avoid using the jump boost, as far as I can tell that only slows you down, and quite significantly so. (Of course remember if you don't use it and keep it in your inventory you can't pick up other power-ups so decide if you want to offer up a bit of time loss for hopefully a speed boost, which is most certainly worth it if you get it!!)

Spoiler: Spleef

Throwing snowballs is very good in this as they create a cross on the floor try gathering a full inventory and then spam the hell out of the snowballs. Make sure to lead your snowballs if the other player is running/moving of course.

Spoiler: MazeGame

There is a lot of different paths on this game but it seems to be that the path is always on the far left. I have yet to have a game where I was able to make it out of the maze on the right side.

Spoiler: WipeOut

In this game, there are holes in the wall but you mainly have to pay attention to how many open blocks there are on the floor for you to either jump over or run through. 2 block open spaces on the floor you can easily run for. 1 block open spaces only try it if you absolutely need to (if you're only just about behind for example) usually trying to run through 1 block open spaces goes wrong. Also, remember patience is key, in other words, don't try to rush it this pretty much always goes wrong.

Spoiler: CakeGunner

I recommend going to one of the corners and focus on about 4 holes, alternate between them in the same order, so for example left middle right top, then left middle right top again, and so on. When you're done with shooting the last one the new one should spawn just when you shoot a new cake. A video will come soon to better visualize this.

Video:

At the end you can see me going for even 1 more slot, do this if you feel you are able to do so.

Spoiler: HideAndSeek

No real meta to this, other than the holes in the floor are the best hiding spot I've found so far if you have a block that's somewhat fitting.

Spoiler: Guardian

Slightly based on luck, same with shoot the sheep don't try chasing after the big ones if they're far away from you, it wastes a lot of time you could've used for scoring points.

Spoiler: CraftingGame

Stand near the wood and get 8 wood at the start then run over to stone and get stone until 45 seconds are left, then get iron till about 35 seconds you should have enough material by then that you don't have to gather any more and you can just continuously craft the items quick after another

Like I said I will change this thread accordingly I hope these tips were helpful, thanks for reading and have a nice day.

EDIT 28-12-2020: Added some video's and screenshots

EDIT 16-01-2021: Added a lot of videos and screenshots, updated sheepshooter meta, and updated the meta for OITC, Lasergun, and SnowBallFight, as those games have a point based system now. Also added meta for Guardian and Hide & Seek.
