## Event description

Party at the Principal's office! Come and get your present!

**Party** is a random event in *Baldi's Basics Plus*.

## Gameplay

### General

   There is a random chance of the party event happening. Although it can appear on all three floors, it commonly happens in floor 1. When it starts, the description will tell the player to come and get their present at the Principal's office with colorful balloons. This event will distract some other characters, even Baldi, giving the player a choice to either collect notebooks and access elevators without getting interfered with or to collect the valuable item. During the party, a random item, such as An Apple for Baldi, the Grappling Hook, or the BSODA will appear at the center of the Principal's office. After the party ends, the item will disappear if it is not obtained, but the balloons will not disappear.

If NPCs spot the player during the party event, they will ignore the party event and change the target to the player. That means if Playtime is in the office as the player comes in, Playtime will have a chance to force them to do the jump rope minigame, wasting the player's time to reach the item. Baldi, if distracted, will remain inside the office until the event expires, but he can resume his chase if the player enters the room. However, Beans does not spit bubble gum during the party event, even if he spots the player. He will say one of his bubble-gum-chewing quotes regardless. This does not apply to characters who do not directly interact with the player, such as Gotta Sweep and Cloudy Copter.

Even though Principal of the Thing can enter the party at his office, he will not join in while he is chasing the player for breaking the school rules.
Additionally, Chalkles, It's a Bully, and The Test will not attend the party event.

## Trivia

### General

* This event is first revealed in the Kickstarter description.

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* Since V0.3, if replacing the selected item to the item from the event while the inventory is full and leaving it there, the replaced item will disappear when the event expires.
* At floor 1, the party event seems to be slightly rarer than the fog event.
* Sometimes, NPCs will stand clipping through furniture.
* The balloons that spawn in the event are reused from *Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash*. They appear to be clipping through the walls, likely due to a development oversight.
* This is the only event available in all floors and all options in Endless Mode.
* Prior to V0.1.3, the event would last from 30 to 60 seconds.

## Glitches

* In V0.3.4 for Endless Mode - Medium and V0.3.5 for randomly generated levels, the music would not play from the Principal's office, so the caption was located at the different location.

Will you risk getting the item or use the party as a chance to sneak a notebook while everyone's distracted? Random events will keep you on your toes, and change how you play while they're active!*" - Kickstarter page description
