Party Down

Background: Shannon wanted to do something else that can give her a break in Hollywood. One advertisement on TV gave her an idea on what she needs to do to achieve her goal, that is, to join a team of party organizers. The team has big time customers in Hollywood and Shannon believes that this is her chance to be popular. Party Down is another time management game where you had to organize party by arranging guests seating, placing guests in chat areas, serving them food and drinks, placing them in the dancing area, entertain them with music, and talking to them to increase your popularity as well as your team. There are 7 places and each have 7 levels (presented in party hours) to play. Shannon is joined with a bartender, chef, bouncer, disc jockey, and an usher.

Tips/Strategies: Everybody loves to level up their strengths or powers in any game, so in this one you need to increase your popularity to gain advantage of the game. There are two things that you can increase for each of the person in your team, speed and chatting skills. Try to increase the popularity of each of your crew at the lower levels of the game or as soon as you can so you can take advantage of the harder levels once you reached them. The basic goal of the game is to reach a certain score, but another objective is to chat a certain number of personality before the time runs out. Even if you reached the goal or got a gold score, that wouldn't get you to the next level. So make sure to prioritize chatting with the guests before you can make sure you reach the score goal.

Review: Party Down is something new and interesting. For a person like me who likes to party, this is a really great game. I finished the game in one sitting and I still got the energy to review it. The game might have shown the real stuff that happens on a party and it even has the real Hollywood personalities like Angelina Jolie and James Cameron. This is the best time management game for me so far.
