Hello Kitty Party Land boards are the board game mode of the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 party game: up to four players spin a roulette, walk a map and gather items together. The game has three boards. This page covers how they work, what each one asks for, the quotas and the board spaces.
How Hello Kitty Party Land boards work
Each turn you spin a roulette and move. Paths branch, so you choose a direction at forks. A day ends after everyone has taken a turn.
- Collecting: you gather the board's item along the way.
- Delivery Spaces: you hand in what you collected at these spaces, which work as Give or Charge.
- Items: you can use them during other players' turns.
- Ending: the board ends when the quota is met, with a Last Game Bonus, or when the days run out.
- Coins: they are always awarded, win or lose.
Cubed3 describes the mode as co-op, with difficulty levels that change the rules and goals, and calls the boards short. Bandai Namco has not published a play time. New to the game? Start with the Hello Kitty Party Land guide.
Blooming Flower Festival
You gather flowers so Marroncream can start the festival. The medium quota is 150 flowers each, and the board has one Delivery Space. The manual says playing this board unlocks Badtz-Maru as a partner, so it is a good first pick. See the Hello Kitty Party Land characters page for the cast.
Tropical Twilight
Tiran and friends need fruit grown, so you collect droplets while climbing the mountain. The medium quota is 150 droplets, with four Delivery Spaces.
Sparkling Neon Night
Goropikadon has a live show that needs power, so you gather sparks. The medium quota is 200 sparks, with three Delivery Spaces. Here are all three boards side by side:
| Board | You collect | Medium quota | Delivery Spaces |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blooming Flower Festival | Flowers | 150 each | 1 |
| Tropical Twilight | Droplets | 150 | 4 |
| Sparkling Neon Night | Sparks | 200 | 3 |
The manual lists the medium quota only. Quotas for the other difficulties have not been published.
Board spaces
| Space | What it does |
|---|---|
| Normal | Nothing special. |
| Shop | Play a Petit Game to earn currency, or trade items. |
| Minigame | Starts a mini game. |
| Challenge | A Petit Game, with a penalty if you fail. |
| Item | Gives you an item. |
| Map-specific | Plus, Fountain, Shell, Arrow, Roulette and TV Game appear on particular maps. TV Game costs 10 sparks. |
The manual does not say which map holds each special space. Try the games on their own in the Hello Kitty Party Land mini games list.
Petit Games during other turns
Hello Kitty Party Land boards are built so nobody sits idle.
Petit Games are small solo games played on the Game Pad while other players take their turns, so nobody waits with nothing to do. They also appear at Shop, Challenge and TV Game spaces and in Sky Farm. If you have not finished one by your next turn, you skip that turn. Reviewers Cubed3 and Famitsu both liked this idea. For a family session, see Hello Kitty Party Land multiplayer.
Critics compare the mode with Mario Party and find it lighter; see Hello Kitty Party Land vs Mario Party and the Hello Kitty Party Land review roundup.
Hello Kitty Party Land Boards FAQ
How many boards are there?
There are three boards: Blooming Flower Festival, Tropical Twilight and Sparkling Neon Night. Cubed3 lists the small number of boards as a complaint.
How long is a board game?
Bandai Namco has not published a play time. Cubed3 calls the boards short, and a board ends when the quota is met or the days run out.
What happens if a Petit Game is unfinished?
If you have not finished your Petit Game by the time your next turn comes, you skip that turn. Finish it while the others move.
Can you play a board with the CPU?
It is unclear. Reviews confirm solo play of the mini games against CPU characters, but no source we checked says whether a board can be played with CPU partners, so we have left it out for now.
