The in-game event is returning to the cozy MMO, Palia, with new quests, more activities, and rewards for which the Chapaa Chase mini-game will return for more chapaas and plenty of mayhem.

This furry in-game activity once again tasks players with having to catch these elusive critters throughout the market grounds to earn unique currency and exchange it for rewards. Before we lose yet another chapaa, players can learn more about this chaotic mini-game as we’ve explained how to join and play the Chapaa Chase mini-game during the Maji Market event in Palia.

How To Join The Chapaa Chase Mini-Game In Palia?

Chapaa Chase is a mini-game activity introduced for the Maji Market event, which became available in August 2023. This chapaa-themed mini-game is returning for the Luna New Year-themed Maji Market, as players will once again catch as many chapaas as possible within the time limit.

The Maji Market will begin in-game on 30th January 2024, for which the event will be available for players to participate until 27th February 2024. The Chapaa Chase mini-game takes place at night for two hours between 12:10 am and 2:10 am in Palian time, during which they have two hours to catch chapaas before the mini-game ends.

Players are to receive an invitational letter via their Mailbox to get the new market questline and can join the festivities by heading to its page on the Events tab. The Maji Market is to be held at the Kilima Village Fairgrounds, where, entering the market, the chapaa pen will be one of the first stalls they’ll find.

How To Play The Chapaa Chase Mini-Game In Palia?

To play this chaotic mini-game, players must be at the Fairgrounds during the market, for which the mini-game will begin at 12:10 am in Palian time. Players will work together for this mini-game, as the main objective is to catch as many chapaas as possible before the timer runs out.

Once the Chapaa Chase begins, players are to locate chapaas throughout the market grounds, which they must sprint after them before they dive underground. To catch a chapaa, players must hit the F key to grab a chapaa before delivering them back to their pen and can repeat the process until the timer runs out.

A tally will be present on-screen, which displays how many chapaas have been caught by them and other players, and it will also display the number of Chapaa Chase Tickets to be earned by all players involved. It’s unclear if the Chapaa Chase Tickets will still be the mini-game currency they can earn or if it will be replaced by the Lucky Envelopes, which we’ll confirm once more information has been provided.

After the timer runs out, players will be awarded these Chapaa Chase Tickets, which can be exchanged for prizes at the Chapaa Hut beside the pen. It’s not known what rewards will be available at the Chapaa Hut, but it’s possible that last year’s items may be returning, which included chapaa-themed plushies, pillows, and a wallpaper Furnishing item.

Additionally, it’s not yet confirmed whether new rewards will be available at the Chapaa Hut, which they can exchange their tickets for after participating in the Chapaa Chase mini-game. Nevertheless, they can return to the Fairgrounds every in-game night to join the Chapaa Chase mini-game and earn Chapaa Chase Tickets until the Maji Market ends on 27th February 2024.

Palia is currently available via the Epic Games Store and in Open Beta for PC, as players can install the game launcher detailed in this guide. The game is now available to download for Nintendo Switch as of 14th December 2023.
