New Room Theme: Party Time

Update: I just found out that I made a mistake reporting on the Party Time theme. Three of the items in the collection are Deluxe only. I’ll fix the post soon! 🙂

On May 10th, a new room theme arrived in the WShop. It’s called “Party Time,” and it’s a collection of furniture and decorations to create a birthday party (or any type of party, really).

There are 14 items total in the Party Time collection.

Here’s a list of the items with their corresponding prices:

1. Banner: 300
2. Column: 800
3. Counter: 450
4. Dining chair: 400
5. Table: 600
6. Flooring: 350
7. Kitchen Island: 650
8. Poster: 250
9. Presents: 300
10. Sink: 525
11. Snacks: 230
12. Sofa: 600
13. Wallpaper: 350
14. Window: 650

Without any coupons, buying the entire Party Time theme will cost you 6,455 kinzcash.

One of the great things about the Party Time room theme is that all of the items are available to all members. There are no items that are available exclusively to Deluxe members.

Here’s a large sized room I put together using only pieces from the Party Time theme:

To me the room seems a little bare with just the Party Time items. Maybe a smaller sized room would be better, or perhaps the Party Time room theme needs to be mixed/matched with other theme items.

There are two items in the Party Time room theme that I want to highlight – the Snacks and the Presents.These are my favorite items because they can be rotated to create different looks, like the Trolley Wardrobe in the Hotel Theme.

Let’s start with the Snacks.

This gif shows the transformation the Snacks go through when you rotate the item:

As you can see from the gif, there are 4 separate designs available within the Snacks – punch bowl, cupcakes, birthday cake and veggie/chip tray:

These snacks are pretty versatile. I can definitely think of lots of uses for all four designs. How about you?

Next let’s look at the Presents. Here’s another gif to show you the transformation:

As with the Snacks, there are 4 different looks hidden within just one item:

I love how you can create a unique looking pile of gifts by rotating and arranging the Presents – you can have everything from a solitary wrapped box to a mixture of boxes and gift bags. I think the Presents will be an item I will use in lots of different rooms.

Another item in the Party Theme that I want to spotlight is the Sink. The Sink is interactive. You can go from a clean, empty sink:

To a sink full of dishes:

These are some really cute details here – look at the confetti sprinkled around the basin of the sink – it really looks like your cleaning up after a party!

So, what do you think about the Party Time theme? Do you plan to buy the whole collection or just a few pieces? Which Party Time items are your favorite? Let me know in the comments for a Party Time prize via kinzpost. 🙂
