This game aims to show a glimpse of what it is like growing up in big families, and what it's like having what feels like 100 birthday parties every year due to this.
Your job in this game is to be the Party Planner.
You will be given each party as a quest list.
If the player clicks a specific party on the list it will open it up to show the summary which could possibly include what the parent wants for that party, the type of location given for the party, the amount of party goers there will be based on age and gender, the time limit the player has to purchase supplies and prepare and set up as well as the style or theme that the parent wants for the party along with hints on some of the birthday kid's favorite things e.g. Stars, Turtles, The night sky, Pirates, Princess's.
Next to what is written in the summary will be the amount of money allocated to purchase those supplies or one big lump some to leave it to the players discretion along with which of them are the main and optional objectives.
Ultimately it is up to the party planner to decide as to whether they would like to follow the parent's wants or what they assume the child would like based on a generalized view given to the player in the summary.
Each week or level the player will be given new quests and/or new people to plan parties for.
You could have 6 different types of age and groups of people to cater to, ones that want parties for children 5 and under (if the party is a little girls princess theme, the player would still need to take into account the number of boys attending and catering to their needs as you don't want to put them in a princess crown and vice versa), 5 to 10 and 11+.
Could possibly eventually even add in Kids only (informal) or Adults (formal) only parties.
The player is given an energy life bar of 100, the player would have to take into account the amount of energy and money it takes to get to the specialist shop to purchase the supplies they need as the life would refill 1 energy point every 30 seconds.
It is left to the player to decide if they would like to plan and prepare one party at a time or take on a number a parties at once, however their life will remain at 100 and when they accept the quest to find party supplies the time limit on the quest will start (e.g. One could be 3 days and another could be a week depending on the type of party and wants of the parents).
The player if they would like to go shopping for supplies they will be asked which type of specialty shop they would like to go to then will be shown a map in the top left hand corner and will have to navigate around the map and streets. By swiping left right and up at intersections or lights until they have reached the shop. They would then need to navigate their way around the shop in the same way to find all the supplies they would like to purchase if it is party supplies and furniture, in circumstances like the cake shop the player could choose the shape of the cake along with the color scheme and way it is presented.
Once the party has been successful the player will be given bonus money, life energy, XP and new parties will be unlocked.
Once the player has gone up levels by gaining XP things could be unlocked like assistants, delivery drivers, opening up a store front, catalogs, things that would make it easier for the player to then be able to plan, create and hosts more and more parties at once as the game proceeds.
Assistants could be used so once the player has run out of energy, the assistance acts as the reserve where they will be allowed to do a certain amount of things per hour depending on what level the player is.
If the player fails to complete the primary objective they will lose that party's budget and the money that they have already spent on the party supplies.
The aim of the game is to be the best party planner in town, do you choose to go for the money and follow the parents every want or do you go for the minimal pay and purchase extras to attempt make the kid extremely happy which in the end could be good or bad.
Each has its ups and downs and each affects the final scores outcome.
