    EVENT AVAILABILITY

    September 2nd, 2026 - September 4th, 2026
    12 PM Pacific Time

    What’s that in the sky? A bird? A plane? A suspiciously enormous amount of frosting?! IS IT CAKE???

    A gigantic mystery cake has crash-landed smack-dab in the middle of the Quad, covering everything in frosting, crumbs, and enough sprinkles to last us until graduation. Where did it come from? Why is it so huge? And, uh… are we sure there isn’t anyone trapped underneath it?!

    There’s only one way to find out: WE HAVE TO EAT IT, DUH.

    This cake is way too massive for any one Club to handle alone. It’s going to take the entire campus... every fork, every bite, every sugar-fuelled student to devour this dessert disaster and uncover whatever (or whoever 👀) might be underneath.

    So grab your friends. Grab your forks. Maybe wear something you don’t mind getting frosting on. It’s time to TAKE THE CAKE! 🎂🍴

    DELICIOUS DETAILS
    ☞ This Take the Cake! Campus Takeover Party will be available every 4 hours (meaning if the party runs for the full 3 hours, it won't be available again for another hour).
    ✨NEW✨ If you are in two parties at once (e.g. your club party and the Campus Takeover one), there will be an arrow where you can expand to see the other party! It'll be in a circle border instead of rounded square.
    ☞ Otherwise, find this party on your home screen!
    ☞ Each player will be capped to 5000 hits per Take the Cake! party.

    How to Defeat the Cake


    Defeating this colossal cake will be a Campus XC, "Take the Cake"! This XC has a campus-wide score that the entire player base contributes to by participating in the Take the Cake! campus party.

    ☞ Use either
    GRAB FORK, DIG IN, and CUT SLICE attacks to hit the party's regular bar.
    ☞ The final bar will require you to throw Hungry Critters at the cake with the ITEM attack.
    ☞ Once defeated, this party will drop Cake Chatter which is what you will require to progress in the Campus XC.

    FAQ


    What's a Campus Takeover Party?
    It's a massive party that requires all players on PIMD to contribute (hit) to! Check out the very first Campus Takeover Party here!

    When does it start? What time are parties?
    The Take the Cake! Campus Takeover Party will be available from 12 PM Pacific Time on September 2nd, 2026. There will be 12 parties in total, starting every 4 hours!

    How can I find the party? How often will the party be available?
    If you are in two parties at once (e.g. your club party and the Campus Takeover one), there will be an arrow where you can expand to see the other party! It'll be in a circle border instead of rounded square. Otherwise, find this party on your home screen!

    I can't find the party, the party icon isn't showing up for me? What's going on?
    1. Ensure you are using the latest updated version of the PIMD app from your respective app store (App Store/Google Play)
    2. Double check the party schedule to confirm there is supposed to be a Take the Cake! party running
    3. If there is supposed to be an active party, the party could have already been defeated. In that case, you will need to wait for the next scheduled party. We would strongly recommend being there for the start of a Take the Cake! party to make sure you can participate.

    Just like with regular parties you run in your own clubs, there will be a 15-minute countdown timer that will appear to indicate that the Take the Cake! party will be beginning soon!

    PLEASE NOTE
    You must have completed ALL of your tutorial stories before seeing XCs, including this one!

    What is are Hungry Critters? Where can I find them?
    You'll need Hungry Critters to complete the final bar of the Take the Cake! party. You can find them in Molly's Deals for cash every hour! Each player is limited to holding ONLY 120 of these, so plan your attacks accordingly!

    What is Cake Chatter?
    Cake Chatter drops when the cake has been defeated after a successful party! They count towards progress in the Take the Cake! XC. Collect at least 100 of these to earn the brand new Cake-Chomping Champion achievement!

    How do I access the Slice Squad chat room?
    You'll need to buy the Cake Slice Emoji Spell 🍰 from the Store! Once you do, you'll have access for 48 hours i.e. the entire length of this Campus Takeover Party event. This chat room will disappear shortly after the final Take the Cake! party ends.

    Are any of the rewards tradeable?
    Not this time around!

    Can I participate in this party multiple times?
    Absolutely! Every successful party completion takes a bite out of the cake and contributes to the global Campus XC score. The more you join, the more Cake Chatter you’ll collect, and the faster you get to claiming rewards!

  7. Yay to no leaderboards 🥳
     
  8. Thank you for doing this one as a true community event where everyone gets the same thing. Not having it as a leaderboard where most miss out on majority of the rewards. These are the type of community events I wouldn't mind seeing way more frequently.
     
  9. Love this as a true community event with no leaderboard.

  13. not a fan of pink, but i don't hate this. super cute! thanks for another community event that doesn't require spending and doesn't have a leaderboard where folks hoard the exclusive avatars 😍🩵
     
  14. haha the furniture isn't too bad looking in terms of design and detail and overall being on theme. just wish the 999 was periwinkle or the same shade of blue as the ribbon on the Take The Cake Walls inside the ATA Day cake box instead of pink 🌚
