How to find a Stunt Party event in Forza Horizon 6

Welcome to the Party, Pal! is the most frustrating challenge to kick off Series 1 of the Festival Playlist in Forza Horizon 6. It's the first daily challenge, so at least you've got up to a week to beat it, and you might need it, since you've got to finish round three of a Horizon Stunt Party event.

Chances are, you've not done one of these yet, especially if you only joined in at the full launch, which coincided with the start of the live service schedule. So here's what you need to do.

How to find a Stunt Party event in Forza Horizon 6

Stunt Party events spawn periodically, marked by a pink circle on the map. Frustratingly, there is no way to force the event to spawn, though in my experience, when they do spawn, it tends to be at the top of the hour.

You'll get an alert at the top of your screen when it's active, then you've got 10 minutes to reach the location marked on the map (you can fast travel there), where you can accept the prompt to start matchmaking. You'll be thrown into it in whatever car you're currently driving, so I recommend swapping to one of the best cars first.

This will place you in a multiplayer lobby where you need to work with other players to complete mini-game activities, such as reaching checkpoints within a time limit, breaking objects to get high scores, or throwing yourself off ramps.

For the Welcome to the Party, Pal! challenge specifically, you'll need to reach the third round. This basically just means participating in all the activities until you reach the end, which typically takes around 10-15 minutes. And it's pretty rewarding, too—I earned 11,000 credits for completing a Horizon Stunt Party. And for beating this challenge, you'll bag an extra 5,000 credits, plus one point towards the Festival Playlist season progress.
