How to play Free-For-All in Party Animals

Party Animals has three game modes: Last Stand, Team Score, and Arcade. While you can’t change the team sizes in Team Score and Arcade, you can make Last Stand a free-for-all game mode. Here’s how to change team sizes in Party Animals and create a free-for-all game mode.

By default, Last Stand is a game mode with four teams of eight players. To change Last Stand into a free-for-all game mode — or “deathmatch” if you want to call it that — you need to create a Custom Game.

Once you’ve created a Custom Game and selected Last Stand, go to Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the list of exciting changes you can make to your Custom Game until you see the Last Stand Team Number, which is the last option in the list.

Select the drop-down and change it to eight teams. Once you’re done, press Apply. Now, you’ll see eight empty slots and it’ll say “Solo Game” at the top. You have now successfully created the free-for-all game mode in Party Animals.

If you want to make Last Stand into a two-team game where teams of four players fight to be the last on the field, then you can follow the same steps and change the Last Stand Team Number to two teams.

It makes sense that the team number can’t be changed in Team Score because the maps are specifically made for two teams. However, it’s a bummer that you can’t play the two Arcade maps in free-for-all mode. Those two maps are a lot of fun and two-team games are good, but not having the option to change the team number is a little bit of a letdown.

Perhaps there will be an update made down the road that allows for more settings options to adjust how Arcade maps work. For now, the only way to play deathmatch in Party Animals is through changing the team number in Last Stand.
