11Overview22Bliss Bay is one of the three playable cities in inZOI. It is a coastal city inspired by Santa Monica and the broader Southern California region. Sandy beaches, wide boardwalks, palm-lined streets, and a laid-back atmosphere define the city. Where Dowon is vertical and dense, Bliss Bay spreads out horizontally with a more suburban feel and generally larger residential lots. Buildings are more spread out and less densely populated than in Dowon, giving the city an open, relaxed character that sets it apart from the other two starting locations.44The city sits along the ocean and much of daily life revolves around the waterfront. Zois can swim at the beach, surf at Muscle Beach, ride roller coasters at the amusement park, skateboard at the Skate Park, play beach volleyball, or watch football at the stadium. The city transforms at night: the amusement park lights up and fireworks burst over the pier, creating a spectacle visible from much of the waterfront. Bliss Bay is available from the start of the game alongside Dowon and Cahaya.77Bliss Bay contains 14 residential lots and over 20 community lots, including shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, parks, government buildings, and hidden rabbit hole destinations accessible through the scheduling menu. The city also offers its own unique set of careers and a dedicated school system from elementary through university level.99Climate and Weather1111The weather in Bliss Bay is mild and warm year-round. This reflects its Southern California inspiration. Snow is extremely rare under normal conditions. The city still cycles through seasons, but the temperature differences between them are much smaller than in Dowon. Zois living here rarely need to worry about cold-weather clothing or temperature-related illness. The consistently warm climate makes Bliss Bay an ideal city for players who prefer outdoor activities like surfing, swimming, and beach sports without seasonal disruptions.1313Key Locations1515Bliss Bay North Beach1717The main beach area in the city. It is a long stretch of sand along the northern coastline with ocean access. Zois can sunbathe, build sandcastles, jog along the shore, and swim in the ocean. The beach connects to the boardwalk, which has food vendors and seating areas. It is one of the primary spots for Social Events and casual interactions between Zois. North Beach is widely considered one of Bliss Bay's hidden gems, with beautiful scenery stretching along the coastline.1919Central Beach and South Beach2222In addition to North Beach, Bliss Bay has two more beach areas. Central Beach sits near the middle of the coastline and provides another open-air space for sunbathing and socializing. South Beach is located near the southern edge of the city. All three beach areas offer access to the ocean for swimming, and free surfboards are scattered at various spots along the shore for any Zoi to pick up and use.2424Muscle Beach2626Muscle Beach is an outdoor gym area on the waterfront, located near the Beach Volleyball Court.

Zois can visit for entertainment, and riding the attractions satisfies fun-related needs.

Operating hours are 9 AM to 8 PM daily.4141Bliss Bay Football Stadium4343Home to the Bliss Bay Nautilus, the city's football team.

It is a popular spot for family outings. Child Zois can play on playground equipment while adults jog, read, or practice hobbies. The park also hosts periodic Social Events.

Lumiere is a top-floor apartment in a seven-story building located in the center of Bliss Bay, recommended for 5 or 6-person households. 19 Beachfront Drive is a premium property that comes complete with workout equipment and entertainment facilities. For budget-conscious players, 3140 Greenway Street offers the cheapest empty lot at just 5,000 Meow, with a generous 40m x 20m footprint for custom building.103103Some lots are positioned within walking distance of the beach, which gives Zois easy access to swimming and surfing without needing transportation.

Negative karma effects111111Some careers, like Finance and Lawyer, benefit from completing university first. Others, like Football Player and Amusement Park, are available without a degree. The Gangster career (Westside Hustler) is Bliss Bay's equivalent of Dowon's Street Soldier path, carrying negative karma effects and risk of conflict with law enforcement.112112Hidden Rabbit Holes114114In addition to the visitable community lots, Bliss Bay has several hidden rabbit hole destinations. These are buildings that Zois can travel to through the scheduling menu, but the player cannot directly view or control what happens inside. Each offers unique activities or services.116116LocationActivitiesBliss Bay City HallAdministrative services, performances, guided historical toursBliss Bay Panacea HospitalVaccination campaigns, regular health checkupsBliss Bay High CourtLegal proceedings and lawsuitsPNN AmericaBroadcasting station; attend concerts or participate as audience memberLumiere HallEducational talks, singing competitions, hacking competitions, musical competitionsParaiso ToursDomestic travel packages to vacation destinationsHope Sharing FoundationChildren's education volunteer work, community welfareGreen PlanetEnvironmental programs and sustainability protestsPlutus FinancialInvestment seminars, stock simulation tournamentsLifelong Learning CenterTraining camps and certification programs118118Rabbit hole visits occur on a set schedule and the Zoi disappears for the duration. Random events may occur during the visit, prompting the player to make a choice from a menu interface.119119Schools121121Bliss Bay has its own school system separate from Dowon's. The progression follows the same Life Stages:123123SchoolLife StageBliss Bay ElementaryChildBliss Bay Middle SchoolPre-teenBliss Bay High SchoolTeenBliss Bay UniversityYoung Adult and older125125All schools follow the in-game clock and time system. Attendance is tracked and grades affect future career options. The Bliss Bay Public School building is the physical location for the elementary through high school levels. University is located on a separate campus, and completing it unlocks advanced career paths in Finance, Law, and other fields.126126Shops and Dining128128Bliss Bay's commercial offerings lean toward beachside dining and lifestyle stores. The city's shops tend to carry items with a beachy, Californian aesthetic that differs from Dowon's more urban selection. All purchases use Meow, the game's currency.130130VenueTypeHoursDescriptionGolden Apple BurgerRestaurant8 AM - 10 PMClassic American-style burger joint.

Bus stops are placed throughout the city and Zois can board a bus to travel between districts. This contrasts with Dowon, which has an underground subway system but no buses. Private cars and taxis are also available for getting around.135135The city's more spread-out layout means walking between distant locations takes longer than in the denser Dowon, making the bus system or a personal vehicle more practical for daily commutes to jobs and schools. Beachfront lots have the advantage of being within walking distance of many recreational areas, which can reduce the need for transportation during leisure time.137137Activities and Recreation139139Bliss Bay offers a wide range of recreational activities, many of which take advantage of the coastal setting. The following is a summary of activities available throughout the city.141141ActivityDescriptionSurfingFree surfboards are available at various beach spots.
