11Overview2233Group Interactions are a social feature added in the March 26, 2026 v0.7.0 anniversary update. The system lets multiple Zois participate in shared activities together rather than performing actions in parallel. Group Interactions complement the existing autonomous behavior and multitasking system by enabling cooperative gameplay where Zois deliberately interact with the same object or activity.4455The v0.7.0 update introduced a substantial library of group activities spanning fitness, music, intellectual pursuits, and seasonal fun. Some activities require specific objects (a picnic mat, an outdoor tub, a snowy area), while others can be initiated wherever Zois are gathered.6677Confirmed Group Activities8899The v0.7.0 patch documented these specific group activities:101011111212ActivityNotesHave a Pillow FightConfirmed group action.
