11Overview22inZOI has a full day/night cycle that transforms the atmosphere of each city once the sun goes down. Street lights flicker on, neon signs glow along storefronts, and entertainment venues fill with Zois looking for a good time. Evening hours (roughly 6 PM to midnight) are when nightlife venues see the most foot traffic, and certain activities, such as night fishing, are only available after dark.44Nightlife in the current Early Access build is still growing. Most community lots close at 10 PM, while nightclubs and entertainment lots stay open until midnight. Sleeping between 10 PM and 6 AM grants a 30x time speed boost, which means the game is designed around daytime activity for now. That said, there is plenty to do if you keep your Zoi awake past sundown.66Bliss Bay Nightlife Venues88Bliss Bay is the stronger city for evening entertainment, with two dedicated nightclubs, a rooftop lounge, an amusement park that comes alive after dark, and a beachfront boardwalk. The coastal setting gives Bliss Bay a resort-town vibe once the lights come on.1010VenueLot TypeLocationKey FeaturesNeon Tides NightclubEntertainmentCentral Bliss Bay (small alley)Dance floor with neon signs, spontaneous live performances and DJ shows.

The venue has a dance floor bathed in colorful neon lighting, and it hosts spontaneous live performances and DJ shows that keep music playing throughout the evening. Zois who visit can dance, socialize with other visitors, and enjoy the atmosphere. The club was converted to an entertainment lot in the v0.3.0 update, and it stays open until midnight. Because the club is located in an alley rather than on a main road, first-time visitors sometimes have trouble finding the entrance. Look for the glowing signage near the central commercial district.1616Elegance Hotel and Nightclub1818Perched on top of the tallest building in Bliss Bay, the Elegance Hotel and Nightclub offers a rooftop bar that connects seamlessly to an indoor lounge. The venue blends music with cocktails, and the elevated position gives visitors sweeping views of the coastline and city lights below. Originally called "Bliss Elegance Hotel & Lounge" and classified as a Food and Drink lot, it was renamed and reclassified as an entertainment lot in v0.4.0. This is one of the best spots for a romantic evening, especially when paired with the Drink Mixing skill to order cocktails.2020Bliss Bay Amusement Park at Night2222The Bliss Bay Amusement Park takes on a different character after dark. Fireworks light up the skyline (a night-exclusive event), and the rides and carnival games are illuminated with colorful lights. It is one of the most popular date locations in the game because the fireworks display creates a memorable atmosphere. Couples visiting the park can ride attractions together, play games, and watch the fireworks side by side. The park stays open during evening hours and is a strong alternative to the club scene for Zois who prefer outdoor entertainment.2424Dowon Nightlife Venues2626Dowon takes a different approach to nightlife. Rather than beach parties and rooftop bars, Dowon offers a rooftop lounge, a dedicated nightclub, a karaoke venue, and a gaming cafe. The city's Korean-inspired urban setting means nightlife is woven into the dense commercial districts.2828VenueLot TypeLocationKey FeaturesSky Club GongmyeongEntertainmentWestern Dowon (rooftop)Rooftop lounge that lights up the night.

It was originally a Food and Drink community lot called "Lounge Gongmyeong" before the v0.3.0 update reclassified it as an entertainment lot. The rooftop setting provides city views, and the lounge atmosphere makes it suitable for both casual hangouts and romantic evenings. Zois can order drinks, socialize, and enjoy the nighttime skyline from the elevated position.3333Pulselight Club3535Pulselight Club is a dedicated nightclub in Dowon that has a DJ booth and a dance floor. The venue has a resident DJ who plays music during operating hours, along with operator staff. Zois can dance, mingle with other visitors, and soak in the club atmosphere. Like other nightclubs, Pulselight Club stays open until midnight. Some players have reported that bartender availability at the venue can be inconsistent, so ordering drinks may not always work smoothly.3737Coin Booth Karaoke3939Coin Booth Karaoke is one of Dowon's signature entertainment spots. Located in eastern Dowon, the venue lets Zois sing solo or perform duets for just 5 Meow per session. A diverse selection of songs is available, spanning modern hits and classic tunes. Singing at karaoke boosts both the Fun and Social needs simultaneously, making it an efficient way to satisfy two motives at once.4141Beyond the entertainment value, karaoke is also a practical way to train the Performance skill. Zois who do not own a personal microphone at home can visit Coin Booth Karaoke to practice singing and steadily raise their Performance level. This makes the venue especially useful for Zois pursuing the Idol Trainee career at Adam Entertainment, since vocal practice is a core job requirement.4343Plesio Gaming Cafe4545Plesio Gaming Cafe is a hub for gamers in southeast Dowon. The cafe features high-end gaming computers, arcade machines, and a selection of food and drinks. It caters to Zois who prefer a quieter form of evening entertainment. While not a nightclub in the traditional sense, the gaming cafe is a social gathering point during evening hours where Zois can play together, watch esports, and relax in comfort.4747Cahaya4949Cahaya does not have dedicated nightlife venues. The island functions as a vacation destination rather than a permanent residence with evening entertainment. The Sri Lestari Resort offers an arcade, billiards, and bowling, but these are daytime recreation options rather than nightlife spots. Players looking for a lively evening scene should head to Bliss Bay or Dowon instead.5151Karaoke in Detail5454The karaoke system in inZOI offers more than just background entertainment. Each session costs 5 Meow and lasts for a set duration. Zois choose from a song list, step up to the microphone, and perform with animated singing gestures. Duet mode lets two Zois sing together, which is especially effective for building relationships while having fun.5656The primary karaoke venue is Coin Booth Karaoke in Dowon. Bliss Bay does not have a dedicated karaoke lot in the base game, though players can add karaoke machines to public lots using the Edit Public Property feature in Build Mode. This workaround lets Bliss Bay residents enjoy karaoke without traveling to Dowon.5858Karaoke BenefitDetailsFun NeedSinging fills the Fun bar quicklySocial NeedDuets boost the Social bar for both participantsPerformance SkillEach session grants Performance skill experienceCost5 Meow per sessionModesSolo singing or duets with another Zoi6060Bar Business and Drink Mixing6161The v0.5.0 update introduced business ownership, and one of the available business types is a bar or lounge. Players who want their Zoi to run a nightlife venue can purchase a commercial lot, designate it as a bar or club, and manage every aspect of operations from setting hours and hiring employees to adjusting pricing and monitoring customer satisfaction.6363The Drink Mixing skill connects directly to the bar business system. Zois with high Drink Mixing skill can craft cocktails using the Beverage Dispensing Machine, which can be placed on business lots. Employees assigned to the bar can also be given drink mixing tasks. For lounge and club business types, cocktail preparation is a core part of daily operations.6565Running a bar business requires consistent attention. Businesses left unattended for several days lose reputation, which reduces foot traffic and revenue. The entry fee model is the primary income source for clubs, since cocktails cannot currently be placed on market stands for individual sale. Despite this limitation, a well-managed bar or lounge can become a steady income stream.6767Date Night Ideas6969Evening hours offer some of the best opportunities for romantic outings in inZOI. Scheduling a date through the Social Events system or by using romantic interactions with another Zoi opens up several nightlife-friendly options. Here are some of the strongest date night approaches:7171Date IdeaLocationWhy It WorksAmusement park fireworksBliss Bay Amusement ParkNight-exclusive fireworks create a memorable atmosphere. Ride attractions together before the show.Rooftop cocktailsElegance Hotel & NightclubPanoramic city views from the tallest building in Bliss Bay. Order drinks and chat at the lounge.Karaoke duetCoin Booth Karaoke (Dowon)Singing a duet together boosts both Fun and Social needs while building relationship points.Evening beach walkBliss Bay BoardwalkA calm, low-cost option. Street performers add ambiance along the waterfront.Nightclub dancingNeon Tides / Pulselight ClubDance together under neon lights. Spontaneous DJ shows add energy to the date.Night fishingAny fishing spotA quiet activity for couples who prefer nature. Night-exclusive fish make the catch more rewarding (see Fishing).7373For the best results, check your Zoi's relationship level before planning a date. Romantic interactions unlock gradually as the relationship meter fills, and reaching Sweetheart level opens up options like setting the mood and proposing marriage.7474Night-Exclusive Activities7676Several activities in inZOI are only available or behave differently once the sun sets:7878ActivityDetailsNight FishingCertain fish species can only be caught after dark, including Koi Yellow Night, Koi Ghost Night, Black Ocellaris Clownfish, Teira Batfish, Cuttlefish, Seahorse Pink-tinged, and Trumpet Emperor. Night fishing is one of the most productive evening activities because these fish are often valuable.Amusement park fireworksThe Bliss Bay Amusement Park fireworks display only triggers at night. This is a visual spectacle worth visiting specifically after dark.Increased venue trafficEntertainment lots see significantly more foot traffic during evening hours than during the day. NPC Zois are more likely to visit clubs, lounges, and the boardwalk after 6 PM.DJ performancesNightclubs like Neon Tides and Pulselight Club feature spontaneous DJ sets during evening hours. These performances are not scheduled but happen organically when the venue is active.City atmosphere changeNeon signs activate, streetlights turn on, and the overall mood of both Dowon and Bliss Bay shifts. The visual transformation is especially striking in Bliss Bay's commercial district.8080DJ and Music Venues8181Music is a central part of the nightlife experience in inZOI. Nightclubs feature DJ booths where resident DJs play sets during evening hours. At Neon Tides Nightclub, spontaneous live performances can occur alongside the DJ shows, giving the venue an unpredictable energy. Pulselight Club in Dowon has a dedicated DJ on staff who operates during opening hours.8383Dancing in the current Early Access build is implemented as individual animations. Zois dance separately rather than performing synchronized group routines or partner dances. While this limits the social dancing experience, it still fills the Fun need and is a way to pass evening hours at entertainment venues. The developers have acknowledged community requests for improved dance mechanics, including group and partner dancing options.8585For Zois interested in music careers, the Idol Trainee path at Adam Entertainment in Dowon involves dance practice, vocal training, and stage performances. While this is a daytime career (Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM), the skills developed through idol training carry over to nightlife activities. A Zoi with high Performance skill sings better at karaoke and can entertain others more effectively at social gatherings.8787Venue Hours and Time Management8989Understanding venue hours is essential for planning an evening out. The closing times vary by lot type:9191Venue CategoryClosing TimeExamplesStandard community lots10:00 PMRestaurants, shops, cafesNightclubs and entertainment lots12:00 AM (midnight)Neon Tides, Elegance Hotel & Nightclub, Sky Club Gongmyeong, Pulselight Club, Coin Booth KaraokeArcadesPast midnightArcade machines in select venuesPublic areasAlways openBeach Boardwalk, parks, fishing spots9393The developers have acknowledged that the midnight closing time for nightclubs "can feel too early" but have confirmed it is intentional in the current version. The 30x time speed boost for sleeping between 10 PM and 6 AM means the game encourages daytime schedules. Staying up late does not speed up time; instead, the hours pass at normal rate, making late-night sessions feel longer relative to daytime play.9494To make the most of the evening window, start your nightlife outing around 6 PM to 7 PM. This gives your Zoi roughly five to six hours of venue time before midnight closing. If you plan to combine activities (for example, dinner at a restaurant followed by clubbing), account for the restaurant closing at 10 PM and transition to an entertainment lot before then.9696Current Limitations9898Nightlife in the Early Access version has some rough edges that the developers are actively working on:100100Clubs can be sparsely populated, with only a handful of Zois wandering in at any given time. Planning a party at a venue and inviting guests is the most reliable way to fill the space.Dancing is limited to individual animations. Zois dance separately rather than together as a group or with a partner.There is no robust autonomous nightlife behavior from NPCs. Zois do not independently decide to go out clubbing on their own.The Drink Mixing skill can be practiced at bars and lounges, but the bar scene itself is still basic. Cocktails cannot be placed on market stands for direct sale.Bartender availability at some venues (notably Pulselight Club) can be inconsistent, making it difficult to order drinks.Bliss Bay lacks a dedicated karaoke venue. Players must either travel to Dowon or add karaoke machines to public lots manually.102102Tips for Nightlife104104The Bliss Bay Amusement Park with nighttime fireworks makes the best date location for building relationships. Time your visit so you arrive before the fireworks trigger.Karaoke at Coin Booth (5 Meow per session) boosts both Fun and Social needs simultaneously, making it one of the most efficient evening activities.Night fishing is one of the most productive evening activities, since certain valuable fish like Koi Ghost Night and Cuttlefish only appear after dark.If you want your Zoi to experience nightlife, avoid putting them to bed before midnight. The 30x sleep speed boost makes it easy to accidentally skip the entire evening.To fill a club with guests, plan a party through the Social Events system and invite up to ten Zois. This is more effective than hoping NPCs show up on their own.Train the Performance skill at karaoke to prepare for the Idol Trainee career. Each karaoke session grants Performance experience without needing to buy a microphone for your home.If you run a bar business, keep it staffed consistently. Businesses lose reputation quickly when left unattended, and recovering customer trust takes time.Start evening outings around 6 to 7 PM to maximize your available time before venues close at midnight.Use the Edit Public Property feature in Build Mode to add karaoke machines or DJ booths to community lots in Bliss Bay if you want nightlife options without traveling to Dowon.
