Party Tem is a party game, similar to the Mario Party series, developed by PI, initially as an exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, but the game was later ported to PI's own system, the Picon.The game sees up to four players moving around a board trying to collect 'stickers' whilst playing mini-games on the way.
Plot
It is SpongeBob's birthday and Temmie and the all-star gang are determined to throw him the best birthday party ever. Everyone is given a scrapbook to house 'stickers' they find along life-sized board game boards created by Sandy Cheeks. Whoever has the most stickers at the end of the game wins. Everyone was invited to the party except Bill Cipher who decided to crash the party by adding 'Cipher Spaces', 'Phony Stickers' and simply showing up every now and again to change things up a bit by adding his own rules and stealing stickers. Now the all-star gang must make this the best party ever without having the fun ruined for all of them.
Modes
Party Mode
In party mode, up to four players travel around a board trying to collect stickers that can be found in certain spaces, won in mini-games or found in a certain space with a load more of them. Every turn a minigame is played. Party Mode has two versions: Normal Party mode (which is basically every typed before what is after the brackets) and Story Mode which is exactly the same but there is a story to it, every board is played in order and there are boss battle mini-games after each board. This mode can be played online.
Minigame Mode
Minigame mode is where minigames can be played and selected by the player/s any time. This mode can be played online, but players have to vote for the mini-game.
amiibo Mode (Pal Mode in Picon Port)
amiibo Mode is a mode which has to be played with two or more players and there are no CPUs. Each player plays as a compatible amiibo that they own and the goal is to simply make it to the end of the track by rolling the dice. Data can be scanned onto amiibo and they can be played against like CPUs in all modes and they will be harder if they win more often when playing with a friend. This mode can be played online.
In the Picon port, this mode still exists within the game, but is played without amiibo entirely. The player can create a 'pal' of any character they've unlocked, and the mode is played with them. They can also be trained and played against or with in all other modes.
Sticker Mode
Sticker Mode isn't really a mode but more of a bonus feature. Players can look at all stickers they have collected in their scrapbook and can trade stickers online with other people to collect all stickers you can get.

| Minigame Space | Launches a minigame, another minigame is still played at the end of the round even if that is when the space is landed on | |
| Cipher Space | Bill Cipher appears and casts a generally negative effect on the player who landed on it, there are no Cipher Spaces at the start of the round but Bill Cipher puts two/three Cipher Spaces on the board every time he visits | |
| Back Space | The player who lands on the space moves back on space | |
| Roll Space | The player who lands on the space has to roll again | |
| Empty Space | The player who lands on the space claims the space as theirs and whoever lands on it afterwards must give them one sticker, if the player has no stickers then he/she goes into minuses | |

| Duel Space | The player who lands on the space engages in a die-fight where they both roll a die and whoever gets the highest number takes half of the opponent's stickers | |

| Item Dispenser | Despenses an item |
Items
Items are items that are dispensed from the Item Dispenser.
| Image | Name | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Sonic Speed Shoes | The player puts on special shoes and moves and whatever number rolled on the dice is multiplied by two for three turns, meaning the player moves twice the amount of spaces. | |
| Skrink Ray | The player shoots itself with a shrink ray which causes the player to be able to access mini spaces. The effects wear off after five turns. | |
| Backwards Hat | The player moves backwards the number rolled with the dice for three turns. | |
| Sticker | The player is granted one sticker. | |
| Slow Die | The player is granted a slow die, which rolls slowly so the player can essentially choose the number he/she/it wants. It disintegrates after one turn. |
