===The party===
[[File:2017 Birthday event - Party Pete's party woes.png|right|thumb|Party Pete expresses his discontent with the state of the celebrations.]]
Return to the Party Room, and discover several more people attending the party that you did not invite ([[Gnome child]], [[Lutist]], [[Tim]], [[Crunchy]], [[Gabe]], [[Aggie]], [[Evil Dave]], [[Cow31337Killer]], [[Squire]], [[Kaylee]], and [[Sergeant Damien]]). Speak to Party Pete, who will see that the partygoers are not enjoying themselves, and wants you to liven up the party.

For this part, players will need 200 coins and three [[beer]]s. Two free beers can be obtained from [[Lucy]] or [[Megan]] upstairs.

==Finishing up==
Speak to Party Pete, then a cutscene will ensue, where a mugger intrudes the party, planning to kill everyone. Party Pete then challenges him to a dance off. Because of the official mugger code, he cannot refuse it.

After the cutscene, speak to Party Pete once more to receive a [[4th birthday hat]] and [[birthday balloons]]. If players did not obtain the birthday event items from previous years (a [[war ship]], [[cow outfit]], and [[gnome child hat]]), they will receive it along with this year's rewards.

In addition, the player will unlock the [[smooth dance]] and [[crazy dance]] emote.

==Trivia==
*The beginning of the dance-off is a reference to the film ''{{wp|Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny}}'', where both Party Pete and Jack Black, the lead singer, say 'Wait!' in a dramatic tone. The villain, or demon in that case, is then challenged to a rock-off, and similarly to the mugger, the demon cannot refuse in accordance with the code.
*The [[lutist]] attending the party is a reference to the character Kvothe in the novel ''The Name of the Wind'', the first of three novels in ''The Kingkiller Chronicle'' series by American author Patrick Rothfuss.
*There is a dog present in the party, [[Gabe]], who is a reference to the late <span class="plainlinks">[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/gabe-the-dog-bork-remixes Gabe the Dog]</span>, a miniature American Eskimo and Pomeranian dog whose barks were remixed as the melody of certain popular songs.
*The skeleton Crunchy and warrior Tim attending the party are a reference to the two figures from Jagex's original artwork; they later held the 'High Detail' or 'Low Detail' buttons on the ''RuneScape'' screen.
*The smooth dance emote is based on the dance found in Canadian artist Drake's music video, 'Hotline Bling'. 
*The crazy dance emote is based on the dance found in South Korean artist PSY's music video, 'Gangnam Style'.
