Players can donate items to the party room chest, but cannot withdraw them again. 216 individual items can be put in, before the chest is full. Pulling the lever next to the chest for 1,000 coins will cause 200 balloons to float down around the hall. Popping these balloons may yield an item from the chest. This, and the bar upstairs, makes the Party Hall a popular place for drop parties.

If stackable items (such as bank notes) are present in the chest when the lever is pulled, a random quantity may be taken from the stack and dropped to the ground when a balloon is popped. The specific amount can range from 1 up to the whole stack, with each integer being equally likely.^[1] There is no fixed chance for any given balloon to contain an item, as these odds depend on the amount of items contained in the party chest at the moment the balloon is popped.^[2] The specific model of the balloon that is popped has no impact on the chance to yield an item.^[3] If multiple players attempt to pop a single balloon on the same game tick, PID prioritisation will determine who will be awarded the item.^[4]

While players with an Ironman Mode account type are allowed to pop balloons during a drop party, no items will be taken from the party chest when they do so. As such, they can cause no items to disappear from the party chest, nor to leave them on the ground for unrestricted accounts to pick up.^[5] Interference can result from spawned scenery items however, as balloons can only land on unobstructed tiles.^[6]

Brand-new free-to-play accounts cannot donate items to the party chest until their trade restrictions are lifted. Party Pete will also remove items from the chest that fall below a certain threshold of value.

Trivia

The player character will still refer to the party chest as the "gold chest" in dialogue with Party Pete, even though the chest lost its golden trim during the move from Seers' Village to Falador.^[7]
Jagex Moderator may use a rotten potato on the party chest in order to fill it with one partyhat of each colour.
